The Lions settled back to school really well and enjoyed starting their new topcs, science -describing animals and Geography - learning about the world and the 7 continents.
We also recapped our shape work, naming, describing and sorting 3D shapes.
Dont forget to complete a project which will be shared on parents evenings, coming up later this half term. They can be last half terms learning, the seasons, Longton or this half terms learning,outlined on the attached subject organiser for Spring 1.
I have attached some badges for you to complete at home too, book worm, bake off and scientist. Complete the tasks and return to school for me to check and tick off. You can then order your badge at the office.
A big thank you from myself and Mrs Regan for our lovely Christmas gifts, we both feel very spoilt and it is not expected but much appreciated, so thank you very much.

Thank you so much for the hard work and time put into the presentations. The Lions have enjoyed talking and sharing their special things and they have done a fantastic job! The year five buddies were also invited to come and watch and they have loved hearing more about the Lions. We still have two more days of presentations and we are looking forward to them!
We found a great way to cool down today in class and an ice pop definitely helped!
Tomorrow is looking like it will be a little cooler so we are hoping to go outside for some water play. Please send a carrier bag into school containing a towel, shorts, t shirt, old pumps and spare underwear. (The shorts, t shirt and pumps will be getting wet)
Children should wear school uniform and sun hat for school.

Eco Team / School Parliament., by Mrs Thomson
Date: 17th Jul 2022 @ 11:06am
Tomorrow afternoon the Lions will be visiting Mrs. Pratten and the year one classroom. In year one your child will have the opportunity to be on the school Eco Team and the School Parliament Team.
If your child would like to be considered for either opportunity they are welcome to bring a poster or picture to show in year one tomorrow and tell Mrs. Pratten and the children in class any good ideas they have and why they would like the role.
Eco Team - Each class will have their own Eco Warriors who represent their tribe and their tribes views on all things Eco-friendly. Our Eco team consists of two children from each year group. We strive to be eco conscious and environmentally aware at Longto Primary School.
Our School Parliament consists of two children from each year group. The two children that get the most votes are the School Parliament representatives for the whole year. Their role includes being a voice for their class and relaying concerns, wants, needs of the class to their teachers.
