We all did our part, to bring to you, our own recording of "Jack and the Flumflum Tree"

On Friday 26th May, the whole school enjoyed a special service at St. Mary's Longfleet to mark Pentecost - the church's birthday. We celebrated with songs, prayers and games and thought about what it means to be part of the Christian community, both locally and globally.

The Sports Ambassadors were delighted to collaborate with Victoria School again this week and, this time, the students from Victoria visited us at Longfleet School.  Our Sports Ambassadors continued to practise their leaderships skills, with the support of the students from Victoria, and invited 18 children from across our school to take part in a number of new sporting activities. The children learnt how to play Boccia, Floor Cricket and Kurling and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.

On Tuesday, friends and family of Year One joined us to make some British landmarks using junk modelling.  We were all so impressed with the creativity and resourcefulness of everybody.  We had great fun!  Can you recognise some of the landmarks? 

A few of us were lucky enough to head off to Poole Park on Monday to enjoy a beautiful morning of sunshine.  We climbed trees, made daisy chains, fed the ducks and the fish and played games.  A thoroughly enjoyable time was had by all!

A huge thank you to the wonderful group of mums, grandmas and sister who helped to begin to clear and regenerate the pond and eco garden area.  The weather was absolutely beautiful and the grown ups and children worked so hard!  Any further offers of help to continue this project are greatly appreciated and you are welcome anytime! 

Longfleet took a Year 5/6 team to Poole Grammar School to play in a tournament against 5 other schools. Longfleet improved as the tournament progressed, and with some excellent catching and tight bowling, managed to restrict the scoring of the opposition. Longfleet eventually finished 2nd in their group, a great effort for a team who had never played competitive cricket before.

On the first morning of Family Week, we promoted friendship and co-operation within our school community when the Year 6 children taught younger children different games and activities that they had designed. The children thoroughly enjoyed teaching Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 but some were exhausted afterwards!

On the first day of Family Week, Jaguars (Y6) spent the afternoon at Poole Park sketching the scenery and collecting inspiration for our 'local attractions' trolley float. 

We hope you can come and see our finished trolley during Friday's Family Picnic and parade!

Longfleet's "Lionesses" took to the County Ground at Hamworthy Football Club to showcase their skills. For many it was their first taste of football matches against other schools and all the girls should be proud of their efforts. The event, created by the FA, included 10 teams, so the girls managed to play in 9 matches overall.
