Have a look at our extra-curricular clubs timetable to see which clubs are running over the autumn term.

Last week was the final cross-country club session and next Friday (16/10/15) will be the final tag rugby session for the Year 3 and 4 girls. On Monday 19th October, the Year 1 and 2 gymnastics club are putting on a performance for their parents and families to come and watch (4pm in the school hall).

It is great to see so many children take part in our after school clubs and we hope to provide more clubs in the future. If you have any sports or activities you would like to take part in, that isn’t currently on offer, please see Mr. Garth, and he will try to make sure there is an opportunity during the year.

Another fantastic evening for cross country came with splendid performances from all of the team. Each week at training, improvements from every pupil can be seen and it is definitely showing in the cross country league performances.

There will be a meeting in the school hall for parents of Year 3 children who are going to PGL. The meeting will take place on Wednesday 7th October 2015, at 3:30pm. At the meeting you will be given information regarding activities, packing lists, medication and money. Your child will be coming home with a leaflet, informing you of this meeting.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Mr. Garth

Please join the Foundation Stage Team tomorrow in the school gym at 2.45pm  – 3.10pm for a coffee and chat about your child’s journey through Nursery and Reception. Find out information about how your child learns through play as well as how to support his/her early reading and mathematical development.

Nursery and Reception children had a fantastic day at Acorn Farm. Check out our Early Years page for more information and photogrpahs!

This afternoon we are having coffee and cakes in the hall in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, parents are invited to come along from 2.30pm!

Text just in from Mr Cotton,

‘Glorious sunny day today. Kids all fine, although exhausted. It’s been a great trip and the kids have been brilliant. A credit to the school and their parents! . See you at 3pm’

Last night the children (and Miss Topping) got their best gear on ready to dance the night away at the legendary Colomendy disco. The children were exhausted after a long day of exciting activities but still managed to ‘throw some shapes’ on the dance floor!

The sun was still shining as the children took on canoeing and kayaking activities! I’m afraid there are some wet clothes coming back to Everton! Everyone safe, happy and having a great time!

Latest news from Mr Cotton is that the children are currently taking part in Nightline, Team Tech and Bouldering. They were full of energy after cereal and a full English breakfast and the weather is just perfect!

It’s sunny and bright in Colomendy this morning and the children are looking forward to a fun filled day of challenging activities. Last night the children had roast dinner for tea, they were up and out early this morning and looking forward to a cooked breakfast.

‘Children are all in bed but not asleep! Very excited! All safe and sound and had a good day. Washing machines needed for Friday night though!’ from Mr Cotton

Mr Cotton has text to say the children have enjoyed their first activity despite the light rain. The journey went as planned and thankfully ‘sick buckets’ weren’t needed!! We will keep you posted with the latest news as we receive it.

Year 6 have arrived safely at Colomendy, children are busy making their beds and unpacking their bags before they begin their first activity and have tea. We will keep you posted on how the children and what they are up to!

The second cross country event in the calendar was held at Newsham Park this evening, with OLI fielding a boys and girls team once again. Eryk showed that last weeks 27th place finish was no fluke, with a 6 place improvement, finishing in 21st. First through for the girls was Eve, improving by 15 places, in 63rd place.

Well done to first timers James and Harriet, who raced very well considering they are 1 year younger than most of the competition. The third event will be held at Stanley Park next week.

Boys:

Eryk Kowara: 21st

Lucas O’Brien: 60th

Sean Harris: 69th

James Wamulo: 70th

Girls:

Eve Power: 63rd

Alexis Crieta: 78th

Paige Critchley: 79th

Akasha Low Koan: 87th

Harriet Guy: 88th

Pupils in Reception and Key Stage One enjoyed a morning of tennis, with Phil from the Tennis Foundation. Children developed skills which they have learned since taking tennis lessons in PE last year, but most of all, had lots of fun! There is also an opportunity for all pupils to take part in free tennis sessions this weekend:

Where: Liverpool tennis Centre, Wavertree Sports Park, Wellington Rd, Liverpool, L15 4LE

When: Saturday 26th September from 10am – 12pm, or 2pm – 4pm. Sunday 27th September from 10am – 12pm.

Cost: FREE!!

The Cross Country season kicked off at Wavertree this week, with OLI taking part after a a term’s worth of training sessions in the summer. Both boys and girls were represented by Year 6 pupils, in the intermediate schools’ races. Over half of the schools in Liverpool were in attendance, meaning over 80 pupils took to the field in each race, with some exceptionally talented runners from around the city.

All the pupils thoroughly enjoyed their first competitive cross country race and all are determined to beat their placings from this race next week at Newsham Park.

Our first runners home were Eryk (27th) and Holly (51st).

The play ground leaders have been so busy on both the Key Stage One and Key Stage Two yards.
