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

 

 

Well done to the cross country team who raced along Sandbanks beach in windy conditions.  Eighteen pupils from the school took part with Jed, Jamie, Joshua M and Philip finishing as our top four boys and Charlotte, Emma, Purdy and Rebecca being our first four girls.

Longfleet travelled to St Edward’s School to participate in a multi-skills event with 5 other local schools. The activities included basketball dribbling; aiming at cricket stumps; football dribbling; netball shooting and tennis games. All of these were played in a great spirit, with the St Edward’s Sports Leaders showing a fantastic example to our children. Although not deemed competitive...Longfleet managed to pull off a victory with a mammoth 480 points. Well done to all the children involved.

Yesterday, our Windsurfing and Sailing club went for their second lesson at Rockley in Poole Park. Despite the windy condidtions, the children all did really well. The sailors practised sailing a course on a beam reach while the windsurfers practised tacking.

Tuesday was the first Longfleet Windsurfing and Sailing Club where the children are working towards their Stage 1 windsurfing or Stage 2 sailing. They had an excellent time developing their skills at the Rockley centre in Poole Park. They showed our school values of resilience and asipiration and are looking forward to next week's session!

We enjoyed the beautiful weather at Rockley today! The children took part in the watersports activities that they didn’t try on Wednesday. These included windsurfing, paddle boarding, kayaking and sailing. 

 

We have had a brilliant week and look forward to seeing everyone on Monday!
