CRICKET

Year 5 have been loving their cricket lessons! Our new playground zones have come in really handy for helping with bowling and batting practice so we don’t lose too many balls!

YEAR 4

Year 4 have been very busy using their DT skills and History knowledge in their Forest School sessions.

They made Egyptian flatbread, cooked it on the fire (after building it using fire lays they learnt in Year 3) and then of course eating it by candlelight.

They even got some writing into their learning! What a busy afternoon!

OUTDOOR CLASSROOM DAY

At Longford, we value the importance of learning beyond the classroom and the impact this has on both the physical and mental well-being of our children (and staff)

Whilst learning away from the classroom is built into our curriculum daily, we went even further on Outdoor Classroom Day on 7th November to extend learning away from the classroom walls.

From Maths retrieval activities to phonics, virtual ballet lessons to cricket, reading for pleasure sessions in the library to a park visit, there was a really lovely buzz around school and the children thoroughly enjoyed their day 😊 Council for Learning Outside the Classroom

In collaboration with Royal Ballet And Opera key stage two pupils took part in an online opera lesson. The professional singers were amazing! We learnt about the conventions of opera and had a go at warming up our voices just like opera singers before singing a song.

Our Key Stage 1 pupils took part in an online ballet lesson hosted by Royal Ballet And Opera

Children were shown props and backstage areas as well as how lighting transforms a performance.

They were then shown some very famous ballet performances before being invited to join in with learning some of the moves.

We were all very impressed- well done KS1! Council for Learning Outside the Classroom
