Primary Enterprise Challenge , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 14th Feb 2016 @ 10:05pm
On Friday, while most of you had a lie in, I took 10 of our year five children to St Helens Chamber to the Primary Enterprise Challenge. The children took part in a competition based on a game. The game was very much like Monopoly but has a 'business' twist. The children had to purchase assets, deliver goods, work out transport and insurance cost as well as buying and selling. There was an awful lot to think about. I was so impressed with both of our teams. Their behaviour was impeccable and I was extremely proud. Then they announced the winners!! Our team from Q5 came 3rd out of 9 schools. They did brilliantly. Well done.

Today, Q5 had their last session with the Fit for Life team. They were tested on all the knowledge they have gained over the last few weeks. The children used the iPads to access the quiz and were rewarded with fruit and goody bags.
Q5 have learned so much about living a healthy lifestyle over these sessions. We would like to say a big thank you to the team who have delivered these sessions.
Let's hope that the children can use this knowledge to make sensible life choices over the coming years.

Chinese New Year, by Mrs Atherton
Date: 10th Feb 2016 @ 8:30pm
Year 5 discovered how the animals were ordered in the Chinese zodiac. As it is the year of the monkey, we listened to the story of how the Monkey King was born from a stone egg, we also discovered some of the mischief he was involved in until Buddha trapped him under a mountain.
Year 5 made lanterns and dragons to celebrate the occasion.
A big thank you to Mrs Connor and Miss Bates, who have transformed our corridor using the children's crafts.
Take a look and see what you think, we love it.🐒

Library visit!, by Miss McCormack
Date: 8th Feb 2016 @ 9:32pm
Today we took a little visit in the pouring rain to Peter Street library. We had the opportunity to speak to a librarian and even have a look around at some of the books they have for people to borrow. We also learnt where the picture books, fiction and non-fiction books can be found.
We would just like to say thank you to our parent helpers, without you we wouldn't have been able to go on our trip.
Although we ended up soaking wet, we had a great time and are really looking forward to going back again soon to borrow some books!
Winter Poetry , by Miss Glover
Date: 7th Feb 2016 @ 9:17pm
Last week in Literacy we looked at poetry.
We started off the week by exploring the season of winter. We went on a winter walk on Monday and looked at some winter imagery. We developed descriptive vocabulary throughout the week and learnt everything we needed to know about what makes a good poem.
We wrote a class poem and it was great. On Friday the children had a go at writing their own poems using their poem plans and they are AMAZING!!!!
I am one proud teacher!
We will have an anonymous vote this week on which poems we love the most- I will upload a few!
Well done Q1!

This week children spent time observing the work of Simon A Yorke an artist from St Helens. This masterpiece was from an exhibition which coincides with poverty action week. The art exhibition called 'Nomads' was on display across various locations in St Helens. We was so very lucky to see this amazing piece. The portrait was of a homeless man, we used this art to spark discussion about our values such as respect and love in R.E and SEAL lessons.
