Eagles DT Workshop

Good afternoon everyone, I wanted to invite you all to join us from 1.30 until 3.00, on Wednesday 8th November, for our DT afternoon. The children have been designing their own bridge to replace the bridge over Cound Brook. They have discovered and tested different types of trusses and beams for their design. In the morning, the children will be designing their bridge ready to make a prototype for the afternoon. It would be lovely for family members to join us in this session and help the children build their prototype. Please let me know if you are able to attend. Thank you Mrs Lewis

Bikeability – Year 6

Next week is Bikeability week. Letters have been sent home with your child today. Please can you complete the letter and return it to school.

Recorder Lessons

Dear Parents,

Recorder Lessons

We are now able to offer recorder lessons on Tuesday afternoons during school hours to children in Year 2 onwards. Mrs Lewis will be teaching the lessons in groups and they will be free of charge.

The lessons will start on Tuesday 17th October. Places are not limited for recorder lessons as they will be taught in small groups based on your child’s ability.  In order for your child to participate in the recorder lessons they will need to bring in their own recorder and also a copy of the following book:

This book is called “Recorder Playing in Colour – Book 1 for Descant Recorders” by Brian Davey. It can be found on Amazon at the following address: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Recorder-Playing-Colour-Bk-Descant/dp/1898378002

Here is a link to a suggestion for a recorder you could buy for the lessons: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aulos-205A-Descant-Recorder-Brown/dp/B000NCEQCS

We are really looking forward to promoting music across the school and think this is a fantastic opportunity for the children to learn music and develop new skills. If you would like your child to attend these lessons, please email the school office at admin@longnorschool.co.uk by no later than Monday 16th October.
