• New School Council To Be Announced Friday

  Thu 21 Sep 2017 Mr Harbottle

  The classes in Years 1 to 6 have been using Democracy to select new school council representatives.

   

  Last week candidates, and there were many, stood up in front of their class and explained why they would make a good class councillor. Then, last Friday, children went to the Lower Hall to vote - they used the official polling station booths used by adults in local and national elections.

   

  The votes have been counted and the new school council will be announced tomorrow in Celebration Assembly.

   

  Well done to everyone who stood.

  

• Hello and Goodbye!

  Fri 21 Jul 2017 Mr Harbottle

  It's been a day of tears and smiles today.  

   

  Smiles for all the children achieving so much this academic year and moving on to bigger and better things.

   

  Smiles because it's the Summer Break (where has the year gone?!) and all the teachers, TAs and our wonderful support staff can have a well-deserved rest and recharge.

   

  Smiles because Miss Warn is getting married and will return to school as Mrs Davison.

   

  Smiles because Miss Ainsworth and Miss McGing are going on maternity leave - we wish them well and look forward to seeing their bundles of joy soon.

   

  But also a few tears have been shed...

   

  Tears from our Year 6 children as they leave the school and face the next chapter of their school life. We wish them well and know they will represent Mosspits in their new schools. We look forward to hearing about their successes and achievements.

   

  Tears because after 15 years Mrs Bray is leaving us. Serving as the Deputy Headteacher of the Mosspits Infants and then Mosspits Lane Primary, Mrs Bray has been a fantastic role model, mentor, teacher and friend to children, parents and colleagues alike. We wish her a very healthy, happy and long retirement. 

   

  And tears because other members of staff and children are leaving us for a variety of reasons:

   

  Mrs Rynn, Miss Vernon, Mrs Hayes, Mrs Stout, Miss McCormick - they have all made their mark in their long and short times at Mosspits. They have brought their talents and abilities, as well as a genuine love and care, supporting children and colleagues. They will be remembered with fondness and missed too. We wish them well in their next chapter.

   

  We've said our goodbyes in different ways but as Dr Seuss says:

   

  "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!"

   

  School life and life in general, is full of comings and goings, we are thankful for every single person who is part of our school community; and although they may not be with us we know that they legacy continues long after they have gone.

   

  Have a great summer everyone!

• British Heart Foundation fundraising

  Wed 12 Jul 2017

   

  During Health and Wellbeing week the whole school took part in a British Heart Foundation fundraising event. Reception, Y1, Y2 and Y3 held an Ultimate Dodgeball competition while Y4, Y5 and Y6 took part in 'Jump Rope', a fun skipping initiative.

   

  We had such a great week and are so proud of our children for their participation. Best of all, we managed to raise £1004.50. This money is vital to help the fight against heart disease through research and care.

   

  A huge thank you to all who contributed!

• 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!!
