As part of their creative curriculum, 'Can Buildings Talk? ', Yr3/4 have been looking at circuits and electricity. Children learnt about the dangers of electricity and how switches help make buildings energy efficient. Children created their own circuits by using the correct symbols and then constructed the components to create the circuits. All the children thoroughly enjoyed the hands on experience and demonstrated a potential to be excellent electricians of the future!

This week’s session saw Mr Mackley introduce the traditional Maori dance, Haka, to the children. Mrs Gray was very impressed how the children picked up the moves quickly. Many children will recognise the Haka from the New Zealand rugby team who perform the dance before every game to acknowledge the courage of opposition for playing.

Lingey House is an outstanding school. Pupils, staff and parents readily embrace the school’s motto ‘to aim high’ and this is evidenced most clearly in the excellent progress pupils make, the high standards they attain, and in the exceptional
curriculum and care, guidance and support provided.
[Ofsted May 2009]

Pupils talk enthusiastically and with confidence, about how
much they enjoy school, and how, ‘Lingey House is the best school in the universe’, and this can be seen in their very positive attitudes to learning and their exemplary behaviour.
[Ofsted May 2009]

You can download your copy of Lingey House's 'outstanding' Ofsted report by clicking on the link below:
Download file: 'Lingey House Ofsted Report (May 2009)

A big thank you to parents for your support both through the inspection process but more importantly, throughout the year. I can assure you that all at Lingey House have plans for the future to continue to make your school ‘The best school in the universe.’

We have received a complaint from the Council about dog fouling on the grassed areas around school. It appears adults collecting children are leaving dogs tied up outside the school gates. Can we ask that dogs are not left unattended next to the school gate nor must they be brought onto the school premises. If your dog fouls outside the school, could you please clean up after it.

Lingey House celebrates its 50th Birthday on the 30th June 2009.

As part of our week-long celebrations we are producing a ’50 Years of Lingey House DVD’ and putting up a large display of pupil memories in the school hall.

We are aware that many of our parents are former pupils of the school and are looking for any photographs, newspaper cuttings etc that people might have from their time at Lingey House.

Photographs will be scanned to be used for the DVD and then will be put up on display in the hall.

If you have anything that you think would be suitable for display please send it into school in an envelope with your child.

Remember to print your child’s name and class on the back of all photographs so that they can be returned to you after the birthday celebrations.

Thursday 5th March is 'World Book Day'.

To mark the day pupils are invited to come to school dressed as a character from a story book.

Maybe last year's pirate costume could be recycled into a Treasure Island character or last month's Robin Hood costume could be worn again.

Pupils will also be given a £1 book voucher which can be redeemed against the value of a book or which can be exchanged for one of six special World Book Day books.

Visit the official website for more details:

After half-term the school cook will be providing 'Spud Busters' as an alternative to the usual school meal. Those children requesting a 'Spud Buster' meal will be served a full jacket potato with a choice of filling such as tuna and sweet corn, beans, or cheese plus a selection from the sald bar in addition to the usual dessert.

The 'Spud Buster' choice will run for a trial period over the course of the next half-term. Children staying for school meals will need to choose either a 'Spud Buster' lunch or a regular school meal when the dinner register is taken every morning. Please consult your school meal menu and prepare your child to make this choice. Additional copies of the current menu are available at the school office.

May I take this opportunity to remind all parents that school meals should be paid for in advance on a Monday morning for any meals required during the week. Those parents who we have to regularly remind about unpaid dinner money may be asked to either provide a packed lunch for their child or collect them for home dinner.

The fair will be open for parents and children to look through the books each day after school. Opening times will be as follows:

AFTER SCHOOL (EARLY YEARS HALL) 3:20PM - 4:15PM

In the far there will be a wide selection of children's books available for you to choose from including picture books, young fiction and junior novels as well as reference and non-fiction titles. There will also be a selection of staionary, gifts and posters.

Your support would be greatly appreciated because for every book sold at the fair, the school earns commisssion, which will enable us to add new books to our school and class libraries.

If you are uable to attend but would still like to take part, look through the leaflet that will be sent home with your child. Choose the book(s) that you would like, fill in the coupon on the back page and return to school with the payment. Your books will then be kept for you.
