• Reception Learnersaur Day

  Wed 08 Jan 2020
  After following the dinosaur footprints to their classroom, the reception children had a day learning about their dinosaur themed learning skills. They made dens, created marble runs out of junk, made a protector for a dinosaur egg and explored colour using paints. These "Learnersaurs" will be used throughout their time in reception and will go home every Friday with chosen children, where they can show off their new learning skills at home!

• Year 5/6 Multi-skills

  Wed 11 Dec 2019

  Longfleet took ten children to Parkstone Grammar School to participate in a multi-skills festival. This included activities such as "skittles", tennis ball balance, cross the river and speed bounce. Each of the events was introduced by a Parkstone Grammar Sports Leader, who energised and enthused the children to do their best. Resilience was on show throughout and our children look forward to their next event representing Longfleet. 

   

  

• Year 3 and 4 Netball

  Mon 09 Dec 2019
  Our Year 3 and 4 Netball Team have had two fantastic matches recently. One against Ocean Academy and the other against Lytchett Matravers. Both matches were played with great skill and determination from all of our girls and they only very narrowly missed out on draws. We are so proud of the team spirit and great play that we saw and we can't wait for the next match!

• Year 5 Viking and Anglo-Saxon Day

  Wed 27 Nov 2019

  On Monday 25^th November, Year 5 had a lot of fun learning about the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. We learnt about battles, games, rituals and how they dressed.

   

  The activities included:

  • Battle re-enactments
  • Plays (about Viking Gods)
  • Trying on armour and holding different weapons
  • Learning about Viking and Anglo-Saxon villages
  • Exploring Viking and Anglo-Saxon artefacts

   

  We asked for comments from the Eagles…here are what some of them said:

  Neve, “It felt like we were really them.”

  Mia, “I enjoyed recreating the characters.”

  Ethan, “I enjoyed the acting.”

  James, “I loved the stories.”

• Year 3/4 Netball at Hamworthy

  Thu 21 Nov 2019

  Well done to our Year 3 and 4 netball teams who had their first matches against Hamworthy Junior School this week. Despite both teams narrowly losing, they looked very stylish and displayed some excellent footwork and defence skills. 

   

  As ever, all the children represented our school with excellent sportsmanship and are now even more motivated to improve for next time.

• New Barn Year 3

  Wed 20 Nov 2019

  Tonight we had the New Barn meeting for the Year 3 residential in April 2020. The presentation is on the Year 3 page, under Learning and then Year Group Pages.

• Remembrance Worship

  Mon 18 Nov 2019
  On Remembrance Day we held a special worship to remember those that have died or been injured whilst at war.  Wing Commander Teasdale talked to the children about why we wear poppies and what the money raised is used for.  He then led a moment of reflection.

  

• Football

  Mon 18 Nov 2019
  Congratulations to the 1st Team footballers who have been busy in recent weeks.  They have topped their initial group in the Poole and Esat Dorset League (9-aside) through beating St.Mary's 4-1 and drawing 1-1 with Oakdale.  They have also qualified for the finals of the Dorset 7-aside cup after coming second in the Poole schools' qualifying group.  As well as pleasing results, the style of football shown from the players has been reminiscent of the Dutch team of the 1970s.

  

• Year 2 Football Festival

  Mon 11 Nov 2019

  Lytchett Minster School kindly donated their 3G pitch so we could hold the rearranged festival (postponed from October). Teams from Courthill Infants and Upton Infants were also in attendance and all three schools seemed to be a good match, with excellent tackling, dribbling and passing throughout the matches. Keep your eyes peeled for a Girls’ Football Festival (with AFC Bournemouth coaches) and another larger mixed tournament coming soon.
