Q1 trip to the Libary , by Miss Glover

Q1 have had a lovely afternoon today at the Peter Street Libary. We sat very well and listened to some lovely books. I am so proud at how sensible you all were. Outstanding behaviour all afternoon, especially when walking there and back- well done!😀😀😀😀 The children loved exploring all the different types of books that the Libary had to offer. Membership is free so why not join? We will be returning after Christmas for another session and we will be voting for our most popular book. I wonder which one it might be? Check out our pictures from our afternoon and the books we enjoyed today. 

Christmas Tree Festival Celebration Service, by Mrs Platt

Date: 11th Dec 2016 @ 8:30pm

Members of the school and ethos council worked alongside Reverend Gwynfor to lead this morning's special service at Ormskirk Street United Reform Church. 

The children helped to light the Advent wreath, read aloud and sang beautifully. 

The congregation commented on the children's smart presentation, confident reading and as always their wonderful behaviour. 

Well done children - you are a credit to your families and Queen's Park School. 

Q4 put to the test, by Mr Houltram

Date: 9th Dec 2016 @ 6:46pm

Test week this week for Q4. All the children took them in their strides and I can say I wasn't  surprised with our results because the children never cease to amaze me. It's been a long term and the children have worked incredibly hard but it sure is paying off. 

We still managed to squeeze some Maths in and tackled perimeter. The children now know the area and perimeter of rectilinear shapes. We spent Friday with some challenges such as 'Can a shape have the same area and perimeter?' The children even created their own challenges and enjoyed investigating. 

For our English I introduced the children to 'Coming Home' by Michael Morpurgo. We enjoyed listening to Michael himself telling us the story. We had some discussions about the text and created an information poster all about Robins. Did you know that the robin was declared Britain's National Bird on December 15th, 1960? The children did a great job using lots of organisational devices for their posters. Next week, we will be comparing the story to an advert - can't wait for that! 

Well done to Josh who won Star Badge and Deborah who topped our Dojo chart. We wish Enola lots of luck this weekend who auditions for Britain's Got Talent! How exciting is that. We know you'll do Q4 proud. Good Luck! 

See you next week!

Stone Age inspire day, by Mr Warner

Date: 6th Dec 2016 @ 10:09pm

What a fantastic day was had by all during our Year 3 inspire day. The learning that took place today involved Maths in naming and understanding of 3D shapes during the planning stages of den design, lots of Design Technology work with structures, the History element in the children becoming emersed in Stone Age ways of life. Teamwork and cooperation was required throughout the day. The children even sampled a selection of Stone Age food when inside their dens. Their structures were tested with water thrown over them, with all proving to be both sturdy and waterproof.

Thanks to parents for the fabulous turnout and support. Also for getting involved in helping cover the dens and joining in with the fun.

It was a wonderful way to finish off our Stone Age topic. Thanks to Chris for running the day and to all staff involved in making this day possible for the children.
