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.

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.

Thurstaston and Parkgate

Class 6 enjoyed a trip out this week as part of our geography topic. We’ve been learning the history behind the once thriving port of Parkgate and its demise in the 1900s. In class before our trip, we mapped out our route for Thurstaston using our co-ordinates and compass skills and visited the cave where ill-gotten contraband (looted from passing ships in the River Dee) was stored before being sold at The Red Lion public house in Parkgate back in the 18th century. We seen how the River Dee has silted up over time and how Parkgate has become a maritime conservation area. The Red Lion pub is still there today and Parkgate is a lovely place to visit.
