• Health and Wellbeing Week

  Fri 30 Jun 2017

  This week we have been taking part in many Health and Wellbeing activities.

   

  We have been joined by many visitors who have taught us skills in a range of sports, including tennis, martial arts, athletics, basketball, football, lacrosse, dance and hockey. Some of our visitors focussed our attention on wellbeing and we were lucky to be joined by Kate Norfolk who led massage sessions (as part of the 'Massage in Schools' programme) and nurses from the School health team who gave us tips on effective hand washing. Each class visited the allotment area; our polytunnel classroom was well used and many tomato seeds were planted. Thank you to Mrs Clews for your support with that brilliant activity.

   

  Earlier in the week, on Monday, we had a specific focus for the day: 'Learning to Lead'. The children learned how to lead sporting activities for small groups in their classes. Mike Dooling MBE from the Liverpool Harriers worked with Year 5 children, teaching them how to officiate in Athletics. We made links with a local high school, Calderstones and they kindly released a team of young leaders to come and lead sessions for our children. This was a fantastic sessions and their young people were brilliant role models to our children.

   

  Throughout the week Mr Kelly, our Sports Coach, ran our British Heart Foundation fundraising activities: Ultimate Dodgeball and Jump Rope. Please consider sponsoring your child for these events and were possible, reach out to extended family members and friends too. 80% of the money raised goes directly to the charity and 20% of the money comes back to school.

   

  We finished off the week with our annual 'Dress and Fruit/Veg' competition and each and every single entry is BRILLIANT!

   

  What a week!!

  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):

• School Science Week

  Mon 06 Mar 2017

  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.
