Longridge Primary School – Sharing Our Learning

PE with P3/2 and P4

On our Tuesday in PE, P3/2 and P4 will be learning how to play tennis. We talked about the equipment we use in tennis and how to be safe with them. This week, we focused on our balance and ball control, trying to balance the ball on our racket while racing.

On Thursday in PE this term we will be learning how to play benchball. This week we focused on our throwing and catching skills, practising our over head throw and chest pass. We used our communication and collaboration skills to pass the ball within our groups.

P2/1 Art

Happy New Year! P2/1 have settled in very quickly to this new term and got straight back to their learning and play. Children spent time this week creating lovely artworks of their families and homes. They combined a variety of different art techniques including oil pastels, watercolours, collage and coloured pencil. Children thought carefully about the shape and style of walls, windows and doors to best represent their home, and produced artwork that really demonstrates just how unique and special the children’s homes and families are in real life!

P6/5

This week we have started to look at information reports in writing. This has encouraged the children in O6/5 to do their own research on different topics that they are interested in. They have used their critical thinking skills to choose what to research, identify the key facts and organise their ideas.

Christmas Fun in P3/2

UNICEF Day for Change

In celebration of UNICEF’s Day for Change, we learned all about the amazing work UNICEF does to protect and promote children’s rights across the world. It was the perfect opportunity to also celebrate our World Inclusion Day competition. All children designed a logo for a T-shirt to promote inclusion. Overall the designs were outstanding, showing a mature understanding of what inclusion really means. The winning designs were made into T-shirts and presented today. Of course the winners were then desperate to model their designs!
