We were delighted to receive our renewed Healthy School Enhanced Award this week. This is recognition for the curriculum and experiences on offer to the pupils at our school. The addition of the new pupil kitchen will help us further extend this element of our school and staff are busy planning exciting opportunities for the children.

Congratulations to the year four pupils who represented our school in the tennis competition held at Robert Smyth Academy. They played some excellent tennis and should be proud of their achievements. Thank you to Mr Knowles for coaching the team

Easter Service

It was wonderful to be able to return to St Peter’s Church for our Easter service. Thank you to Rev Jonathan and Emma Dowman for leading the worship and to all the children who were involved in readings.

Easter Play

It was a pleasure to see the pupils in years three, four and five perform Good News, their Easter Play. All of the children should be proud of the performances, thank you to all the staff who have worked so hard to prepare and support the children.

Easter Activities

One of the children’s favourite Church Langton traditions is the Easter activity mornings. All of the classes were mixed up and the older children then assisted the younger pupils with the craft activities. This was followed in the afternoon with the Friends of Church Langton Easter Egg hunt which was enjoyed by all of the classes as they charged around the field finding the clues. Thank you to the staff and volunteers who helped to make it such an exciting day.

Children from years four, five and six took part in a dance festival held at Robert Smyth Academy this week. They were given a forty-five minute challenge to prepare a dance to then perform to an audience of parents and teachers. Miss Parker was very proud of their superb group effort.

Well done to the maths team who represented our school in a competition which we hosted at the Langton Community Hall this week. The team enjoyed taking on different challenges and competing against children from four other local schools. Thank you to Foxton Primary School for organising the event and to Mrs Russell for helping to run the afternoon.

We were proud to support National Down’s Syndrome Day. Thank you to everyone who wore odd socks and to Mr Ferguson for leading our assembly. We raised a total of £65.00 which will be donated to Ups N Downs, a local charity who support young people with Downs Syndrome and their families.

Well done the girls’ football team who played in a tournament held at Market Harborough football club. The girls played well in a series of games and should be proud of their performances. Thank you to Mr Knowles for coaching the team.

We were delighted to have pupils from years three and five take part in the worship led by Bishop Martyn Snow this week at Launde Abbey. The service was to mark the creation of the new Launde Deanery and the children were part of a choir alongside pupils from other local primary and secondary schools. Thank you to Rev Alison, Rev Jonathan and Rev Rosie for all their support with this and with worship in our school.

The class had a fantastic trip to Rock UK in Irthlingborough enjoying the many different opportunities to them. Raft building, archery, fencing and the maze were some of the highlights for the children. They represented our school superbly and made the most of their three day trip. Thank you to Mrs Harrison, Mrs Pemberton and Mr Knowles for accompanying the children.

Thank you to all who attended the phonics information session by Learn-AT English Lead Practitioner Sarah Walker. It has been great to hear the positive feedback from the session and the impact of the new teaching strategy we have implemented in phonics.
