P7 Prom

Last night, Wednesday 26th June 2013, was the prom for our current P7 class.  The evening was a fitting celebration of these young people and all they have achieved in their time with us and they were joined by many of their family and friends for their special night.

They certanly know how to make an entrance . . .

They then proceeded down the red carpet to have their photos taken with their families and with each other.  Many thanks to Mid Calder Camera Club for taking this task on, we are looking forward to seeing the final images.

This was followed by a very successful ceilidh and a wonderful time was had by all.  Thank you to the PSFA  and especially Mrs Bonner for organising another fantastic event and thank you also to all our Primary 7 pupils and their families that made the whole thing possible.

A Golden Moment

As you all know Miss Jean Martin is retiring on Friday after teaching at Pumpherston & Uphall Station Primary School for the past 41 years.  As much I am sure she is looking forward to the next stage of her life I know that Miss Martin will miss being in the school and being with the children every day.  It takes someone very special to have  taught in the same community for 41 years and at a very emotional assembly in the school yesterday Miss Martin described the school and the communities it serves as ‘being like a special family’.  We will all miss her and wish her a very long and happy retirement.

Busy, busy, busy

As the end of term comes hurtling towards us it is sometimes hard to find the time to record the highlights of each week.  This past week has seen the P3 class participate in some Highland Games, our  annual Beach Disco and our final sports day, which is when we do all the races.  Thankfully the weather has been on our side and everything has gone to plan.  The last week of term is likely to be just as busy, if not busier to watch this space.

Here are photos of some of the highlights of the week . . .

P6 have been a very busy bunch this week! We have been trying finish filming our DVD for the nursery children.  Our DVD cases arrived and we have sent our art work to the printer to create the covers.  We can’t wait to see the finished copy!

Primary 4

This week we have been continuing to learn how to use our times table facts to help us solve division calculations.  We have also been trying to practise our mental maths by entering a Sumdog competition…we will find out how we all got on next week.    On Thursday we had a fantastic Sport’s afternoon.  All of the children did brilliantly and were excellent sports.  (Photos to follow)  This week we also filled our class marble jar which means  that we get to have a special treat for our class next week.  After  a vote we  decided that will would like to have  games outdoors, a picnic and some time on the kick pitch.

Primary 7 fundraising news

Our activities this morning with Primary 1,2 and 3 were very successful. Everyone enjoyed it. At Basketball all the children were very active and kept trying for the high basket.  At Golf & Games we all had fun and we hope in the future to see some of our pupils on TV! The Football group game ended in a 5-0 victory for the red team, but both teams played very well.  Dance was great fun and ended in a Dance-off as the other groups came back to the Hall.

We are delighted to announce the total amount raised (from our Coffee and Cake event and the Activites this morning) is £53.97. 

The money will be shared between P7 end of term treat and the fund for painting markings on our playground.

Thank you very much to everyone who joined in, gave money and helped us in our fundraising.  Thank you to Mrs Taylor for all the delicious baking.

P5 Weekly Blog

It has been a very busy week with a dress rehearsal and two performances on Wednesday and Thursday evening for our school show Thursday’s Child.  All of the children in P5 who were part of the show would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported them in the run up to the show.  We do hope all of the audience enjoyed watching it as much as they enjoyed doing it.  We look forward to seeing all of the pictures taken by Mrs Richardson on the Blog sometime soon. This week we have also enjoyed developing our reading skills by reading The Spiderwick Chronicles. We do hope everyone will remember to hand in their slip to give their child permission to watch this DVD as it is rated PG.  It would be a lovely end of term treat to watch the film after reading the book.

Primary 4

This week we  worked really hard to learn all our lines, make props and get things ready for our assembly.  We were quite nervous on Thursday because we didn’t think we were quite ready for an audience!  However, we all worked together and managed to perform fantastically on stage on Thursday afternoon.   Thank you to everyone who helped us and came along to watch our performance.  We hope you enjoyed it and felt that you had been on a little holiday to Australia.  Next week we are looking forward to taking part in Sport’s Day and starting a new Science mini topic all about Magnets.
