The Wonderful Giraffes, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 27th Jul 2016 @ 9:40pm
Well that's it! The year has come to an end. It really has flown by.
This has been an amazing year in the life of the Giraffe tribe. Every child has grown in confidence, worked hard and by believing that they can ,can ,can has shone brightly. I am proud of each and every one of them, they have truly made it very easy to get up and come into school every day.
Thank you to all of the parents and grand parents for your support throughout the year. We have made a great team !
Finally I would just like to wish you all a wonderful summer and to say thank you very much for all of your kind words and the very generous gifts . A fantastic end to a fantastic year with fantastic children.

Cooking fun!, by Mrs Pratten

The Bears enjoyed testing out their recipes this morning, we made fish stew, chicken stew, a fruit smoothie, fruit salad and fruit kebab.

Superb creativity by hippos in designing and making their own lunches. We had steak with ratatouille, pizza pops and fairy cakes. They did brilliantly well and shared with each other. Tidying up was another story but overall, they all worked hard for the group enjoyment. Thanks to mrs Thomson for her help too.

Takeover Day, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 18th Jul 2016 @ 9:40am
Today is the annual Takeover Day at Longton Primary School.
This morning the Giraffes have 5 new teachers from Year 6 Mr Green, Mr Lok, Miss John, Miss Coulthard and Miss Jusypiw. The first lesson was maths where the children used their knowledge of symmetry to create beautiful symmetrical pictures. Just before playtime the class did their mile run.
After play it was time for writing. The children were set the challenge of using adverbs to describe settings and characters. Next followed spelling where great fun was had trying to solve a very tricky word search containing le and el words.
Fllowing dinner time came art where the task was to design your own holiday home.
Thank you for a great day 😀

I've just realised that I have been adding our class blogs on the website as news over the last half term. If you wish to view, they are on the home page under the Longton Early Press area. I will ensure that they are correctly placed on the blog area from now one 😀
I added some some of the recent images for you.
