• Science Fun

  Fri 08 Nov 2019 Year 3
  We had a great time finding out about Electricity with Kinetic Kate. We became human circuits using paper to show us the batteries role in the ciruit and then Kinetic Kate had these special sphere, that lit up when we formed a circuit. This meant in our groups we held hands and as long as we keep hold og each other the light lit up. We also found that we could touch a forehead or nose to complete the circuit. My making and breaking the circuit we could send messages. We learnt alot and about electricity. At the end some of session, some of us had a 'hair raising experience'. Kinetic Kate had a Van De Graaff Generator, this machine created static electricity. So by holding both hand on the ball, meant our hair stood up on end.

• Tag to Tackle Rugby Festival

  Wed 16 Oct 2019

  Wimborne RFC hosted a brilliant festival in which children initially played Tag Rugby matches before learning the basics of tackling with qualified coaches. This culminated in some contact rugby matches towards the end. Although not deemed “competitive” due to RFU rules, the tag matches were all evenly contested, with Longfleet remaining unbeaten throughout. After a welcome hot dog and drink in the clubhouse after the festival, medals were given out to those children who showed the core values associated with Rugby. The winners were:

   

  - Phoebe Haigh

  - Digby Skinner

  - Alfie Partridge
