P2/1 had their second session with Kids Gone Wild this week, and the skills development and imagination they showed was fantastic. Children found Big-Foot tracks and rainbow fox houses in the ground, developing their talking and listening as they shared exciting ideas and discoveries. They climbed trees, rocked in hammocks and flew down a zip line, building their gross motor skills. They collaborated to take turns, build dens and create treasure trails with arrows and an ‘x’ marking the spot. But most of all, they had a fantastic, memorable day in nature together.

In celebration of Children in Need, we held a talent show today. We have a very talented bunch of learners at Longridge Primary School and a very supportive audience too!

P7/6 were learning about circuits in science this week. We can now identify the symbols that represent all the components in an electrical circuit. We drew our own circuit diagrams using these symbols and were able to identify whether or not the circuits would work based on their components. Most impressively of all we used our critical thinking skills to troubleshoot when things went wrong, identifying the cause of any problems with our circuits and suggesting solutions to fix them.

P3/2 have been learning about 2D, 3D shapes and their properties. We went on a shape hunt around our classroom and discovered many different shapes. We spoke about the different shapes we see every day in our daily life and then participated in a range of activities to consolidate our knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes.
