A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
 This week we have been learning about Time. We made a list of all the ways we use time everyday and some children went on a Time Devices Treasure Hunt.  We have also started to learn about our new topic Food Glorious Food. We made a shopping list of all our favourite foods which made us feel a bit hungry!
Remember to wear your watches and look at the clock to help you use what you have learned in class this week.

This week we built a house for the Three Little Pigs. We had to make bricks for the walls, make a tablecloth, made a cooking pot for the wolf and made him. We also made pictures of the Three Pigs and nameplates for them. We decided to call them Campbell, John and Andrew. Peek into our room to have a look 🙂
P1m out!
This week we have been learning about time. We learned that in the past people used the sun to tell the time. We learned that there are 12 numbers on a clock face and how to tell the time using o’clock. Next week we want to learn about digital time on digital clocks.Â
We had fun making up silly sentences using rhyming words.  The funniest one was
The flat bat flew on a cat.
If you can make a funnier one tell us what it is.
Have a great week learning from P1a
Primary 3 have been researching this week about the Nile in Ancient Egypt. We found out lots of interesting facts. In Art we used a range of materials to design our own Nile in a shoe box!
In Primary 5 this week we have been rehearsing for our Scots afternoon for the Senior Citizens.  We have been rehearsing two poems: The Puddock by John M Cale and Tae  A Moose by Robert Burns.  Also we have been practising our Scottish Country Dancing and we hope to present the Virginia Wheel aswell.  Thank you for reading!

We have been learning about the rules for Kosher food, the food that is allowed for Jewish people, in our RME lessons.
 Can anyone find a ‘Kosher’ badge on a food packet, jar or can? Look in your cupboards – or have a good look around when you’re at the supermarket helping with the shopping! If you find one, tell us where!
For a reminder of the Kosher rules, try this website: http://www.chabad.org/kids/article_cdo/aid/926235/jewish/What-is-Kosher.htm
Primary 5 have been linking RME and Science this week as we learned about Evolution as an explanation of how life began on Earth. We watched an animation which showed some dinosaurs with feathers, and explained how there are some birds in the world today that can’t fly, but have other talents which make them the best birds for their habitat.
Thank you to Ellie for helping to sum up the learning this week.
We thought about the kiwi in particular – can anyone tell me where kiwis live? Can P5 remember what the kiwi is good at?
The Pupil Council met on Thursday and it was a pleasure to welcome reps from Primary 1, 2 and 3 for the first time. Josh, Natasha, Sophie and Ella are going to be a great help to the Pupil Council. At the meeting all of the Pupil Council reps shared their thoughts and ideas and were a credit to the classes they represent. We have another meeting planned in February when the Pupil Council reps are going to help prepare an assembly for the whole school. Some Pupil Council reps will also be busy in the next few weeks helping our support staff choose some new resources for the playground.
This week Primary 1m have been looking at symmetry.
We looked at butterflies and saw they have symmetrical wings. We made our own butterflies using paint. We also went around the school to look at reflections of things. We also used play-dough to make symmetrical faces. We made patterns and used mirrors to reflect them.
Til next week…
