Forest School

It was a very warm day in the garden so we went to visit the fire when the fire pit was ready to cook on. Today we made cheese toasties, we sang songs around the fire pit whilst we waited for them to cook.

London Town

What a day we had in London! We started our day super early so we arrived in London by 9am. Our first stop was the tube, headed for The Tower of London.
We had a brilliant few hours at The Tower of London where we saw the Crown Jewels, Bloody Tower, Traitors Gate, learnt about William the Conqueror and his White Tower, Sir Walter Raleigh’s imprisonment and had some lunch with the squirrels and ravens before taking part in a wonderful workshop. We then headed to the embankment and had a lovely walk along the Thames seeing the fabulous sites of Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Downing Street before taking a stroll past St James’s Park to see Buckingham Palace. After an amazing day we jumped back onto the tube to Euston station where had some tea before boarding our train back to Liverpool. Oh and we did see some famous faces….Sir Kier Starmer and John Barnes!

Capoeira

The children enjoyed an exciting session of capoeira, combining movement, music, and teamwork while building confidence and having fun. A big thank you to the parents who provided the session and helped make the session so enjoyable for everyone! We are looking forward to the after school club starting in Summer 2.

Capoeira Assembly

Today we had an assembly about Capoeira and a small taster session for a new after school club that would be starting after half term. This was very interesting to see a new style of club that is an Afro-Brazilian martial art and game that includes elements of dance, acrobatics, music and spirituality.

Stay and Play

Our second stay and play group enjoyed time in the garden, taking part in some forest school activities. The children and some of their parents enjoyed making nature bracelets, flower art and they used the fire to toast some bread. The children enjoyed showing the parents their knowledge of how to stay safe around the fire before helping to prepare the kindling and lighting the fire with the flint and steel.

Albert Dock trip for History

Today we had a trip down to the Albert Dock to ask members of the public about why they are visiting the Albert Dock today. We got to ask if they were from Liverpool or if they were tourists and what they were visiting for, whether it be, museums, restaurants, cafes etc… We got lots of information to make a bar chart with.

Calderstones Park: Signs of Spring🌸

This week Nursery visited Calderstones Park as we explored signs of spring, we looked for lovely new flowers that have bloomed, trees that have started to grow their leaves and we saw lots of minibeast. We also heard lots of beautiful singing from the birds in the trees. Then we had a lovely rest in the sunshine to have a yummy cake and a quick play on the playground before heading back to school. What a lovely afternoon.

Trip to Faulkner Square Gardens

Today we went on a trip to Faulkner Square Gardens where we learnt lots to do with our current history topic. We learnt all about Edward Faulkner and his father, Thomas and lots about the Seaman’s Memorial that is in the same area.
We learnt a lot to do with Slavery and why Liverpool was so important during the Slave Trade.
We completed a worksheet helping us to gain facts and make a timeline and we also wrote our own poem about our surroundings.

Gardening Club

Gardening Club enjoyed exploring the new greenhouse, making sure their plants were fully watered and checking on their crops in the allotment and in the planters. We are looking forward to using some of the items harvested in recipes and cooking activities.

Forest School – Cooking

This week in forest school we enjoyed activities in the sunshine. We started with a scavenger hunt for items that matched descriptions . After that we worked together to peel, slice and core apples before mixing them with sultanas, cinnamon and a sprinkle of sugar. Whilst they were cooking on the fire we used a whisk to make our cream topping.

Nursery Farm Trip 🐑🐖

Nursery had a wonderful time visiting the farm, where the children were excited to see a variety of animals and their babies. They enjoyed observing the animals up close, learning their names, and talking about how to care for them. It was a lovely hands-on experience that sparked curiosity and supported their understanding of the natural world.
