A lovely message!

Before we broke up for the summer Key Stage One were studying plants and as part of this topic one of our parent’s came in to talk to the children about his job as a botanist. He also spoke to us about how to grow healthy plants and judged our sunflower competition, Miss Kennedy’s class won!

‘I wanted to write to thank you (and in particular Miss Kennedy and the other Y1 & Y2 staff), for the opportunity to come into school and talk to Y1 and Y2 about my work. I really enjoyed it and was inspired by the kids thirst for knowledge, and by how much they already knew! You are doing a great job. I enjoyed the questions that the pupils asked, some of them were really quite tough! I’m looking forward to coming in again to do some more outreach in the next academic year.’ Raj Whitlock

“Best trip ever !”

As the title suggests , our trip today was descried by our children as “The best trip ever !” Well, the sun shone on us today and as usual the children made us proud . Some of our year four children met the Lord Mayor of Wirral and a teacher from another school commented that the behaviour of our children was exemplary. We met tarantulas , racoons , lizards and a huge snake. (Don’t worry though they were with a handler so we were perfectly safe !)

We are used to playing in front of a spectacular view but if you look at the photographs , the view at Wirral country park was amazing too ! If you look carefully at some of the other photographs you will notice some bulging pockets at the beach , we have enjoyed learning about the stone age so much we couldn’t help but collect some more stones !

After a busy day learning , playing , exploring , digging, walking, climbing , travelling , discovering and sight-seeing it’s no wonder we thoroughly enjoyed it !

Ankoma Outreach Donations

Thank you to all the children and families, who donated unwanted football shirts to our partner school in Ankoma. I have just received an email telling me that they were used last week for a Football Gala, set up for the community of Ankoma. Here are some pictures of the kits being used.

Thank you, Mr Garth.

The wildflowers are here!

 

The wildflowers that some of our children planted during the Spring Term have started to blossom in Everton Park! The children who are going on the attendance trip next Wednesday will be able to enjoy the flowers which have helped to add colour to the park. Year 6 have been busy exploring the importance of wildflowers for our community and environment through an art workshop – you can see pictures in our gallery on the Upper Key Stage two summer news  ! There will be a free family fun day held at the park on Saturday 18th July, see details on flyers in our school office .

A fun Week in Foundation Stage!

This week we have had a visit from Paddington Bear, Tinkerbell’s fairy friends and a ‘Shark in the Dark’! Check out our Foundation Stage Summer News page for more details and the Gallery for more photos.

Paddington Visits Liverpool!

Further Cricket Success!

Another fantastic day of cricket, this time for our Year 5 team. Some pupils from our Y5/6 team represented us once again with new additions from our Monday after school club.

The team, managed by Mr. Southworth, performed brilliantly, topping their group after beating Leamington (281), Windsor (275) and Holy Family. Into the knock out rounds and the team posted their highest score to date, beating All Saints (310) to face Lister in the quarter-finals.

Lister were beaten (279) to set up a semi-final clash vs. Childwall C of E. A relatively low score of 239 was enough to win, pitting us against St Vincent de Paul in the day’s final.

Unfortunately, the team ran out of steam, narrowly missing out on a place in the County Finals, held in Preston, next week.

A fantastic effort from the whole team made Mr. Southworth, and the rest of the school, extremely proud. With the success of the Year 6 and Year 5 teams this year, hopefully this will inspire many more of our pupils to take up cricket with a local club.

KS2 Sports Day

Well done to all the children in Years 3, 4 and 5 who took part in sports day today. Under very warm conditions, the children performed brilliantly, not giving anything less than 100%.

1 = Green 371

2 = Red 364

3 = Yellow 337

4 = Blue 280

Thank you to all the parents who came to support the children, everyone had a fantastic morning!
