Buddy Collaboration

P2/1 and P7/6 have been enjoying working together. This offers younger learners support and guidance in their learning and gives older children the experience of being role models and holding responsibility. It is also a valuable social experience for all, with many lovely relationships having developed throughout the year.

P7/6 were great examples of being responsible citizens, helping to give the garden a spring tidy up and supporting P2/1 with their writing and common words. Once all the hard work was done, everyone had fun with a STEM challenge, making brilliant marble runs and showcasing our Longridge Skills of Collaboration and Critical Thinking, as they worked together to figure out how to bring their design ideas to life.

Colour Run Fun

I think pictures are worth a thousand words and these photos from our Colour Run show how special a day it was. Thank you to all of our families who came along and supported us and well done to our children who had the time of their lives. Some even said it was their best day at school ever… high praise!

More pictures coming soon…

P6/5 Teambuilding

As part of PE this term we are working our teambuilding skills.

This week we worked in small groups to cross the roaring river. There were rules we had to follow, mainly your feet couldn’t be on the ground and you had to be in contact with at least 1 other member of your team at all times.
It was great seeing all the different strategies teams used to cross the river.

We very quickly realised that communication was key.

Community Planting

P7/6 enjoyed helping to plant the hanging baskets for the community this afternoon. Look out for these around the village soon!

French Class of the Month

P2/1 were very proud this week to be awarded Class of the Month by the French Friends. This is a pupil led project, where a group of P6 and p7 linguists set the school a monthly challenge of French Phrases to practice. Each month the trophy is awarded to the class which the French Friends feel has made most progress. They then choose a new phrase for the whole school to work on, which helps us all to keep French vocabulary in our everyday routines. Trés bien!
