A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS

On the 28th Feb, 8th March and 20th March we will be counting the number of children, staff and parents who cycle or scoot to school. Our results are logged with the national Big Pedal event and we will be given a place in the race!

This week we were looking at every child’s right to play. We played two games, ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?’ and Chocolate Bar. On Friday at break time we went to the other classes and showed them how to play these games. It was lots of fun and we are going to learn more games and teach other classes how to play them.

You all have the next 3 weeks to create a model of the Titanic. You can choose to use any materials but it must be 3D.Â
Good Luck on your mission, I know you can do it!

This week we have been learning about Children’s Rights and that every child in the world has the right to an education.  We watched a clip of children in Africa and discussed how different their school was to our school. We made posters to show some of  the values of education. Then we shared what we had learned with the whole school at our Rights Respecting assembly.Â

p7 enjoyed learning about the rights of children this week and all the activities we took part in .The best part of our week was once again poetry writing!!! We wrote poems about an “ideal world” and some of them were read out at our assembly. All the staff were very impressed with them!!
This week in Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS we have been learning about children’s rights. Miss Martin has set the whole school on a job to make name collages because it shows everyone that they have the right to a name. Also we have been making little paper girls and boys. Then Miss Martin is going to display them all over the school.
Yesterday we had an assembly about children’s rights and all the classes had to do a show and tell.  Primary 6 decided to talk about wants and needs these are some of them. The needs are clean water, nutritious food, decent shelter and medical care. The wants were laptop, pet, phone, holiday, games and computer stations.

A big list for Miss McLaughlin to think about!

The sponsors of our Community Orchard have asked us to postpone the planting day once more. We are sorry to disappoint you with this news, and hope to bring news of a definite date very soon. Everyone is hoping this change of date will increase our chances of warmer (and drier?) weather…
This week we had a visit from Ewan McVicar. He told us about some of the different types of food they grow and eat in Africa.   We learned about some foods we had never heard of before like Paw Paw, Cassava and Plantain.  He also told us an interesting and exciting story about the journey of a bird migrating from Scotland to Africa. We then designed and created our own birds which were unusual and that we had never seen before. These birds will be sent to a school in Livingston in Zambia as part of The Bird Exchange project.  Below are some pictures of us creating our unusual birds.
On Monday P5 were excited to go swimming at Broxburn Leisure centre. The other exciting news is our Europe assembly which will take place on Thursday 28th of February. We are busy researching about a variety of countries for this. Please put that date into your diary as it is an event you will not want to miss!
