Locked Up!

As part of Year 6 upcoming history topic on The Victorians, we visited one of the smallest Victorian gaols of its time. Now opened as a museum, we got to explore the cells, the maternity area, the governors rooms, punishment yard and learnt about the executions that took place there. As you can see by our photos, some of us weren’t happy to be locked up!

Y6 Street Art Tour

Today Class 6 took a tour around South Liverpool to take a look at the different styles of street art and the artists behind them. We discussed what we thought their inspiration was and the messages the artwork was giving us. Mr Curry talked about the history and origins of the Secretary Bird and we talked about the similarities between that and our very own Liver Birds.
Finally we were so lucky (and excited) to get to meet two of the well-known street artists we have been studying in our Art lessons…John Culshaw and Liam Bononi! We got to ask them some questions and they told us why they started street art and how long they’d been doing it for, along with their inspiration and how they paint their images on a huge scale. It was such an amazing experience to get to meet and question the artists we have been researching. How lucky are we!

Y6 Residential- Canoeing

We had lots of fun canoeing along the Menai Strait. The weather was a bit choppy but with great teamwork, we navigated brilliantly. Once we had finished, we used our great teamwork skills to bring the canoes out of the water before some of us braved the water again for a quick dip off the jetty.

Savings Club Assembly

Today we have began taking part in the LifeSavers Programme which will help our pupils learn about money and how to manage it wisely. As part of the LifeSavers Programme we have partnered with a local credit union, Central Credit Union, to provide our school savings club for pupils.

Any pupils from Reception to Year 5 are eligible to join the savings club now and they will receive a LifeSavers Passbook and wallet when they join. Please see the letters your children took home with them for more information and the QR code to register by Friday 12th June.

Some children from each class had the opportunity to partake in the assembly and help their fellow classmates to understand the importance of money and savings.

Diversity Day – Summer 2

Today we had our Diversity Day. We read a book called ‘Wisp, A story of Wonder.’ The themes of this story were Refugees, War, Starting somewhere new, Asylum, Empathy and Welcoming others. The children made connections to stories they’d read and situations they have been in that relate to our story. They made lovely predictions about the story and we talked about how Hope can make a difference to our lives.

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!
