Longfleet were the eventual winners of the inaugural "KS1 Howieson Cup" held at our school. Teams from Courthill, Sylvan, Lilliput, Old Town and an "All Star" team battled it out across group matches, semi-finals and eventually the final, which was between Longfleet and Sylvan. A great contest was eventually won by a fantastic goal by William. We look forward to the next stage of the KS1 Howieson Cup, an Athletics competition in the Summer Term. 

A massive 'well done' goes out to the 9 children who took part in the Dorset School Games Multisports Competition at Carter Community School. The children had great fun exploring different sporting activities and were an absolute credit to the school.

10 children from Mr Thurlow's Running Club took part in the PEDSSA Cross Country Competition held at the beautiful surroundings of Canford Magna School. In such a big competition (in some races there were over 60 children), Longfleet showed the skills of perseverance and teamwork to all run brilliantly. All of the children thoroughly deserved their Year 5 place certificates.  

 

 

We have purchased a fantastic revision resource for the Year 6 children to use at home. Please follow the link below:

Today Year 3/4 competed in a Netball tournament at Yarrells School. All of the games were very close with wins, draws and losses! The teams played brilliantly and got better and better as the tournament went on. We had a great afternoon and everyone should be very proud of themselves!

Should you have any concerns please contact the school direct. Kindly refrain from posting issues on the PTA’s Facebook page. Any unrelated posts will be deleted/removed. 

Reception welcomed Charlotte from Tesco Branksome who helped us learn how to make bread rolls.  Things got rather messy...!  But our bread rolls smelled wonderful once they were baked and we took them home that afternoon to enjoy with our tea.  We tasted some unusual breads such as cornbread and described the flavours and textures.  Thank you to the staff at Tesco who have been so generous with their time and resources this half term.  

Last Friday some members of the Key Stage 2 choir visited Victoria School to see the English Touring Opera perform their show called ‘Different’. Different is a brand new opera created by Key Club (a group of young adults with high functioning autism or Asperger’s syndrome). We particularly enjoyed joining in with the singing and being able to touch and play with the props. Not only was this a great first experience of opera but a wonderful opportunity to visit the staff and pupils of Victoria School. We are sure this won’t be our last visit.

Some of our Year 4 children competed in the Poole Schools Swimming Gala at the beginning of March, against 11 other schools and did the school proud. Some of the excellent results for Longfleet were:

 

Individual

25m Freestyle - Mia (2nd)

25m Backstroke - Eden (3rd)

 

Team

Girls - 2nd

Boys - 6th

Overall - 4th

 

Reception explored 'behind the scenes' on their recent visit to Tesco supermarket.  The children visited the bakery, explored the fish counter and shared their knowledge in the fruit and vegetable department.  A big thank you to all the staff at Tesco for making Reception so welcome.
