Friday 16th June
Good evening,
We have had another busy week in school with lots of memorable learning experiences.
Little Owls and Eagles had a brilliant trip to New Brighton. They visited the Lifeboat station and learnt about how they launch the boat in emergencies. When there, they thought about how to stay safe at the beach and played in the sand together. It was a fantastic day.
Eagle class were also lucky enough to visit Millichope Park for a countryside day. They learnt about how the farm worked and were able to ask questions about the use of the land.
Merlin class had a lovely afternoon up in Beedles Wood for their forest school. They began thinking about using tools safely and using these to build their shelters. They also looked carefully at the vegetation and were able to compare the wood to the rainforest, which is their geography topic this term.
What a busy week that was!
Have a lovely and safe weekend.

Flower challenge!
We need your help!
For Longnor’s flower festival, we have been given the challenge to decorate outside the church with recycled items planted with beautiful flowers: wellies, saucepans, teapots etc. We need your help! If you are able to, we would appreciate children filling an item and bring it into school by Thursday 29th June. Many, many thanks in advance.
Chess Competition
Today four of our pupils went to St Lawrence’s Primary School for a chess competition. They joined forces with Rushbury Primary school and played incredibly well, coming 2nd! Congratulations!
New start time from September 2023
To keep in line with new guidance, we need to increase the length of our school day.
From September 2023 our start time will be 8.45am, with the gates opening from 8.35am.
Registration will be at 8:50am and registers will close at 9:00am.
Early birds will still be available from 7.45am and will have new pricing to reflect the changes.
