Long Lane Spring Reading Bingo Grid.pdf
As you know, as a school, we are focusing on the promotion of reading this year. Reading is a skill that is essential for accessing all parts of the curriculum and good reading skills will open so many doors for children now and in the future. All children can make progress from their starting points and develop a 'Love of Reading', and an enjoyment of books, even if this is a challenge for them.
We would like to introduce the Reading Bingo challenge linked above. We would like all children to enjoy this spring reading challenge at their own level and pace. Children have until the end of the Easter holidays to complete as many of the challenges as they can. Of course, these can be adapted to suit their age and level of reading to ensure that all children can join in. For example, adults can share books with children to enable them to access books they may not yet be able to read independently.
All the parents, staff and pupils would like to thank Willmott’s and Sansome & George for their continued sponsorship of our School Crossing Patrol at Long Lane Primary School.
Both companies have sponsored our School Crossing Patrol since 2019.
The school crossing patrol funding was cut in 2018 as part of West Berkshire’s decision to cease its funding for six patrollers in the district.
Scott Willmott said:
"I am a parent with a child at the school, my family cross the busy road every day and I can't imagine what it would be like without Mr Darling helping them. As a family business, we are proud to be sponsoring Long Lane's lollipop man."
Paul Bampton, Managing director of Sansome and George, was keen to support the school as well.
“At Sansome & George we take immense pride in supporting the local community especially Long Lane School. We are pleased to have helped maintain the safety for the children and their parents travelling to and from the school.”

Year 5 completed their @LshipSkillsFdn Playmaker Award by delivering an activity session to groups of children from Year 2. They took on board all the learning related to P.A.C.E and created their own exciting games. Brilliant to see confident leaders!
Six children from Year 4 and 5 took part in a cross country competition at Pangbourne College. It was a great event with many schools. Long Lane gained 1st place (well done Jax) and a number of other top finishing positions. Fantastic performances all!
We hosted our first Reading Breakfast this week before school. This drop-in event provided the opportunity for families to come in and enjoy reading in a different way. Thank you to the PTA for buying pastries for those who came.
Year 4 visited Hampton Court to further deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Tudor period. They experienced many of the different rooms as well as the extensive gardens of the palace.
