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 !

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!
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!
Week 2 at the stables and the children are learning how to groom their horse. Everyone is doing really well and the horses look really relaxed.
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.
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.
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.
It was fantastic to take a new group to Shy Lowen Horse Sanctuary this week. Over the next six weeks the children will build confidence as they groom their chosen horse, learn lots of facts about horses and then have a ride on the last session.
🚢🎶 A moment to remember! 🎶🚢
What an incredible experience for our Pleasant Street Primary School Choir! Our children had the amazing opportunity to perform at the official naming ceremony of the Royal Daffodil, alongside the Liverpool Show Choir. 🌟
A very special day making memories and representing our school. 💙
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.
The cross country team started the season well with some amazing results including a 1st place in the boys race and 2nd place in the girls race. Well done everyone!
We have some places available in our school Nursery, if you would like to apply for a place, please complete the online application form on the admissions section of the school website. We have open evenings coming up in the next few months which are the ideal time to visit our school.

Today we had our end of year trip for Year 4. We had lots of fun. We did a big walk through Royden Park and Thurston. We stopped to see the strawberry picking fields and then had our lunch on a lovely field. We then played a game of football and headed back to school!
🎳🏆 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! 🌟👏
Khadiatou was the winner for our final contest winner for this year in Year 4. This year Mr Curry donated his lovely Ukulele to us which was so kind of him to help the children’s education. We pulled a name out of a hat with the raffle tickets that everyone had collected over the summer term. She is very happy to be able to use this Ukulele every day at home.
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!
