• We Climbed a Mountain!

  Sat 05 Apr 2014

  We climbed a mountain!

  Year 4  showed  resilience and determination as they climbed to the top of Stanage Edge in the Peak District.  There were no   complaints as we made the gradual ascent to the top, although some of us were fitter than others!                                                                                                             As part of their topic on mountains, Year 4  studied the mountain environment  and learnt lots of new and interesting facts from our guides, Emily and Ted.  Our children were very knowledgeable and were able to answer many of the questions set by the guides.  We learnt some very important life-saving skills  -  did you know that the international ‘I am lost ‘  sign is 6 long blows on a whistle?  Our guide also showed us what kind of equipment you need to take when out walking and climbing to help you stay safe.  Both groups were able to practise using  the Bothy Bag (an emergency waterproof and windproof make-shift shelter).  Using some ‘Kung Fu’ moves, Year 4 acted out the formation cycle of mountains - they were very good movers!

  After a very pleasant picnic in the glorious sunshine we all made our way down, looking out for wildlife and spotting all the features of the environment we had discussed with our guide and which we had learnt about at school.  One or two of us were struggling to keep up at the end, but we  showed true Langold Dyscarr spirit to carry on. There were several acts of kindness shown by children who slowed down to keep those of us, who were suffering from sore feet, company. What a fantastic and educational day!

• KOOL KIDZ - First Edition!

  Sun 23 Mar 2014

  We are very proud to  announce the launch of the FIRST edition of:

  KOOL KIDZ                                                                            

  Langold Dyscarr Community School’s very own ‘children’s newsletter’,

  written for children, by children! 

   

  Our 4 amazing Year 6 editors, Holly, Rebecca. Elle and  Sarah-Louise started with a blank piece of paper and worked together as a journalistic team to: conduct market research, design the art work and layout of the newsletter, write the articles, find the jokes, set the puzzles, draw the cartoon strip, advertise it in assembly and of course employ the skills of ‘Ask Alex’  to help solve any problems/dilemmas that our children can send in, if they wish.  As an added bonus, the team have also  been given a budget, which they will have to manage by themselves, to buy prizes for the competitions.               

   

  Our editors are aiming to produce at least one  newsletter per half term and have invited the rest of the school to contribute.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The majority of the work has been achieved during the girls’ free time at lunch times!                                                                                                                

   

  We know of no other school children taking on such a task.  Yet again, Langold Dyscarr sets the  standard and leads the way !

   

  We can’t wait for edition 2! 

   

  Why not read the first edition on our WOW Factor page?

  Langold Dyscarr Community School Graduation    March 2014

   

  What a proud evening for all those present at the Langold Dyscarr Community School Children’s University Graduatiion! Graduation!                                                                                                                                     Before the ‘graduates’ were presented with their certificates we were treated to some beautiful singing from the choir, a very athletic display from our gymnasts and a powerful performance from our karate students.                                                                                                                                                                                       

   

  The overwhelming values that our ‘graduates’ have demonstrated have been resilience and determination, values we hold dear in our school! 

  Our guest speaker, Mr Andy Nicklin, from the Children’s University, was very impressed with our graduation ceremony—Langold Dyscarr leads the way and sets the high standard!      

   

  Thank you to all the parents and carers who came along to support and to Emma Spencer, the gymnastics teacher, to Sensei Tony and Sensei Julie from Hidden Dragon Karate and to Marcus for the use of NOW Church. Thanks also to Miss Marsh for organising such a fantastic evening.  But our biggest thanks go to the brilliant ’graduates’  -  we are so proud of YOU!
