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.

Welcome back to our blog!

We have been so busy this week painting our shelter and preparing for our assembly next week that we have not had much time to fit anything else in!

We have, however, still managed to squeeze in our words and sounds every day and we have continued to do our reading so we can finish our books before the end of term.

We have been playing Gardening Mama and decorating her to make her look “fancy.” We have also been planting more flowers and vegetables in the Gardening Mama game.

As we said last week, Mrs Lynch’s son, Matthew, chalked out the design on our shelter and this week we have been painting it!

  

  

 Miss Simpson, Mrs Lynch and Mr Munro’s daughter Sarah, painted the high parts we couldn’t reach and all the tricky edges, but we all helped and painted the rest.

When we had finished painting, we all put our names on a corner of the wall along with the date, so in years to come other boys and girls will remember us and all our hard work.

  

I’m sure you agree that it looks fantastic!

  

 We are all looking forward to our assembly next Thursday and Mr Munro is officially going to open our splendid shelter!

As it is Father’s Day on Sunday we all made a card for our Dads, Grandads or Uncles. We coloured in a tie in a pattern and wrote a special message on the back.

  

 

Our finished Father's Day cards

On Friday the whole school was supposed to be going to Camperdown Park to celebrate all the good behaviour that the boys and girls show every day at Longhaugh Primary School. Unfortunately, the weather forecast was for rain so we all went to the cinema instead to see “Rio,”  an animated film about a blue macaw. We all went on the bus and had a fantastic time! Thank you Mr Munro and Mrs Gallacher!.
