• European day of languages 2015

  Fri 25 Sep 2015 Miss H Vernon

  la journée européenne des langues 2015

   

  On Wednesday September 23rd, we celebrated European Day of Languages 2015. (This date actually fell onto the Saturday, so we decided to celebrate it a few days earlier.)

   

  We had a range of creative enrichment activities taking place in school, all French-themed, as this is our school's chosen language of study. Pupils visited our cinéma français to enjoy some popular French-language films; Reception and Key Stage 1 enjoyed a viewing of 'princes et princesses' whilst Key Stage 2 watched 'tin tin et les 7 boules de cristal'.

   

  Each class listened to a French story and continued to explore and practise their French language skills, Year 1 and 2 were lucky to have a visit from Monsieur Levy who read them the story 'Le grand mystère de la petite souris'. The children loved listening to French being spoken by a native French speaker and really enjoyed hearing about the French tradition of 'la petit souris' (In France children hear the story of the little mouse just like  we have the Tooth Fairy in England).

   

  Classes explored different areas of French culture on the day. Reception enjoyed learning the names of the colours in French and had a French food tasting session. Year 1 listened to the famous 'le carnaval des animaux' by French composer Saint-Saëns and held their very own Carnival of the Animals in the hall. Year 2 and 3 classes explored the work of famous French artists Seurat and Rousseau and produced some excellent artwork inspired by the artists.

   

  In Year 4 children investigated all the French speaking countries around the world and created natural sculptures based on famous French landmarks. Years 5 and 6 researched Paris and France using the Ipads and created their own tourist information videos.

   

  Our French fun continued at lunch time with a French-themed school lunch in the canteen and games leaders taught children the traditional French playground game 'la marelle' on the playground. 

   

  We had a fantastic day, c'était incroyable!

• Health and Wellbeing week

  Mon 22 Jun 2015

  Health and Wellbeing week 2015

   

  Monday June 22nd - Friday June 26th is our annual Health and Wellbeing week. And this year, it's even bigger and better than ever! We are committed as a school to playing our part in promoting healthy lifestyles and ensuring that the children's wellbeing is at the heart of all that we do. Health and wellbeing messages and learning take place regularly across the curriculum but we believe that having a themed week is a great way to really promote the importance of keeping healthy and well.

   

  We have invited a range of professional organisations into school to support us in delivering this programme. We are pleased to welcome partnerships and activities with the Chris Foy (Football Premier League Referee) Liverpool Harriers (athletics), Super Athlete S7, Liverpool Tennis, Stagecoach Performing Arts, Nike and Wavertree Cricket Club.

   

  We have specialist teachers/coaches to deliver yoga, metafit, orienteering, fencing and street dance which are all unusual and original activities to enhance our children's experiences and promote sport and being active.

   

  Our staff have been trained to deliver kurling as a new game in PE so many classes will get to do this for the first time!

   

  There are different sessions for Sports Day throughout the week. Year 3 and 4 have theirs on Tuesday morning. EYFS, Y1 and Y2 are on Thursday morning and the final sessions are for Year 5 and 6 on Thursday afternoon. Please remember to send children in team colours on this day if you can. Your child's teacher will make sure they know what team they are in and what colour this is.

   

  Harrison: Blue

  Lennon: Green

  McCartney: Yellow

  Starr: Red

   

  As well as sporting activities, we have a range of health promotion and wellbeing activities in place across the school this week. Children will learn about healthy bodies and healthy minds, looking at food and nutrition, keeping safe, anti-bullying and e-safety amongst other things. Activities will take place from our massage programme and Deaf Active will be in to work with Year 6 again.

   

  Children can wear sports kit every day, all week and should make sure they have full water bottles each day. If weather is sunny, we recommend putting sun cream on them and sun caps.

   

  Classes will visit also our school allotment this week, to learn about growing fruit and vegetables.

   

  On Friday, everyone is welcome to enter our 'Dress a Fruit/Vegetable' competition. Transform a fruit or vegetable into something else and bring it to school for fun.

   

  What a week!

  Look out for photographs and tweets throughout the week @mosspitslane.
