P5's trip to the Catalyst Museum , by Miss Stubbs

Date: 4th Oct 2017 @ 12:49pm

P5 had a great sleep-over at the Catalyst Museum.

The children were so excited for the workshops and the sleep-over. They were so engaged in the Fantastic Plastic workshop and were over the moon with their key chains. They couldn't believe how the plastic changed texture, size and shape. 

The children were engrosed in the Explore Your Universe workshop and loved seeing the invisible UV light. 

Thank you Mr Brown, Mrs Roberts and Mrs Baskett who gave up their own time away from their families to support your children. 

It was lovely to hear the staff complimenting all the children for their manners and how tidy they left the observatory after their sleepover. Very proud teacher!

Take a look at our pictures.

P5 had a great day investigating air resistance. 

Ethan, Olivia and Sophie won the competition as their rocket reached the highest point, therefore it had the least amount of air resistance. 

Well done :)

Date: 7th Jul 2017 @ 1:24pm

Hello everyone,

This week, in Literacy, we have been on an adventure all over the world looking for Charlie's underpants. This has involved learning about Paris, Peru, Nepal and the Serengeti in Africa.

in Maths, we have been learning about the three and four times tables, getting ready for the juniors.

We have also enjoyed extra P.E this week as we start Athletics. We have some brilliant sprinters, Shot Putters and Javelin throwers in our class.

Please remember that next week is transition week next week. The class will be going to year three for the whole week so your children will need to be dropped off at the Year 3/4 entrance. Children will come out at 3:15 as opposed to 3:10 for all of next week.

Enjoy your week in Year 3 next week! 

Year 4 World of Glass Trip, by Mr Houltram

Date: 6th Jul 2017 @ 7:06pm

Year 4 have just enjoyed such a brilliant trip out to the World of Glass. The day was action-packed as we learned all about the Romans and World War II. We were able to consolidate our learning from our history work. We were also lucky enough to have enjoyed a glass art session where we decorated our very own glass. If that wasn't enough, we got to watch an interactive film all about the history of glass in St. Helens and to top it all off, we were treated to a brilliant glass-blowing demonstration. Oh, we forgot to mention the fun we had in the Glass Play Zone. We did say it was action-packed but we had so much fun and behaved impeccably. We must thank our very supportive parents for giving up their own time to help us out, we are incredibly grateful. I think we'll all sleep well tonight. We hope you enjoy the photos!

P5's poetry workshop with Paul Delaney, by Miss Stubbs

Well done to Gabriella Tabern who was a runner up for her poem about horses. This was super!

What a week it has been! 

This week, we have had a really fun week! On Monday, it was a very hot but very fun Sports Day. We hope all of the children and parents/carers enjoyed it! Congratulations to Miss Glovers team who were the winners and thank you all for trying your best!

On Thursday, all of Year 2 enjoyed a trip to Liverpool World Museum. We visited the planetarium where we looked at a video about life beyond Earth and got to touch a meteorite which was millions of year old. Then we went to the aquarium where we learned about sea life which swims and walks. After lunch, we went on a tour which involved visiting the Bug House and the Egyptian Centre where we saw a REAL Mummy! Thank you to all of the parents who came to help out! We couldn't have done it without you.

On Friday, we had a visit from Fencing and Cycling Paralympian Craig McCann come in and inspire us to say 'Yes' to every opportunity we get given. We have taken part in sponsored sporting activities throughout the morning and it has been really fun.

Congratulations to Maisie Ashton who has earned a two star badge this week for being amazing!

See you all next week!

We have just had the funniest hour playing real life quidditch (the sport played in the Harry Potter books)

P6 were put into the four houses;Ravenclaw,Hufflepuff,Slytherin and Griffindor by the infamous sorting hat 🎩 and then we played eight amazing games of quidditch, complete with beaters, qwaffles and of course the golden snitch.

A brilliant experience for us all. What a laugh 😂 

Week Beginning 12th June 2017, by Mrs Potter

Hello everyone.

This week in Literacy, we have been reading about 'Supertato' on his quest to defeat Evil Pea. We have been practicing using imperitive verbs to form commands to give to Supertato to help him trap Evil Pea in jelly.

In Maths, We have been learning about capacity of bottles. We did a really fun experiment with lots of bottles to measure which bottles were more than, less than or equal to 1 Litre.

Congratulations to James Jones who has won this weeks star badge for an excellent improvement in his handwriting. Keep it up James!

Please don't forget that it is sports week next week and sports day on Monday morning so P.E Kits need to be in

Another reminder is to make sure that you have signed the permission slip so that your child can come on the school trip. If we could have them ASAP, that would be brilliant. Thank You.

Have a good weekend!

As part of our Greek topic, Year 5 tasted Greek foods. Pita bread was the favourite and some children enjoyed the olives. 

Q5 then had a great morning creating their own vegetable souvlaki. They had to learn cutting skills to cut the vegetables, using the bridge hold and claw grip.

Tomorrow, in our Inspire morning, they will cook them on the BBQ to share with their parents. Let's hope the weather is on our side. ☀️

The Beginning of the End! - Week beginning Monday 5th June, by Mrs Potter

Date: 9th Jun 2017 @ 12:15pm

Welcome back everyone!

This short week has been a fun one! In Literacy, we have been learning all about the General Election. We have learned about the party leaders as well as some of their policies. We also participated in a school election on Wednesday which taught everyone how they will vote when they are older.

In Maths, we have been learning about reading scales, especially thermometers. This has involves a test of cold, tap and warm water. We got to see how the thermometer rose and can now read the temperature.

On Thursday, we had a special Science day which was lead by some Year 6 students. We got to see if we are good tasters. This involved putting blue food dye on our tongues to count how many taste buds we had in a certain area.

Congratulations to Sophie Crosbie who won this weeks star badge for always trying her best in every lesson. Well done Sophie!

See you all next week!

Today, P5 worked in groups to create Greek Temples. The children had a certain amount of equipment to meet the design criteria. Mrs Sharkey then came to judge the temples and gave points for asthetics, height and stability. 

What a great day!
