A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Primary 4 have been confident individuals by using tone, pace and gesture to perform poems linked to their book study topic in front of a whole class audience.
They have also been successful learners by creating t-shirt designs for Children in Need. Here are some of their designs.
As part of Book Week Scotland Primary 2 received their Read, Write, Count bags. As a class we read the book the Biggest story and used this as inspiration to try and write our own imaginative stories. We were confident individuals when playing the game act it out where one person would act out an animal, object or sport and the rest of the class had to try and guess what it was.
To celebrate children in need today we took part in the live Joe Wicks work it out quiz and workout where we had to work out the answers to 20 general knowledge questions and act out the answers. We managed to get all of the questions right but we were very tired by the end of it!!
This week Primary 1 have been effective contributors, working together in groups to design and construct a castle using wooden blocks. We were practising our teamwork and communication skills to share the blocks and build together. We were also able to talk about the different features of our construction and the shapes we had used.

Today we dressed up or down for Children in Need. We discussed how the charity helps children and designed our own Pudsey Bear faces.
We also received Bookbug bags and had the opportunity to explore the contents with our peers. We read Inch and Grub together as a class, making predictions about what we thought might happen next.
This week, Primary 3 were given their ‘Read, Write, Count’ bags.
They are always a lovely resource for the children to receive and this year is no exception!
Each bag contains:

Today we took part in various activities to show our support of Children in Need.
We learned about the history of Children in Need through a literacy based task, which provided us with the knowledge to create a quiz for our classmates and adults at home.
During our smart start, we were given the opportunity to create a t-shirt in support of Children in Need where we were able to show our creativity.
We took part in a Dance-a-thon alongside Primary 7 pupils using our outdoor area. We enjoyed showing off our dance moves. We were lucky enough to have our very own judge helping us score some of the dances too!
Another fantastic week of learning in Primary 6, topped off with some fun to help an amazing charity!
Well done!
Primary 1’s were given their Bookbug bags today and P2 received their Read,Write,Count bags as part of Book Week Scotland.
The P1 books are Arb The Lion and Inch and Grub. The P2 Â children have The Bug Collector and The Biggest Story.
All the boys and girls had great fun exploring their book bags together and trying out some of the fun activities in the bags.
This week P5 have been showing how they are successful learners as they have demonstrated a good understanding of their class novel. The Nowhere Emporium by Ross MacKenzie, through a variety of activities.
A fitting way for us to finish our learning about WW2. We made our own poppies for Remembrance day. We wore them to go and lay a wreath at the memorial in Pumpherston. We walked from the school to the memorial on a beautiful sunny morning to lay the wreath from the school. We spent some time there thinking about the soldiers who had given their lives for us. We also had a minute silence in remembrance of all lives lost from WW1 until today, in conflict.
P4 have been successful learners by demonstrating their problem solving skills. They were each given a different word problem to solve and used their knowledge of multiplication and division strategies to solve them. They also remembered to answer in a sentence.
This week we completed various activities relating to Remembrance Day.
The whole school took part in a one minute silence, which provided an opportunity to reflect and remember all those who fought for our country. To remember the soldiers who have died in the wars both past and present.
We were set a challenge to create a piece of artwork that would convey a message about this important day in history. We used pupil choice to select one of the following options, which focused on using a range of different art techniques:
