A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
This week, Primary 5 have been learning about racism and the serious impact it has on victims and their families. We read about the sickening story of Antony Walker and were shocked to find out how he was treated. We wrote letters to his family to share how their story made us feel and our hopes for the future. We hope that all people learn about the impact of their actions and how dangerous and upsetting racism can be.
This week, Primary 2/1 started looking at early skills for division.
We learned that quantities can be ‘broken up’ by sharing or grouping. We explored how to share/group using counting materials and then began looking at how we could use jottings/pictures to do this too.
All classes will have a ‘Sharing the Learning’ event on Friday morning at 11.20. We would love to see you there!
Check in with us again next week to see what else we have been up to!

Our class enjoyed their trip to Broxburn Academy this week to take part in a STEM event. We got to use Bunsen burners, create an O-Wing and make a Fizz Pop Rocket.
Following parents evening, I have created a grid of topics we have covered this term across different areas of the curriculum. This grid will provide extra learning for at home to further support their in class learning.
All children have accessed their logins today so should have this information available.
Thank you for your continued support,
Miss Walkingshaw
This week, 18th-24th March is Neurodiversity Celebration week.
The Pupil Council and Inclusive Schools groups have explored neurodiversity and been investigating ways in which our school supports neurodiverse learners.
The link below takes you to the Neurodiversity Celebration week website. There are some great videos here that explain neurodiversity (e.g. autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD) in more detail. There are also lots of resources available to support parents/carers.

This week, Primary 2/1 celebrated World Book Day!
We explored one of the World Book Day £1 books, ‘Charlie McGrew & the Horse that he Drew’ by Rob Biddulph. The story follows Charlie, a little boy who isn’t able to have his own pet, so draws one instead! The book is interactive and encourages children to add their own drawings – I think it would be a great use of the £1 book token!
In the spirit of the story, we created our own pet horses, some of which you can see below.
Congratulations to Murray, who was awarded his own copy of the story to take home and enjoy!
Check in with us again next week to see what else we have been up to!
