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!











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.









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!🎸✨

As part of Year 6 upcoming history topic on The Victorians, we visited one of the smallest Victorian gaols of its time. Now opened as a museum, we got to explore the cells, the maternity area, the governors rooms, punishment yard and learnt about the executions that took place there. As you can see by our photos, some of us weren’t happy to be locked up!









Today Class 6 took a tour around South Liverpool to take a look at the different styles of street art and the artists behind them. We discussed what we thought their inspiration was and the messages the artwork was giving us. Mr Curry talked about the history and origins of the Secretary Bird and we talked about the similarities between that and our very own Liver Birds.
Finally we were so lucky (and excited) to get to meet two of the well-known street artists we have been studying in our Art lessons…John Culshaw and Liam Bononi! We got to ask them some questions and they told us why they started street art and how long they’d been doing it for, along with their inspiration and how they paint their images on a huge scale. It was such an amazing experience to get to meet and question the artists we have been researching. How lucky are we!


















Class 6 have been on a graffiti masterclass this week. Making their mark on the street art scene. They have learnt new skills in the art of graffiti and know the difference between commissioned and illegal street art. Take a look at our fantastic work below, with a positive, inspiring message (voted for by class 6) and keep a look out for our final piece on display at our leavers assembly next month.
