• Christmas Choir

  Fri 13 Dec 2024 CB

  The Christmas Choir have enjoyed their first performances of the year, singing a range of traditional and modern Christmas carols.  They sang for the residents and staff at Ada Belfield, and at the Congregational Chapel for the Belper District 50+ Forum. As in previous years, the audiences really enjoyed their singing and especially the actions for Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer! We have already been invited back again next year.

  We are incredibly proud of all those who sang and represented Long Row with such enthusiasm, and we look forward to more singing in the run-up to Christmas, including the SMILERS Christmas Event and Key Stage 2 Carol Concert at Christ Church.

  Thank you to all the children involved in the Choir - it really is a joy to hear you sing - and to the office staff for all their support too.

• Mobile Planetarium

  Tue 17 Sep 2024 CB

  The Year 5/6s have had a fantastic morning with Dave Buttery learning all about the planets, solar system and moon missions. The planetarium shows were amazing – ask your child(ren) all about it when you see them. We have attached some photos and captured some of the things we learnt…

   

  “Saturn’s rings are made up of little bits of rocks and ice, which are no bigger than a football.”

   

  “Mercury and Venus are the only planets in our solar system without moons! Earth is the only planet with one moon.”

   

  “Earth is the only known planet to have water on its surface and the only one to have life (as far as we know)”

   

  “It takes the moon 27 and a half days (roughly) to orbit the Earth!”

   

  “Small asteroids are around the size of Belper and big ones the size of Derbyshire! The biggest one recorded was the size of England.”

   

  “Artemis I was launched in November 2022. Artemis II was delayed because of two unsuccessful attempts at getting the supplies onto the moon. NASA will now target September 2025 for Artemis II”

   

  “Artemis III will be the first time people have landed on the moon since 1972. This mission hopes to include the first women to land on the moon! Artemis hopes to travel to Mars after.”

   

  “Apollo was only built to last a few days on the moon, however they hope Artemis can land for weeks or months.”

   

  “If you fall into a black hole, you would be spaghettified and become part of the black hole!

  If someone saw you fall in, all they would see is your body you frozen in time.”

• Sycamore Class British Red Cross Workshop

  Fri 15 Dec 2023 CB

  It has been wonderful to have Anish from the British Red Cross in Sycamore class this morning! They have received a workshop to learn about the experience of migration and reasons why people may have to leave home. The children focused on developing empathy, by putting themselves in the shoes of others and engaging in stories of migration. A really good link to our class story this term (The Boy at the Back of the Class, by Onjali Q. Raúf). The children were brilliant and asked lots of great questions.
