Year Five and Six Corridor Challenge
This term, year five and six have been set a ‘corridor cleaning challenge’. The task is to keep each class coat peg area as tidy as possible throughout the day. In year six this also includes the shoes and slippers. Each class has elected slipper and cloakroom monitors who have been working hard to organise and tidy these areas on behalf of their classmates.
Throughout the day the ‘corridor fairy’ journeys along the corridors and marks each class out of ten for their tidiness. So far the standard has been very high and the results are incredibly close. At the end of the term the winners will be announced and awarded their class prize. This term the prize will be a whole class cinema experience (film yet to be decided) in the school hall including popcorn and comfortable chairs!!!
We have been really impressed with how the children have risen to this challenge and it has certainly helped to keep our corridors a tidy and safe place. Thank you and well done to year five and six. Keep up the hard work!
 
SCHOOL FUNDS - A great way to help build school funds with NO cost to you!
 The School funds Reward Scheme is an online shopping reward scheme which involves not one, but over 500 of the leading companies including Boots, B&Q, Currys, John Lewis, Littlewoods, NEXT, Tesco and Woolworths to name but a few. Every time a person uses the schoolfunds directory to shop online the school receives points, which can be exchanged for educational equipment.
The idea was to bring together all of the leading online retailers in one scheme to achieve greater rewards for schools whilst promoting online shopping. There are significant savings for companies who trade online with lower staffing levels and deliveries direct from warehouses etc. What better way to use part of those saving than to provide extra educational equipment to benefit children (their future customers)? Many companies who would not otherwise be able to run a successful independent scheme are now involved in the Schoolfunds Reward Scheme.
Using the scheme is easy with no personal registration, logins or passwords required. There are no extra costs involved, all the prices, terms and deliveries are the same as going directly to the individual websites. Simply select the school, which will be remembered for future visits and use the links to shop online with your favourite retailers. CLICK HERE to join School Funds.
Active Mark
Our school has been awarded Activemark status this year. This is in recognition of the improvements we have made in our provision of PE and Games both in the curriculum, at lunch times and through after-school clubs.
Every class enjoys regular PE and Games lessons every week. Thanks to you sending in your vouchers from supermarket promotions over the last few years we have been able to help make our PE lessons much more fun and active.
Our school continues to take part in competitions against other schools on a regular basis. Last year our football team won the Large Schools cup and zwere unbeaten in the league. Our girl’s cricket team won their event at The South Glos. Festival of Youth Sport and the boy’s won the right to take part in a regional tournament in Cheltenham. Kieron in Year 6 has represented South Glos. In a national cross country event held on the Bristol Downs.
Healthy Schools
We at Longwell Green Primary are striving to become a Healthy School. By the end of this academic year we hope to be recognised officially as a Healthy School and to gain the ‘Healthy Schools Award’. In order to achieve this we need to prove we are healthy in the following areas; Personal and Emotional Wellbeing, Personal, Social and Health Education, Physical Activity and Healthy Eating.
We are well on the way to achieving this and we can all do our little bit to help. Eating fruit at morning break, remembering to bring the correct PE kit for PE lessons, walking to school and continuing to work hard in all our lessons will all help. It is also important to maintain the positive relationships we have in our school community. |
