Hi there and welcome back to our blog!

It’s all go here in P1 at Longhaugh Primary School and we’re constantly learning and discovering new things.

We learned another 4 sounds this week, they were ‘l’, ‘f’, ‘b’ and ‘ai’. Our favourite Jolly Phonics action was ‘l’ where we pretend we are licking a lolly…..yum!

               

               

We have been continuing with lots of sounds games and activities.

  

We’ve been re-capping our numbers to 10 this week and we will continue to do that but we also looked at pattern. We walked around our class rooms looking to spot different patterns. We sorted out patterns on the interactive white board and we copied patterns using beads and cubes. We even made some patterns of our own. We’re on the lookout for all sorts of patterns, I wonder how many we’ll be able to find?

              

  

In our topic work this week we were looking at the characters in our stories. We looked at what makes a good character and what makes a bad character. Our teacher gave us a character and we listened to the story and we had to shout out a phrase when we heard our characters name.

We have also been thinking about the role play areas in our class rooms and what we would like to see there and what we would need to make it. P1a have been making Captain Hook’s pirate ship and thinking about all the things a pirate ship needs. P1B and P1c have made a castle in their class rooms and had to think what a castle looked like and what a castle needs to make it look like a castle. We had to do a lot of thinking!! This was definately an ‘extra hard thinking’ week!!
