• Maths in Employment parent talks

  Mon 12 Mar 2018
  Last Thursday and Friday, we had a number of parents volunteer to give up their time to come into school to talk to the children about how they use Maths in their jobs.  It gave an insight to the children about why Maths is important and how its not just for the school classroom.  The parents that came in, all did a great job, so thank you!

• Tax workshops for KS2

  Mon 12 Mar 2018
  Thursday and Friday last week, the children in years 3 to 6 had a representative from HMRC to come into school to teach the children about why we pay tax and what it is used for.  The workshops were really fun and informative, which the children all enjoyed.

• Mosspits Y5/6 Boys win Everton in the Community Football Tournament!

  Fri 23 Feb 2018

  On Friday 23rd February, our Y5/6 football team entered a competition run by Everton in the Community at the Everton hub near Goodison Park. The tournament was run by EitC as part of their celebrations for LGBT history month.

   

  The boys were involved in football matches as well as workshops delivering key messages in diversity and celebrating differences. Miss Dunning reported back that the children were an absolute credit to the school in their behaviour and attitude throughout the day. We couldn't be more proud!

   

  (Oh, and did we mention that we won it?) Whooooooop!

   

  Thank you to Everton in the Community for an amazing day and a fantastic learning experience.

   

  Photos can be found in our gallery.

• Choir returns next Wednesday!

  Wed 21 Feb 2018 Mr Harbottle

   

  After a little break, following the fantastic Young Voices Concert at the Manchester Arena, choir will restart on Wednesday 28th February in the Lower Hall.

   

  I've had a deluge of applications and I'm pleased to announce I have over 50 members! I'm especially pleased to see an increase in the number of boys joining. We have some many great singers at Mosspits, I know they're going to create an awesome sound.

   

  We hope to be singing at our special Easter Service at Holy Trinity Church, at the M-Factor Final (while the judges make their decision) and at other events in the summer - keep your eyes on the school website and the choir pages for more details soon.

   

   

  

• Read as a WRITER, WRITE as a reader.

  Fri 02 Feb 2018

  We are excited to tell you about our new project in school which we are calling, ‘READ as a
  Writer, WRITE as a Reader’. This involves revising and planning an engaging English
  curriculum using a wide range of high-quality texts for each year group, every half-term. We
  will be promoting both classics, much-loved books and novels alongside new and upcoming
  authors and texts with our pupils. We’ve invested money in bringing in a range of quality
  texts, including buying whole class sets of books and novels that each class are studying.
  Part of our whole-school approach will be for pupils to fully immerse in their class texts,
  exploring the way the author uses language to develop our children in their own writing.
  There is a wealth of research to show that one of the most effective ways to become a good
  writer is to be an avid reader; to unpick language from books and use this as a model for
  quality writing.

  
  Over the coming months, you’ll see us promote our whole school texts and class activities via
  our website and Twitter.

   

  (Look out for the hashtags #READasaWRITER #WRITEasaREADER).

  
  We’ll send you newsletters to tell you about the books that each class are studying and texts
  that we are excited about, with recommendations for reading at home.

  
  For more information about this project and the thinking behind it, visit the English section
  of our website.

  

• Everton U23 stars visit school

  Thu 01 Feb 2018

  It was fantastic to meet two of Everton's current Under 23 team, Antony Evans and Josh Bowler this week. They visited with Everton in the Community along with club ambassador, Graham Stuart to do football skills with a group of our KS2 pupils. The activities were fantastic and the children got to spend some time with the players on a question and answer session. They learned that Everton are the U23 Premier League champions!

   

  A great afternoon - thank you, Everton in the Community.

  

• Take a Peek - Once a Week! Head lice campaign

  Tue 19 Dec 2017

   

  Dear Parents/Carers,

   

  We have had a number of cases of head lice reported recently and we know this is particularly frustrating. We no longer have a 'nit nurse' like many years ago where all pupils had hair checked, and we are not permitted to check children's hair ourselves. So we have decided to be adopt the campaign that Hedrin use, called 'Take a Peek, Once a Week'.

   

  We don't advocate the use of Hedrin products as this is a personal choice, but we do like the campaign's message and the leaflet which can be found in the Health section of our website and which has been emailed to you all this week. We like it because it is easy to use and has good advice; this advice has been given the support of our school nurse.

   

  Each month, we plan to text all parents/carers to remind you to 'take a peek'. Checking regularly, we hope, will help us to reduce cases of head lice in school. 

   

  Thank you for your support in this.

  

• Premier League Poetry Competition

  Tue 12 Dec 2017

  We are very lucky to have forged a partnership with Everton in the Community who have introduced us to the fantastic Premier League Primary Stars programme to develop English, Maths, PE and PSHE enrichment.

   

  This term, all of our children in Year 3 to 6 wrote an entry for the Premier League Primary Stars Writing competition. 

  This has been advertised on national television and the task was to write a poem about resilience.

   

  Teachers have chosen two pupils from their class to be entered into the national competition; you can read their entries in the English (Writing) section of the website, here:
