Transition Day saw children from Castlefields and other local schools joining us for the morning at LJS. All year groups moved up for the morning within school and spent some time with their new teachers. Y6 went to their high schools for the day and we look forward to hearing about their experiences on their return.

Pirates of the Curry Bean boldy go where others fear to tread (well Rastrick Bowling Club) powered by their own wind. The scene will be set on Wednesday next week so if you haven’t yet got your ticket please do not miss out on this much anticipated annual treat. Y6 have been practising for a while now (please don’t tell me you wouldn’t have known!).

Sports Week kicks off next week where there will be house matches, a swimming gala (Tue) and the eagerly anticipated Sports Day Fri). We would like to ask parents to avoid coming over to where the children are sat during the event and to humanely restrain any younger relatives so that they don’t accidentally enter a race or fall victim to a stray javelin. Safeguarding is top priority for us and we need to know where our children are at all times and who they are talking to.

Thank you once again to the wonderful staff in Y5 (and other year groups) who looked after the children so well during their stay in Whitby.

Year 3 Chicks Once again these were a big hit down in Y3 as the children watched them hatch and develop. Mrs Briggs has now kindly taken them under her wing at the Rastrick branch of Nandos (sorry I meant to say, at her house). Many thanks to Mr Flinn and all the staff who brought this lovely experience to Y3.

Zara Mahmood has written about her experiences at the Book of the Year Competition in Halifax. On Wednesday 24th, Miss Thomas took me and nine other friends to Halifax for the Calderdale Children’s Book of The Year Award, and Longroyde had entered the competition too. Earlier this year, the ten pupils (including me) found out we had been chosen to compete for the best author to be chosen. The first step was to read four new books- written by four different, new authors- and write a review for each book. Also, we were told that there would be prizes for best reviews, so we were even more overjoyed! Then the time came, and we all arrived at Halifax library, on an early bus. We were the first ones to enter the library and take our spaces. Read the rest of the article at… www.longroyde.weebly.com
