Good evening,
We’ve had a busy week in school preparing for the year ahead.
In assembly, we thought about our school story – the story of the Good Shepherd. Within our discussions, we thought about how every sheep in the flock mattered to the shepherd and everyone was valued. We thought about how, in Longnor, everyone matters and that is why we would like them to share their opinions and talents through committees and clubs.

Therefore, children have been thinking about which job or leadership role they would like. It has been fantastic hearing about all the new ideas for clubs and school development. We will find out on Monday who has been voted into these roles.
Well done to year six who had Bikeability this week. They have all shown fantastic respect and listened incredibly to instructions. The instructors were really impressed!
This week we have started to celebrate key individuals in their achievements. Well done to:
- Little owls and Tawny owls – Theo for settling in really well and Martha for doing her best.
- Kestrels – Ralph for joining in well with everything and Jens for a super start and trying really hard.
- Merlins – Charlie D for being a wonderful learning partner, Nancy for being really caring towards others and Darcy for a wonderful positive attitude towards learning.
- Eagles – Rose for being a fantastic, respectful member of the class and Sia for her enthusiasm towards all of her work.
We all hope that you have a lovely weekend.
Mrs L. Edgerton
