Date: 6th Mar 2020 @ 11:21am
This world book day most people came in and science or space themed outfits to fit with our whole school year theme of moon landings. We loved the fact that most people went with the principle of it is the thought that counts not the cost of the outfits - very eco! Luckily, our school is very creative and we have seen some amazing ideas for the theme. Today we have also included another whole school write,starting in year six all the way to reception and seeing what wonderful story writing can be comprehended into it! At the end of the day we will have a big assembly and read through the excellent work we have created.

Meeting famous author Liz Kessler, by Mr Pearson
Date: 3rd Mar 2020 @ 7:46pm
Today we had the priviliage of million copy author Liz Kessler come to school to speak to us about how she plans and writes her books. We were all given inspiration for our own writing and learnt how Liz gets her ideas for her stories, although going to Bermuda to research a book like she did, might be costly!!
She then answered a range of interesting questions from the children and went on to personally sign copies of her Emily Windsnap series of books.
Another fantastic opportunity for our fabulous children at Longton Primary.
