Sharing Our Learning
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!
P6/5 have been exploring the health and wellbeing indicator ‘Safe’. We have been looking at how to spot peer pressure and different ways we can stay safe from peer pressure. We used our communication and collaboration skills to work together to create posters sharing information about peer pressure and staying safe. The pupils came up with some great ways to avoid peer pressure including “always be yourself”.
P6/5 have started their first genre of writing this year. Learners will read and write descriptive pieces this term. This week the children wrote their ‘cold piece,’ (a chance to demonstrate what they know already about writing descriptions). This is a great way to identify strengths and areas for improvement and to track progress over the next few weeks. The children are looking forward to ‘bumping up’ their work as they learn how to include more descriptive words and phrases in their pieces. This week they enjoyed writing about a popular film character.
It wasn’t quite the outdoor event we had planned but we had a great afternoon regardless of the weather! The children had fun competing for house points, their enthusiasm and sportsmanship was outstanding as always. Thank you to our wonderful teachers and parent volunteers who helped to make this event a success.
