• U11 Mini Soccer County Finals In Chesterfield 3.12.19

  Wed 04 Dec 2019 J. Welbourne
  What a fantastic effort by our Year 5/6 football team. We were not only representing Longmoor today, but the whole of Erewash in the U11 Mini Soccer County Final Event, finishing 3rd in the event!
  
  We went on to win our group and also were undefeated. First we won 2-0 against Simmondley with goals from Harry and Theo, then had two 1-1 draws against Roe Farm Primary and Dronfield Primary with Kyedan and Harry scoring. Our last group game ended with a 3-1 win against Hilton thanks to goals from Harry, Kyedan and Theo scoring a penalty.
  
  Our tournament ended in the semi-final after losing on penalties after drawing the game 1-1 against the eventual winners St Johns. Theo got the goal in that game.
  
  I want to say well done to all the children involved (Jake, Christian, Leon, Jack, Kyedan, Dylan, Theo and Harry) you played some fantastic football and have done yourselves and the school proud! A big thank you to Harry's mum and dad, Jack's mum, Leon's dad, Dylan's dad and Kyedan's grandad for helping with travel and supporting the team.

  Mon 08 Jul 2019 Eleanor, Barunka, Dylan and Jake

  Today, we (Dylan, Jake, Barunka and Eleanor) were lucky enough to go on a trip to Derby University for a special sports event. The drills focused on four different skills (which were agility, balance, co-ordination and speed and strength). The day was ran by four professional athletes: a swimmer, a hurdler, a badminton player and a heptathlete. They helped us improve our skills and encouraged us how to think big. They shared their experiences and gave us advice on how we can succeed and be the next big sporting champions.  An extra special thank you to the amazing Mr Roper for taking us. (*_*)

  Tue 29 Jan 2019 S Roper

  On Monday the 28^th January, Miss Edwards and Mr Roper were lucky enough to take 11 children to a Dodge Ball Festival held at Wilsthorpe. This was a fantastic opportunity for the children to have a taster of the sport and learn and develop new skills, including; throwing - overarm, underarm and chest passes. Catching – eyes on the ball, hands ready to catch and pulling the ball towards the their chest. And, of course, Dodging! The children (and teachers) had a great time at this event and their behaviour was exemplary and they did a fantastic job representing Longmoor. However, Leah and Gabby seemed to have the most fun by throwing the balls at Mr Roper!

  A big well done to all our Dodge Ball Superstars – Beila, Kaydon, Tayler, Karla, Dylan, Christian, Gabby, Leah, Frazer, Maria and Emmanuela!
