Christmas News
Tue 18 Feb 2014Christmas Events
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support with our Christmas productions this year. As ever, I am very proud of the children’s achievements and I know from seeing your faces that as well as being proud of your own child, you shared my feeling that the school continues to demonstrate all that is good about Langold.
This year four separate plays took place to ensure that the maximum number of children could be offered a speaking part. Please be assured that the funds raised from ticket sales goes towards pupil-focused activities such as visiting theatre companies and we also use the funds to buy prizes and rewards for the children. The PTFA do a marvellous job to supply as many costumes as possible for the plays but as you can imagine, with 250 children to clothe we rely on the support of parents to make these events happen. Thank you to those who supplied a costume, it is much appreciated.
The Christmas raffle will be drawn next week and as you will know the funds raised from it will be used to buy a further set of Kindle Fire HDs. The children’s love of reading and interest in books has really developed since the PTFA donated the Kindles and they are keen to supply more. Thank you once again.
This week, further Christmas activities have taken place with the choir participating in the Portland carol service at St Anne’s church. Once again, the children sang beautifully and reduced me to tears! They will also be singing at St. Luke’s Church, Langold on Friday at 4:00pm if you would like to join us for a traditional carol service.
With Christmas almost upon us, our final week in school will bring Christmas lunch on Tuesday with almost 200 children and staff taking part and then each class will have a special Christmas party.
Once again, may I thank you for your continuing support.

Dane Appleby Saves The Day
Sat 15 Feb 2014Remember, Remember, the 5th of November Gunpowder, Treason and Plot…
Dane Appleby saves the Day!
On Tuesday, Dane Appleby foiled Guy Fawkes’ (Miss Marsh) dastardly plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament (Langold Dyscarr Community School)! Guy led Year 2 on a secret mission around the building armed with gunpowder before being spotted by Dane. However, the children had enough time to build a bonfire, burn the guy and have some hot chocolate before returning to the classroom to write up their exciting adventure. WOW!

John Mann - Milk Monitor
Tue 11 Feb 2014John Mann - Milk Monitor
Milk Is Cool!
Langold Dyscarr Community School was delighted to welcome John Mann to our Special Mentions assembly to explain the Cool Milk Scheme.
Mr Mann explained the scheme to the children and also told us about how he became the School Milk Monitor, when he was at school, because he could not sing — instead of practising with the choir he delivered the milk! He also reminded the children just how healthy milk is and how important it is to drink your milk everyday. Mr Mann returned to his Milk Monitor role when, as part of the scheme, he was able to arrange for milk to be delivered to every child in the school.
We are sure that Mr Mann must have been very impressed with our ‘Special Mentions’ children and the 5 karate stars who earned their Red Belt, Holly Bierton, Isabelle Mill, Seth Wheeler, Samuel Salari and James McNamara.
What did you think of our brilliant listening skills in assembly Mr Mann? Did you spot our witches and wizards in the audience?
Mr Mann was later interviewed by our Year 6 reporters, Isabelle and Robert about his views of our school and his job.
