Imperial War Museum Trip

Class 6 visited The Imperial War Museum in Manchester today to learn all about the history of World War II as part of our history topic. We focused on the defences used to protect soldiers and cities that were being attacked. The role women played during the war, life on the home front and the holocaust. We gathered lots of information to take back to the classroom and into our books. Then finished the day listening to an emotional, inspiring poem by a poet Tony Walsh called Mightier Than War.

Shy Lowen Week 3

This week we learnt about what girl and boy horses are called (mares and geldings) as well as about different horse breeds. The children are really growing in confidence and the horses are appreciating their attention.

We also said hello to Bernie’s dog. He’s only 12 months old and still growing !

Cookery Classes

Matt, our school chef is running weekly cookery classes with pupils. During the sessions they prepare and cook their own dishes, which they take home to enjoy. They also take home a copy of the recipe so that it can be recreated at home with family members. Take a look at some of the delicious dishes that have been created so far!

Making Music

Some children went to the Beatle Museum in Matthew Street today and were given an in-depth tour of The Beatles history from beginning to end. We became Beatle Explorers to find certain items around the museum before dissecting a well known Beatle song and building it back, instrument at a time. We have some great musical talent in Class 6!

Forest School at Busy Bees

Yesterday at Busy Bees we did things a little differently and cooked our own snack over the campfire! We toasted our bread on toasting forks and on a grill over the firepit, and drizzled on delicious honey. We enjoyed practising with the flint and steels, which we use to light the fire, and sang songs while we waited for the toast to brown.

School Council Meeting at Victoria Gallery

We welcomed our new School Council members at their first School Council meeting yesterday, held at the wonderful Victoria Gallery just off Brownlow Hill. Mr Verdin joined us and asked the children to focus on the following three areas this year: promoting the school savings bank, reducing wasted electricity and reducing food waste at lunch. The children all did us proud with their ideas and their behaviour (as always).

After the meeting we had a chance to look around the museum, which is open for families to visit for free on Saturdays from 10am to 5pm.

Gardening Club is Back

We explored our allotment garden and greenhouse to see what changes have taken place over our long break. The children found sweet peppers, lots of tomatoes, some melons and pumpkins. We also dug up our potatoes which Matt made into potato cakes for our lunch the following day, they were delicious.

Space Day

Class 6 took part in a Space Outreach event this week at The University of Liverpool where we heard from lots of experts on all things space. We heard from astronauts about what it’s like to live and work on a space station and also learnt how our bodies react to life in space.
We seen the evolution of telescopes through the years, watched how stars explode, seen an asteroid crash to earth and if that wasn’t enough, we got to take part in some exciting activities. It’s safe to say we all had an out of this world experience.
