Dumming Lessons Available

Mon 30 Apr 2018 Miss Wright

There is a space for a KS2 pupil to start drumming lessons this term. The lessons are on Mondays from 4.20 - 4.40pm. There are 10 lessons per term, with our peripatetic teacher, Rob Lacey. The lessons are taught in pairs and the cost is £43 per term, per pupil. Preference will be given to children in Year 4 or 5 as they will be sharing the lesson with a Year 5 pupil. However, if you are in Year 3, good at listening and have lots of enthusiasm you could be just the right person!

If you are interested in taking up the place please contact Miss Wright or the school office. If you are interested in drumming lessons but can't do the time slot we have available please ask Miss Wright or the school office to add your name to the waiting list.

Reception began their new 'Out and About' topic with a walk around the local area. They explored the shops and roads and practised road safety. It was exciting to have a sneaky peek inside the post box when the postman arrived to empty it!

Girls' Football Festival

Tue 24 Apr 2018

Longfleet hosted a Girls' Football Festival and played games against Sylvan, Lilliput and Courthill. It was great to see the children having so much fun and Longfleet managed to score in all their games, including a 3-3 thriller against an energetic Sylvan team. Thank you to the parents of all the competing schools who made the atmosphere so friendly (yet still loud!). Keep your eyes peeled for the KS1 Athletics Festival, coming soon...

YEAR 1'S BEANSTALK SHOCK

Mon 16 Apr 2018

During the Easter holidays, a shocking incident occurred in the grounds of Longfleet Primary School. A report from the school site manager, Mr Heawood, reveals that a tremendous beanstalk came bursting through the school field, towering all the way up into the clouds above.

This dramatic incident left both himself and headteacher, Mr Helm, absolutely baffled, particularly as the mysterious beanstalk had disappeared the following morning. “In my 11 years working at this school, I have never seen anything like it! It created a terrible mess on the field and I’ve had to spend the majority of the holiday planting grass seed!” claims Mr Heawood. A further quote from Mr Helm states: “This very serious incident has left a lot of questions to be answered. I want to know everything about this beanstalk and hear from the people involved!”

The whole incident was captured on the school’s CCTV and shows the shocking moment that the beanstalk burst through the ground. Local Dorset police have been conducting enquiries and details surrounding the event are beginning to emerge. Hopefully the Year 1 children will find out more very soon!
