Our extra curricular opportunities started this week with our first science club. In our first experiment, we created a chemical reaction which produced a gas, causing the test tube lid to pop right off!
Afterwards we learned about the science of bubbles. We had so much fun creating giant bubbles!
We were able to do some cool tricks with bubbles. Have you ever seen bubbles inside other bubbles? Did you know you can put your hand inside a bubble without popping it? You’ll have to ask our little scientists how it’s done!
The children enjoyed another cooking lesson with Alex from Fauldhouse Community Development Trust and soup was on the menu this week! It was a fantastic opportunity to develop skills in chopping as well as learning how to bring a liquid to boiling.
What an amazing bunch of children we have at Longridge Primary school. It is always a pleasure to hear about their achievements and successes. This month our Head Teacher Awards were awarded to the following children and they enjoyed their hot chocolate treat!
Our Wider Achievement certificates were awarded for talents in dancing, boxing and swimming, amongst others.
Finally, our golden coin winners who have shown excellent progress in literacy this month are below.
In true Longridge Primary School fashion, the children were supportive of their peers and siblings, showing pride and kindness to each other.
We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Fauldhouse Community Development Trust who have kindly offered such wonderful opportunities for our learners. The children experienced a lesson with a football coach and a chance to take part in a Little Chefs cooking class.
The children learned how to make pancakes, it was great fun although eating them was even better!
It has been a pleasure to have our first Celebration Assembly of the school year and what a talent bunch of learners we have here at Longridge Primary.
First up were our very special Head Teacher Awards, these children were nominated by their class teachers to receive awards and were invited enjoy a hot chocolate with Mr McNaughton & Mrs Murray.
Next we had our wider achievement awards. Thank you to the parents and carers who completed the form to let us know about these wonderful achievements, we had awards for effort and achievement in horse riding, dancing, swimming and football as well as talents in music amongst other amazing achievements!
Next our golden coins were awarded to two learners. Our P6 learner was awarded this for promoting a love for reading and our P2 learner was awarded this for progress in writing! They enjoyed spending their golden on a book of their choice at our vending machine.
Finally our monthly Languagenut Champions were awarded their certificates.
Congratulations to all of our learners on another wonderful week at Longridge Primary and an extra special well done to our award winners!
