'The Reading Project'
Thank you to all of you who were able to come to the 'Reading Project' information morning on 15th October. As promised, I have uploaded the two power point presentations used this morning to our website. I hope you will find the information on these slides interesting, useful and something you can signpost to others.

The Reading Project

Archery Gold!

We took 7 teams to the Yr 3/4 and Yr 5/6 Archery Competition for the Stansted family of schools on Friday 22nd November. The children all really enjoyed the event and their aim improved as the morning progressed, with several bullseyes being scored. Our Yr 5/6 teams narrowly missed out on medals with 2 of the teams coming equal fourth. However, one of our Yr 3/4 teams did really well and brought home gold medals, as well as qualifying for the district competition next term.

Tag Rugby Success!

On November 6th, we took 2 teams to the Stansted Family Yr 5/6 Tag Rugby Tournament and were blessed with glorious sunshine. The A team played 5 matches, drawing 2 of them and being narrowly beaten in the other 3, to finish 5th overall. The children played well as a team and learnt a lot as the morning progressed. Mr Oliver had given the team coaching points to execute in the game, and it was great to see the children listening and try to put into play the coaching points. The B team had a great morning, being unbeaten in all their matches - only drawing against Howe Green Blue team - so therefore winning the B team tournament. The team was made up of Yr 5 children who won Yr 3/4 tournament last year, so we have high hopes for doing really well in the A team tournament in 2020!

Our Triumphant Key Stage 2 Athletics Teams

On Tuesday 21st May we were delighted to welcome the Bishop of Chelmsford, Stephen Cottrell, to LHS. He spent time with all the children during Collective Worship where he spoke about his role as a bishop and answered some very challenging questions prepared by our Worship Leaders.

Bishop Stephen's visit

On Friday 10th May we were delighted to welcome Kemi Badenoch, MP for Saffron Walden, to LHS. Mrs Badenoch met with Mrs Strickland and Mrs Dutton, Chair of Governors, before answering a diverse range of questions from children in Years 5 & 6, plus some members of the school council. As a result children were able to increase their understanding of parliamentary democracy as part of their learning about British Values and Diversity.
