Blog for Monday 7th Oct 2013-10-04
We were really pleased to hear that Declan won second prize for the Bake Off Competition last week.
This week Ben Salvin was elected as our Pupil Council Representative.
We all enjoyed being out and about in Pumpherston this week doing our litter pick. We enjoy helping in our community.
Next week is parent’s night so we are all looking forward to hearing our good reports.
Due to prior commitments of the NETS team and their equipment, the new date for the Community Litter pick will be Wednesday 2nd October. Please contact the school office if you would be able to join us on a walk around our community to pick up any litter and make Pumpherston and Uphall Station clean and tidy. Join Us! 
Our big Autumn Litter pick, out in the villages of Pumpherston and Uphall Station, will take place next Thursday morning(Sept 19th). We would like to have as many of our friends and families taking part as possible – if you have an hour or so to spare come and join in with the classes as they tidy up the local area.The first groups will leave the school at 9.15am.
We’ll be out and about on the streets and in the parks. Members of WLC NETS team will be with us to give training, lend equipment and hand out the bright yellow vests we wear to show we’re all Keeping Scotland Beautiful. If you can help please contact the office and we’ll match you up with a group on the day. Thank you!
Primary 1 had lots of fun during Eco Week! We designed our own planters and then spruced up the ones by the kickpitch! We pulled out the weeds and planted new seeds! We also went on a Spring Litter Pick – you can see how much we collected in the photo! We also helped the team on Friday to plant apple and plum trees for our orchard. We can’t wait to see the trees grow.
Primary 6 have been very busy in our first week back at school.
We have been finishing our newspaper reports about the Titanic. We realised that we were writing them on the 101st anniversary of the Titanic sinking. We are going to make them look old by using coffee and tea to stain the paper.
In maths some people were learning about improper and mixed fractions. We like it because we do lots of different activites to help us learn.
We had an eco challenge to find out which are the tastiest apples and pears and which ones grow in Scotland. We tasted a range of varieties and collected data about our classes favourites. We presented our data on a graph using apple and pear designs.
P6 and P7 went down to Uphall Station Park to give it a spring clean from litter. We think we did a great job!
Have a nice weekend!
