Fantastic work from some UKS2 pupils, helping Ian, our school gardener, to get a plot of our school grounds ready for the planting of wildflowers! 

Today is our second workshop for parents and carers, beginning at 1.00pm. Last week was very successful and we are sure that this week will be just as successful!

All are welcome to attend.

Congratulations to all of our children who celebrated their First Holy Communion yesterday.

Special thanks to Anne, Mr Southworth and their families who have helped to prepare the children during this year. 

We look forward to seeing photographs of their special day.

Three of our pupils, who took part in the project with artist David Andrews, went to Anfield to join the launch of the canvas project marking 125 years of Liverpool FC history. Our pupils were designated the 1953 – 1957 period – look at their creations below!

Well done to everyone who took part, you are now a part of Liverpool’s history yourself and the canvas project can be seen in the Kenny Dalglish Stand.

Today, the Eco council group went to Everton Park to plant Wildflower seeds. We planted them in an area that was developed by schools from around the area last summer. We were taught how to best scatter the seeds and how to look for the areas that would need the seeds most.

We have been very lucky this season to be able to give lots of our pupils the opportunity to see Liverpool (and Everton) football matches, through our links with Red Neighbours and LFC Foundation, the community part of the club. Recently, one lucky pupil was chosen to attend the Stoke City home game due to his fabulous work in the reading stars project last term. Two other pupils, were given tickets to watch the live screening of the Champions League Semi-Final away leg vs Roma this week! We hope to be able to bring you all more ticketing opportunities soon as well as next season!

Today I had the pleasure of visiting Anfield Community Bakery. Homebaked is a community land trust and co-operative bakery situated on the boundary between the neighbourhoods of Everton and Anfield, just opposite the Liverpool Football Club. The project is co-owned and co-produced by people who live and work in our area. Starting from having saved our iconic neighbourhood bakery from demolition and developed it into a thriving community-run business with a beautiful apartment above we are proposing to regenerate our high street ‘brick by brick and loaf by loaf’, using money that is spent in the neighbourhood to benefit our communities. We talker about how we could become partners in learning and have many exciting ideas of how we can support each other in the community! So keep reading and look out for some engaging projects coming up soon! 

Next Friday 4th May from 1.00pm-3.00 pm is our first Parent Workshop, Understanding Autism. Please contact school if you are interested in attending.

International Children’s Book Day happens on or around Hans Christian Anderson’s birthday (April 2nd ) and aims to inspire a love of reading . Remember to take time this week to read for pleasure , listen to a story or join a library . It doesn’t matter if you’re picking up an old favourite or discovering something new, reading for yourself or reading to others , today is the day to celebrate children’s literature.

What a great morning so far! Year 5 have raised over £300 with their random mismatch fancy dress day and sponsored activities!

Already, they have taken on the bleep test and performed brilliantly! Some pupils even took part twice! The sponsored silence is now well underway! Thank you to everyone who has supported the pupils in their fundraising effort and for supporting our chosen charity KIND.

What a fantastic turn out for our ‘dress as your favourite sportsperson’ with John McEnroe (Mr Fairclough) and Ian ‘Beefy’ Botham (Mr Stephenson) dressed to impress!

We also held two dodgeball tournaments and two football tournaments in Key Stage Two! You managed to help us raise over £200 (total still to be confirmed!) – thank you!

Everton Kids Club Easter Holiday

Due to adverse weather conditions, school is closed today. 

What a fantastic way to celebrate having achieved 100% attendance, than a tea party with your friends, eating cake and drinking hot chocolate! Over 180 pupils attended across the afternoon, with Mrs Finnegan and Mr Southworth pulling out all the stops to make sure our pupils got the reward they truly deserved!

Today we were joined by teaching students from Hope University. They came to show our KS1 children some engaging phonics lessons and all the children were actively involved in their learning. We had Phonics Jenga, Phonics Fishing, Phonics Washing Line game, and Phonics fly swat game! All the children enjoyed the students visit and were keen to show the students how great they are at phonics.

Year 5 and 6 had a lovely morning playing with their friends in the snow! The teachers got involved too!

School is open as normal today. Please take care on your way in to school.

The NSPCC will be visiting our school to talk to parents about online safety. If you have any concerns or would like to know more about how we can protect our children in relation to online safety please come along to the short session organised by the NSPCC & O2.

The session will take place in the media suite on the Tuesday 6.3.18 at 9:00am. 

Everyone is welcome!

 

Friday saw our second session of Building A Bridge to Books. We looked at making our first book and the children became authors and decorated their books themselves. Their parents helped teach the children lots of early reading behaviours and it was so lovely to watch the children engaging their parents in a love of reading. Next week we are making a cookery book with our favourite recipes in!   

We had some fantastic results at cross country tonight! Cold conditions faced both our girls’ and boys’ teams in the race taking in most of Wavertree park but that didn’t stop us posting our best results this season. With our final race at Sefton Park next week, all the pupils have set themselves targets to beat this week’s positions!
