Today Year 1 as part of their Geography work, went out and about exploring Longton. They had to look for human and physical features. We found lots of human activity and decided that this was beacause we live in a village.
Thank you for sending in the baby photos, we had a lot of fun guessing who was who, they were all very cute!

A beautiful day in Longton, by Miss Reynolds
Date: 24th Jun 2019 @ 7:36pm
We had a great day with a couple of groups exploring Longton. We’re learning about the local history of our area to make a tourism video for Longton. We also thought that, while we were at it, we could do our bit for the community and do some litter picking.
The highlight of the afternoon had to be having Robins come and feed from our hands in the Brickcroft! We felt like Disney princesses and princes! Thank you very much to the lady that shared her bird feeding secrets with us! We really loved it! Also thank you to Bill for stopping and sharing his knowledge about the Brickcroft with us! It’ll all make the promotional video for Longton!

Maths homework problems, by Miss Reynolds
Date: 20th Jun 2019 @ 9:16am
Hello Giraffes! I've uploaded a pdf with a load of Maths problems on them - you can do however many you like, but I would like you to try at least 2. But here's the thing, the answers to these problems were in a separate document, which has gone missing! So you need to be very, very sure of your answer, because you are going to have to convince others that you've got the right answer when we discuss this on Wednesday.
Pop the number of the problem that you do in your maths book, any working out should go there and also a short explanation about how you know you've got the correct answer. Have fun and don't forget to test your adults and see if they can manage these tricky problems!
