Hello! Welcome to Longhaugh Primary P1 blog.

We have learned another 2 sounds this week. Our new sounds are ‘y’ and ‘x’.

  

The action for ‘y’ is to lift your hand to your mouth as if you are pretending to eat yoghurt with a spoon and say ‘yyyyy’. The action for ‘x’ is to pretend you’re holding an x-ray gun and say ‘xxxxx’.

              

Our teachers introduced us to the ladybird maths box this week This box helps us with our addition. We had our blank ladybird sheets and we also had playdough. We made spots out of the playdough for our ladybirds and then we added both sides together to find our how many spots the ladybird had all together. We then wrote our sum on our white boards. We know how to do this as our teachers have been talking to us about the + sign and the = sign.

In the Land of Me this week we received another letter. This time it was from Granny Olive! Granny Olive is a turtle and she reads stories. We visited the Land of Me and we listened to Granny Olive telling us a funny adventure story about Buddy Boo, Willow and Eric. It was very exciting!

 Granny Olive!

We’re starting to get ready for all the activities that we have planned for Christmas. We are rehearsing for our Christmas show and we have been learning all the songs and all our lines. We have also been designing tickets and programmes for the show.

We started to make our Christmas craft ready to sell at our Christmas Fayre.

              

We have also been writing out price tickets to put on all the gifts ready to sell at our Christmas shop. We have been painting Santa and the elves with Mrs Lynch, ready to decorate our shop and printing paper to make gift wrap ready to wrap all the presents that the other boys and girls are going to buy from our shop! Phew!!!

              

  

We also have a P1 display to make for our Assembly Hall. This year each class or stage have to make a picture about a Christmas song. We have chosen ‘When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney!’

                             

As you can see we have been very busy indeed and this will continue right up to the end of term!
