🎳🏆 A huge congratulations to Year 5 for winning the Best Attendance Award! Their fantastic commitment and teamwork paid off, and they celebrated with a brilliant bowling trip full of smiles, laughter, and lots of fun. Well done, Year 5—keep up the amazing attendance! 🌟👏
To promote Liverpool libraries summer reading challenge, the children took part in a music workshop where they were treated to opera singing and musical maths games!
KS2 had a fantastic time celebrating Sports Day! 🌟 From mini golf and football to javelin, standing long jump, relay races and an exciting obstacle course, every child gave it their all. It was wonderful to see so much teamwork, determination and encouragement throughout the day. Well done, KS2! 🏅👏
🌊💛 Year 3 and 4 had a fantastic visit from the lifeguards today, learning all about staying safe in and around water. From spotting dangers to knowing what to do in an emergency, the children were engaged, asked brilliant questions and picked up some lifesaving skills. 🛟🏊♀️
On Friday Nursery and Reception enjoyed their last school trip of the school year. The children enjoyed using their imagination for people we may know, such as builders and shop keepers. The children then enjoyed decorating clay models, making magic snow and creating bath bombs in a science experiment. Then the children enjoyed exploring around the science area before making some of their own slime. The children had the best day ever!
Today we learnt about El Niño and got an explanation as to why the weather has been so different lately. This helped us to understand how to still do the things we love in the hot weather but how to do them safely.
Today KS2 took place in their sports day. This was lots of fun. We had an amazing day with lots of competitions. Each class had teams with wristbands that were coloured. We had the Blue team, the Green team, the Red team and the Yellow team. The teams did fantastic and the Red team were the winners.
Year 5 enjoyed a marine biology workshop this morning at the Victoria Gallery and Museum. The children learned a lot about the importance coral reef and had the opportunity to create their own!
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.
A big thank you everyone who attended our Summer BBQ event, you helped us to raise money for both school fund and local charity Love Jasmine. It was great to see everyone enjoying the sunshine, delicious food, stalls and activities.
Class 6 today have had an (in class) assembly to look at the dangers of swimming in open waters. We have looked at the warning signs and how to spot dangers or make safe decisions even if we think the water looks safe and calm. We also discussed peer pressure and how to deal with that if one of our friends insists we swim even though we’re not sure. If it doesn’t feel right then don’t do it.
Huge congratulations to the boys and girls football teams for making such a great effort over the last year. Thank you to everyone who took part and a special well done to the girls football team for winning the League twice this year! Well done everyone👏🏼
Today we looked through a PowerPoint and watched a small video on Water Safety. This was very interesting to see how many ways we knew how to stay safe in open water. We learnt about the Water Safety Code too which is; Stop and Think, Stay together, in an emergency Float and Call 999 or 112. The children came up with their water safety code and used actions to help them remember.
Class 5 enjoyed a visit to see the River Alt today, observing its journey in Kirkby then to its mouth in Hightown. The children impressed Mr. Verdin with their knowledge before ending the day having fun on the beach!
The children took part in a fun session, putting some of their previously taught skills to the test. They worked together as part a team to complete a rescue. Well done everyone!
Both groups enjoyed some time at the Archery range perfecting the skills needed to attempt to hit the target.
The children have enjoyed a fun packed morning taking on the climbing wall. All of the children attempted the climb and a lot of them managed to get to the top to ring the bell. It was great to see them all supporting and encouraging each other.
The children are enjoying playing together in the different play areas in Barnstondale. It is great to see them working together and getting along!
After arriving at the centre, the children from Y2 and Y3 headed straight to their first activities. They worked together to build shelters and they found out what fires need to burn successfully. The next activities were orienteering and the cannon run.
Our class had an amazing time visiting the Beatles Museum! 🎵 We learned all about the Beatles’ journey and discovered how music is made. It was fun, interesting, and inspiring to see the instruments, exhibits, and stories behind the music. A fantastic day full of learning and enjoyment!🎸✨
