A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Well done to our talented P6 gymnasts: Eilidh, Jamie Lee and Niamh  for their fantastic display last week! They were so good perhaps we will see them at the next Commonwealth Games!
Talking of the Commonwealth Games here are some of our pictures which we hope will be picked to be entered into the competition to be displayed at the atheletes village during the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in July! Good luck everyone!
“We learned what to do when you’re being bullied from Childline” (Jordan)
“In P.E we got peer assessed and we self assessed how good we are in tennis” (Sophie)
” In maths we were finding partners for fractions and decimals” (Rebecca)
“In reading the red group were summarising and creating a new text about spiders” (Connor)
“In French we were learning how to say the weather in French for example cold – le frevo” (Shea)
This week we have been drawing pictures about all of the sports which will feature in the Commonwealth Games which will be held in Glasgow in July. We produced our best work and we hope some will be selected to appear in the athletes village. Next week we will put up some of our finished entries for you to see.
We started our football training with Greg from Broxburn United Football Club. He is helping us all to lead a healthy lifestyle by making sure we eat healthily and take regular excercise. We were doing  sit ups and wall presses to improve our personal fitness. We have been given fitness homework to help us improve our levels of fitness.
This Friday Eilidh, Jamie Lee and Niamh will be taking part in the gymnastics display which will be held at 11.45. Good luck girls!
Primary 3 finished their 5 week course today of football skills with James from Broxburn United Sports Club. During the 5 weeks, primary 3 learned the importance of being healthy and fit and also how important it is to offer encouragement to your team mates. Today all the class received medals to take home for all their hard work over the last few weeks.
Primary 3 are looking forward to an athletics session tomorrow with our P.E. specialist, Miss Pender. This is the first time they have been with her for gym and are very much looking forward to it. We are hoping for some sunshine so we can go on the kick pitch!
This week P5 enjoyed golf with Mr Bett and we will look forward to another two sessions with him. Perhaps we have another Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy amongst us! In PE we have enjoyed badminton with Mrs Pender and sadly it was our last week this week. We also learnt some new playground games so we can show all of the other classes in the playground.
We  went to a Bench Ball Festival on Monday it was awesome and we won some games.   Everyone in the class earned a certificate for being a Good Sport. We also watched a bit of The Human Calculator . He is a man who calculates big maths problems in his head! We then tried this on Mrs Dugan (who wasn’t as good) and used a calculator to check her answers.   Next week we are looking forward to taking part in World Maths Day.  Thank you to Primary 6 for showing us how to log on and use the website.

We are all looking forward to starting our new topic next week – Titanic!
Primary 6 have been learning all about bodies, bones and blood. We measured different bones in our bodies, recorded the measurements and we are going to make a line graph using the data. We made a model of the heart using plastic bottles, straws, balloons, tape, food colouring and water. It showed us how the heart pumps blood.
In reading this week we all started new books in our groups. Two groups are reading Roald Dahl and the other Michael Morpurgo.
In PE, we have been creating our own fitness routine to perform and teach Primary 4. We worked well in our teams.
