Welcome to the last P1 blog of this school year!

This was our last week in P1 and although we’re quite sad to be leaving our teachers, we’re quite excited about being in P2!

We’ve being tidying up our classroom and also sorting out our trays and taking home all our finished work. Even though we have been very busy we still had time for an end of year party. We iced our own biscuit (which we ate later), played some party games and had some party food and a drink of juice. It was a lovely way to end our P1 year.

I don’t know if you remember our visit to our local allotments? Well, we were invited back to see the difference in the plants and vegetables and to see how much they had grown. We saw strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, onions, beetroot, lettuce and lots of different flowers. We even saw grapes growing in one of the greenhouses. It was a lovely visit and we really enjoyed revisiting the allotments.

  

              

Well, that’s the end of our blog for this current school year. Miss Donaldson, Miss Bonnar, Mr Bluman and Mrs Lynch would like to thank everyone for all their support during P1.

We will be welcoming 30 new boys and girls in August who will be joining our Longhaugh family and we hope you will continue to support them and follow their journey .

We hope you all have a happy, safe and restful summer. See you again In August!!

Fun in the Sun in Stanley!

Hello and welcome to our penultimate blog of this school year. Where has the time gone?

We have been very busy this week. We thought it would be a good idea to put up a large wall display and decorate the outside area to welcome the new P1’s starting in August. We have been painting scenery, trees, flowers, the Three Little Pigs, the wolf. It’s looking rather good!

  

              

         

We’ve also been working on and revising patterns. We’ve been drawing patterns, making patterns with cubes, beads and pegs. We were also using active expressions.

  

              

Our most exciting thing though was our school trip! We went to Active Kids in Stanley. The P7’s came with us as part of their activity week. We had an absolute ball. We went on the trampolines,  the helter skelter, the flying fox, the fort, the crazy golf and the jelly belly. They also have animal paddocks and we saw all sorts of animals.

Piggy Sports Day

Leave a comment

Hello there! Well, we’ve had a very busy week here at Longhaugh P1.

We had our interhouse sports this week. We have 4 houses at Longhaugh Primary School, Mains, Dudhope, Claypotts and Broughty. We are all allocated a house and throughout the year we get house points for achievements, hard work and doing kind and thoughtful things etc. At the end of the school year we always have an interhouse competition. We all wear our house colours and cheer on our teams. This year, unfortunately, you can’t really see our colours as it was a rather chilly day and some of us had our coats on! We managed to have great fun though and we will find out which house won the championship next week!

              

              

We also had our whole school green trip this week. This is a trip to acknowledge all the boys and girls who have worked hard and behaved really well all year. We were all really looking forward to having a day at Camperdown Park but unfortunately the wonderful scottish summer got in the way and it rained most of the day!! Mr Munro and Mrs Jenkins didn’t want us to be disappointed so they managed to book the Odeon cinema and we all went to see The Croods. We all had a great time….thank you very much Mr Munro and Mrs Jenkins!

              

The weather started to brighten up just before lunch and we were lucky to be able to have our sports in the afternoon. We didn’t have time to get through all our races but we all did really well on the races we managed to complete.

              

             

On Friday we had our Piggy sports day with the nursery. We had been practising all the sports and we had made lots of piggy snouts ready for the nursery coming. On the day we all had our jobs to do at each station and we explained the activities and helped all the nursery boys and girls do the right thing. We had our p6 buddies there to help us with the scoring. We had a great time and at the end we all got an ice lolly. Yum!

  

  

  

As Fathers Day is this Sunday we all made cards to celebrate the dads, grandads, step-dads and uncles we have in our lives. We had to carefully colour, paint and cut out to make this fantastic card. We’re sure all the dads/grandads will love it!

Hello there and welcome back to Longhaugh Primary 1 in sunny Dundee!

We have been finishing our 4th Little Pig stories. We have finished the middle part of our story and have been working on the ending. We have completed our pictures and added our sentences.

  

In maths this week we have been recapping time and looking at digital time. We have been playing lots of time games and activities on the interactive white board. We even made a ‘human clock’ outside.

                                                 

As we have such a busy week next week we have been practising most afternoons for our piggy sports with the nursery. We are going to be leading the sports and we have been taking turns at being leaders. We have been learning the best way to explain the different activities to the nursery boys and girls and we have been practising explaining them to each other. We have also become very good at encouraging each other when we are participating in our team games!
