Hello there! A short week for us here at Longhaugh Primary school as the school is shut Thursday and Friday to pupils for staff in-service training.

We learned our last sound this week. The sound is ‘ar‘. The action for ‘ar’ is to open your mouth as if the doctor is looking at your throat and say, ‘ar,ar,ar,ar,ar’.

                             

We have learned a total of 39 sounds! Can you believe that? We think we are pretty amazing managing to learn all those sounds already!!

We have also been looking at the alphabet this week. We know that letters have a sound and a name. Now that we have learned all our Jolly Phonic sounds we are learning all the names of their matching capital letters. We have been singing alphabet songs to help us remember.

              

We were working again this week with Luke. He’s been helping us to use the number tracks and number lines He’s also been helping us to count on 2 more and 3 more.

              

As it was Bonfire Night on Monday we talked about what we would do/not do to keep ourselves safe if we went to see the bonfire and fireworks displays. We also made our own rockets and firework pictures.

  

 

This Sunday is Rememberence Sunday. We won’t be at school that day but we talked about the men and women we will be remembering, why we wear a poppy and what a poppy represents. A few of us in school had family and friends who have served or are serving in the armed forces. We all agreed it was very important to remember all the men and woman who had died serving their country.
