Year 6: The Tigers: Blog items
Sports For Schools Event , by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 24th May 2016 @ 2:17pm
This morning we welcomed Tony our sportivator and GB diver James Denny into school. The first part of the morning was spent with each class completing their circuit challenge. It was an amazing sight seeing every child exercising with a huge smile. The atmosphere in the hall was electric! Our fantastic sports leaders helped to run the event and they did an amazing job.
Once all of the circuits were complete we had an assembly. James spoke about his journey to becoming a Team GB diver. He talked about effort and positive thinking. He also told the children lots of interesting facts about his sport. It was great to get the chance to see the silver medal he won at the 2014 Commonwealth competing with Tom Daly in the 10m synchronised event. James also demonstrated how to do a back somersault and a handstand on the edge of the stage.
It was a FANTASTIC morning at Longton Primary

Today 45 children chose to work with clay. Instead of using traditional clay they had the opportunity to work with silk clay which is very soft and comes in lovely colours . They were set the task of creating three dimensional samba dancers using the clay, jewels and feathers . Everyone worked hard and produced amazing models.

Pupils from Y1 to Y6 have produced some fantastic digital art today!

As part of our topic work, we have been looking at the Amazon Rainforest.
In our topic work, we wrote a speech with a partner relating to deforestation.

Our First Week, by Mr Monckton
Date: 10th Sep 2015 @ 10:01pm
The Kangaroos have settled into Year 5 really well and are starting to take more responsibility. A huge welcome to our two new class members Tom and Nathan, it definitely doesn't feel like you have only been here a week! This week we have launched straight back into Year 5 work beavering away at place value in Maths and have started to look at the story of Beowulf by Michael Morpurgo in English as we start looking at our topic of 'A Kingdom United.'
It has been lovely seeing the Kangaroos looking very smart. Please make sure that we continue with our high standard of uniform by making sure that we wear no nail polish, grey socks for the boys, plain red bobbles and hair slides, sensible hair styles with no gel or hair braides and keep our shirts tucked in!
We also had our jujitsu taster session today! Here are some of the pictures.
