Thank you so much to all our children, families and staff. You raised over £2400 for Grief Encounter with our sponsored walk - a phenomenal effort. This money is more than enough to support a whole family for a year with whatever they need after losing someone they love. You are all truly astonishing.

 

At Lansdowne, we always try to think of others as well as keeping ourselves fit and well. With these key goals in mind, we have decided to do a charity sponsored walk. The charity we are supporting is called Grief Encounters and provides support, counselling and emergency phone lines for children who have been bereaved through the loss of a family member.

It cost £26 to fund a support phone call and we are doing our event on 26th March, so we are working to the theme of 26. Each year group will have their own activity to do:

Nursery and Reception:  26 laps of the Foundation Phase playground.

Years 1 & 2: 26 laps of the whole playground or do 26 shuttle-runs between to markers. 

Key Stage 2:  a 26 minute walk around the local area.

 

We want everyone to feel they are part of this event - getting fitter, being outdoors and caring for others are all so important. Children and their families can raise money in 3 different ways:

 

1) Use the sponsor form (on the DISTANCE LEARNING page of the website) and collect donations (friends and family only, please. No strangers)

2) Make an online donation to our Just Giving page. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/lansdowne-primary

3) Bring £1 (or whatever you can afford) on the 26th of March as we do for other charity events.

 

Every penny is valuable - they all add up.

Please contact Miss Fry if you have any questions, need a sponsor form or for any other reason relating to this event and THANK YOU all for being brilliant families.

Dear all,

Those shortlisted completed a rigorous presentation interview process today over teams with myself, Mrs Cooper and Mr McInnes. I am sure you can appreciate how brave they were to undertake this challenge and we are immensely proud of all of them.

The new team are:

Emily : Head girl

Lucas : Head boy

Harsh : Deputy head boy

Mahira : Deputy head girl

Head prefects: Emily, Salim , Niharika , Rumel .

I am sure we all extend our warmest congratulations to these pupils and look forward to seeing you around the school in September in your green jumpers!

Best wishes,

 Thank you to everyone who attended!! 

We celebrated World children's day with two assemblies about the rights of the child and pupil teacher takeover! Pupils became the teachers for half an hour and explained children's rights! 

We are collecting food for the harvest festival appeal on 17th October. All donations until then will be very gratefully received 

 

 

 

 

 

We ended the half term with what we believe is our best sports day yet! There was plenty of fun and competitive spirit in the sunshine over at the park, as well as lots of team and sporting spirit demonstrated. Thanks to Mr Redding, Mr Harrington and the staff for working so hard to make this happen, as well as a huge thanks to all our parents who cheered the children and teachers on. 

On 11th April, nine children from across Key stage 2 attended a Rights Respecting conference at Fitzalan High School. The children participated in a variety of activities and worked alongside children from neighbouring schools to discuss and learn about childrens' rights.

To celebrate the exemplary behaviour and resilience of our children who had to attend Ysgol Hamadryad whilst repair work was carried out at Lansdowne Primary, all of Key stage 2 were treated to an afternoon in Victoria Park on Friday 12th April. The children had a wonderful time playing in the sunshine and it was a lovely way to end the term. Check out some of the photos below:

Please come and join us for celebration assembly (Year 1 and Rec) on Friday morning at 9am followed by coffee and cake (all welcome!) at 9.30am. It's our way of catching up with our families- we would love to see you!
