We'll be celebrating the Year of the Monkey in February for our school's Chinese New Year celebrations.
Although the official Chinese New Year date is February 8th, we'll be celebrating this on different days, with the main event for Mosspits, on Tuesday February 9th.
In EYFS, they have set up a Chinese restaurant in the role-play area and they will be learning about Chinese culture, music and tradition.
Dance workshops have been organised for EYFS and Y2 with a Chinese dragon dance theme, on February 1st.
We have a range of creative, enrichment activities planned for our main day of celebration on February 9th. In particular, we welcome members of the Liverpool Confucius Institute into school who will provide a Tai Chi presentation to Years 3 - 6 and workshops for EYFS and Y2. This will include Chinese art (paper-cutting), language activities and Tai Chi.
If any of families from Liverpool's Chinese community would like to be involved in our celebrations, please contact school; we would love to hear from you.
Finally, we have been very fortunate that our Year 1 classes have been invited by the Confucius Institute to attend one of their prestigious shows at the Everyman Theatre, to welcome the Year of the Monkey with a professional Chinese troupe and local schools performing kung-fu, dance, drama, physical theatre and spoken word. It promises to 'bring colour, traditions and atmosphere of the Spring Festival!'
Dear Parents/Carers
This year we will be raising money for NSPCC and will be supporting their NSPCC Number Day which is on Friday 5th February. The day will be spent doing lots of fun, enrichment maths activities and we will be having some parents who have volunteered to come into school to share with the children how they use Maths in their jobs.
We are going to ask the children to come in on the day wearing something linked to maths, for example numbers, shapes, patterns.
We would like to politely ask for a voluntary contribution of £1.
Many thanks
Miss Lisney
PA Christmas Dash was great fun! Could pupils please bring sponsor money in next week? Your support is greatly appreciated.

Following on from the Reading Quality Mark that Mosspits achieved earlier this year, the school has now been accepted onto an exciting new pilot project for 'Liverpool Counts' Numeracy for Life Quality Mark. The quality mark wants to promote positive attitudes to numeracy as an essential life skill and not just to be used in the classroom. During the next few months we will be looking at different ways to show the pupils that numeracy skills are used consistently in everyday life.
Wednesday 14th October was World Maths Day and this year we decided on a rugby theme, due to the Rugby World Cup currently taking place in England. The children took part in rugby themed maths challenges and solved maths problems involving rugby in the classroom and also using our large 'Maths on a Mat' in the hall. Most of the year groups were also able to take part in a rugby session outside led by 2 rugby coaches.
Some photos from the day will be on the website soon.
THANKSGIVING SERVICE
Dear parents/carers,

Thank you all for generous donations of tinned and dried food for the South Liverpool Food Bank, an organisation that helps families in times of crisis; we really appreciate this.
Yours sincerely,
