We are very proud that some of our Year 5 children have their African masks displayed on the Dot-art schools website as part of the Dot-art schools Art Competition 2017.
The dot-art Schools programme Liverpool is an interactive, online, inter-school art competition, culminating in an end of year exhibition for the top students in each participating school. During the Autumn and Spring terms, each school creates and selects pieces of student work which they feel best represent the talents of their students. These art works are submitted and put on display to the world via the dot-art Schools website (schools.dot-art.com).
A panel of art experts will select the top 3 artworks from each school. Students from all the schools in the programme, as well as the general public, will then be able to vote for their favourite piece of art from the judge's shortlist here (from 1st-30th April):

During the Summer term, an exhibition will be held at a city centre art gallery showcasing the artwork with the most votes from each participating school. The overall winners of the 2016 dot-art Schools Competition will be announced at a prize-giving ceremony on 15th June in the spectacular Concert Room at St Georges Hall, where the top three students from each of the participating schools in the Liverpool City Region will be presented with a certificate by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool and the six overall winners and runners up will receive their prizes.

Science Week 2017
It's SCIENCE WEEK in school, week beginning 6th March and we are very excited about what we have planned. For 2017, we have chosen to focus on Plants as our main theme, although there is much more to our week than plant life alone.
We have as-creatives coming to school to deliver creative Science workshops, including Pirate Science! Pupils will meet Captain Morgan who will take them on a journey to explore floating/sinking, density, upthrust, nutrition, skeletal structure and blood clotting, amongst other things!
Year 6 will be linking up with the University of Liverpool to use their state-of-the-art microscopes. We will look forward to some fascinating findings.
As our main theme is plants, we will be making sure that the school allotment is full of groups of children planting the first of our Spring seeds.
Bring in your pajamas, dressing gowns, slippers and cuddly toys for a bedtime story for World Book Day 2017. You might want to bring in your favourite bedtime storybook too.
