Welcome back to the penultimate P1 blog of 2010/2011!

This week we were counting with Luke and his lily pads. We have been counting from 0 – 10 and from 0 – 20. We then went on to counting in 10’s with King Frog!

As you will know, our school garden is looking lovely and we have been waiting for our strawberry plants to grow and ripen. Well, this week our strawberries were ready and we picked and ate them. It was lovely eating something we had planted and grown ourselves!

On Thursday afternoon, we performed our assembly to our families and the whole school. It went very well indeed. All the speakers spoke slowly and clearly and Mr Munro commented on how much he enjoyed it.

 After the assembly we went into our playground with our families and Mr Munro officially opened our lovely, brightly painted shelter.

We had our inter house challenge this week. The whole infant department got together and we split up into our houses and coloured in banners ready to wave and cheer on our teams.

Longhaugh primary School has 4 houses, Mains, Dudhope, Claypotts and Broughty. They are named after castles in the local area. We all sat in our teams and we wore team colours. Red for Mains, green for Dudhope, yellow for claypotts and blue for Broughty. We did an obstacle course and the teams all had p1’s, p2’s and p3’s in them. We don’t know who won yet as it is going  to be announced at our prize giving!
