Longford Park Primary School

A HUGE WELL DONE!!!!

As a school, we have been awarded the GOLD School Games Mark! 🏆🏅🥇🌟

A big thank you to Mrs Mozley (our PE lead) for supporting our amazing staff and school to achieve this award.

We are incredibly proud of the PE lessons, extra-curricular offer including clubs, competitions and opportunities above and beyond the school day which we provide for our pupils.

A huge thank you also to our families who encourage their children to step out of their comfort zones and grab each opportunity with both hands!

This is something we are thrilled to share with you all 🌟🌟🌟

Year 2 headed off to Longford Park to identify different plants in our local environment as part of their science project.

They used the ’seek’ app to help them to identify the different species.

Well done for taking your learning beyond the classroom Year 2 and thank you for scanning the QR code to earn us some more points 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

OFF SITE VISIT

Year 2 have been learning about ‘coastlines’ in their Geography project.

What better way to apply all that knowledge and learning than by visiting the beach!

For some children, this was their first experience of playing on the sand and dipping their toes in the sea. They also visited the RNLI station for a tour, explored the beach huts along the front and had not only seaside fish and chips but delicious ice creams too 😋😋😋

Thank you to Mrs Moore and the Year 2 team for organising and to all the other staff and family members who helped to make the visit possible 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

ART & DESIGN 🎨🖌️

Year 5 have been enjoying their Art project ‘Nature’s Art’ - especially in the beautiful weather!

They’ve used natural resources to design their own eneeds product and I think you’ll agree that they look fabulous!

Very unique and great to be taking learning beyond the classroom.

CELEBRATE

Last weekend, our fantastic Year 4 class were treated to a sleepover at school. This was a reward for their amazing hard work this year, especially with the multiplication check prep.

This evening also supports our children with getting ready to spend time away from their family on their residential visit later on in their school life.

Children enjoyed team building games and activities, s’mores and songs around the campfire, made pizzas for dinner and enjoyed a movie.

They were impeccably behaved and had a really enjoyable evening.

Thank you to Mr Hunt for organising and to the staff who made the event possible by giving up their free time 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

ASPIRATIONS WEEK

A couple of weeks ago, we successfully held an Aspirations Week at school, welcoming a plethora of visitors to tell children all about the career possibilities they could embark on when they’re older.

From the army and police to local businesses, Cadent Gas, microbiologists, charity workers and engineers- there was something to interest everyone.

Lots of our children were inspired over the week, with some deciding to change their future aspirations.

A huge thank you to all of our visitors for your time and efforts 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

REFUGEE WEEK

Longford Park Primary School Welcomes!

At Longford, we welcome people from a wide variety of different cultures into our school community and we are incredibly proud of the vibrancy this brings to all aspects of school life.

As part of Refugee Week this year, we have used the theme ‘home’ to design art work across the school from Nursery to Year 6, which represents what home means to our children.

This work is currently on display on our school fence to celebrate with the wider community.

Well done Longford! Well done for demonstrating some of our key values including teamwork, support and respect!

It’s been a busy week for History and visits! A huge thank you to all of the adults who have driven minibuses and supported these visits to make these experiences possible 🥰🥰

Year 4 visited the Leicester Museums & Galleries on Tuesday as part of their learning about Ancient Civilisations- focusing on Egypt. They examined real mummified bodies, explored artefacts from 3000 years ago and also looked at other exhibits linking to their learning in Science and Geography.

The children were so excited to share lots of learning with us back at school!

As part of their History project ‘Groundbreaking Greeks’ Year 5 visited the Ashmolean Museum this week to find out more about the Ancient Greeks, explore artefacts and have a tour of the museum. They have applied their learning from the classroom, remembering lots of facts and information. Well done Year 5!

This week in Science, Year 6 were learning all about the different parts of a heart in the best way possible…by dissecting one! A lamb or sheep’s heart is very similar to that of a human on in size.

The children tackled the investigation with resilience and a strong stomach! Well done Year 6, i enjoyed talking to you about your learning in this lesson and am proud of those of you who were put off at first but got stuck in!

In Science in Year 5, children have been learning about Earth and Space. They have been exploring the distance between planets by creating a demonstration in the outdoor classroom which is relative to measurements. Great teamwork Year 5!

In History this week, Year 3 discovered the burial site of the Amesbury Archer, an important source of evidence about life in the Bronze Age. They explored the artefacts and different sources from the grave to make decisions on what we could find out about the life of the Amesbury Archer. The children also recreated the burial site using different materials back in the classroom ✨
