Christmas is coming!

We have had an extremely busy week catching up on the things we missed due to the school being closed. We are back working hard but our playground is still very, very snowy!

We learned one more sound this week, the ‘x’ sound. We all had great fun pretending to take an ‘x-ray picture’, the action for this sound.

Santa’s workshop has come to P1 and Santa left us a letter asking us to design lots of toys to help him out at Christmas. He also told us we were all on the ‘nice’ list. Phew!!

In room 6 we’ve been decorating Santa’s tree but we must remember to put the decorations on using a pattern. We’ve also been practicing setting Santa’s Christmas table. It’s tricky to remember where everything goes!

We’ve also been very busy making lots of craft to sell at our Christmas fayre. P1A have been making tree decorations and P1B have been making Christmas stockings.

  

We made angel cards to take home.

 

As the playground and streets are still very snowy and icy, it makes it too difficult for us to walk and visit the community. So we had a very,very special visitor this week. Santa came to Longhaugh Primary School! It was lovely to see him and we all promised we would try and be especially well behaved and he gave us a gift.

  

Even though we have been so busy making all our Christmas craft and rehearsing for our show, ‘The Grumpy Sheep’, every day, we have also been using our Ladybird maths box. This week we have been working hard making 5 and making 6.

One thought on “Christmas is coming!”

  1. Hello to all the boys and girls in Primary 1.

    My name is Miss George and I work at Dens Road Primary School and I have had a great time looking at your blog. I am impressed at how much you are learning, especially your Jolly Phonics Sounds! My favourite action is to ‘g’ and I know adults like the action and sound ‘sh’.
    I look forward to reading your blog again and seeing what you have been learning. Well done!!
