This term we have been reading Billionaire Boy by David Walliams. In literacy we made a slogan, logo and jingle to promote Mr Spud's bum fresh toilet roll he invented. Q3 and p3 went into the hall and had to present their ideas as if we had been on Dragons Den.

Nous aimons le rugby!, by Mrs Taylor

Date: 15th Jun 2016 @ 12:07pm

Today Q4 had some very exciting visitors as part of our international sports project. Saints prop forward Levy Nzoungou came with the Saints development officers to help us to practice our French and rugby skills. The children sang to Levy in French , spoke some sentences so that he could comment on their accents and asked him questions about life in France. We then went onto the field where coaches Gaz and Dan put us through our paces with core rugby skills. A representative from the Rugby League also came for the visit and as a French speaker himself he praised the children's accents, intonation and confidence. Well done Q4!

Leaver's Service at Liverpool Cathedral, by Miss Ellis

Date: 14th Jun 2016 @ 9:19am

Yesterday afternoon, all the children and staff from year 6 attended the Leaver's Service at Liverpool Cathedral. It was a very emotional start to our classes getting ready to begin their journeys towards high school (Miss Ellis certainly had a tear or two in her eye!) Euan and Rebecca (our head boy and girl) carried the school banner through the cathedral and presented it at the alter, Kenny hung our prayers for the future on the prayer tree and Tansy received a candle from the Bishop which we will now use as part of our leaver's service in school. During the service, the children received a blessing from the clergy and our children were lucky enough to be blessed by our own Miss Hope who is a lay reader. The children behaved superbly and were a real credit to the school and their parents. A lovely afternoon😃⛪️

This week in our topic work we have been making treasure maps. First we studied good examples treasure maps; looking at geographical features and the pirate themed names of places.  Then the children worked together to design their own. After the children had finished making their map they had fun using their programming skills to move the Beebots around their maps.

Some of our Year 6 children were invited to Cowley Language College on Friday afternoon. It was a great opportunity to have a tour of the school, meet the staff and pupils of Cowley and take part in a question and answer session. A huge thanks to Cowley's Year 8 prefects for giving us such an informative and friendly welcome. We look forward to the other transition days taking place later this month.
