A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
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!

This morning, Primary 3 and Primary 6 children buddied up to read a favourite story together. They enjoyed a delightful morning of shared reading.
To celebrate world book day Primary 3/2 made bookmarks out of old books.
We also tuned into Authors Live with Sarah Bowie and she showed us how to draw some characters from her book Nina Peanut is amazing.
In Science, Primary 1 have been learning about The Senses. Here is a photo of us on our Senses field walk.
We talked about and drew pictures of our favourite things to see, hear, touch, taste and smell.
H – I love to hear birds singing.
E –Â IÂ love to touch Millie my dog. She is fluffy.
A-Â I like to taste cheese sandwiches.
H _ I love to see my Mummy, Daddy and my little sister.
M – I like to smell flowers,
Primary 3 were set the task to recycle used books for World Book Day! They made bookmarks out of recycled books. Primary 3 created their own bookmarks by carefully cutting an old page into the shape they wanted. They could customise their stick in any way they desired to make it unique. They made such a fantastic job!
Primary 3 are excited to use them the next time they read!
Many thanks to all of the parents/carers who joined us on Wednesday for our class assembly – I really appreciate you taking the time to come!

Our Primary 6 girls attended a girls only football festival this afternoon at Deans Community High School.
There were 6 teams taking part in the festival from across West Lothian. We played 5 games in total and ended up joint winners with Bankton Primary School.
The girls were a credit to the school and themselves! Thank you to everyone at Deans Community High School for organising the event.
Well Done Pumphy!!!
Just a short message to remind parents/carers that the Primary 2/1 assembly will take place on Wednesday 28th February at 2.30pm. We really hope that you can join us!
Many thanks,
Miss M 🙂
