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.
A huge well done to our girls football team who were crowned academy champions after winning their tournament at Melwood on Thursday. Well done all, we are very proud of you!
A big thank you to one of the parents from Y4 who visited EYFS today as our mystery guest reader. We really enjoyed listening to the story you chose to share. If you would like to become a mystery guest reader, please get in touch.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
The School Council want to say a big thank you to everyone who donated and bought cakes recently at their cake sale. They raised £200 and presented the money to Shy Lowen Horse Rescue Centre this week who were delighted.
Everton and Anfield Family Hubs have a wealth of courses, workshops and activities available. We have attached a copy of their Spring timetable so you can view what is on offer. If you would like to take part in anything listed, please contact them directly.

The children enjoyed examining artefacts from Ancient Greece today, looking at how objects from the past can tell us about how people lived.
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.
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 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.
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.
The children enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at Singtastic! Click the QR code and watch us sing!
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.
