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 !
If you would like to see some more photographs , please look at our key stage page- Under the ‘Children’ tab , go to ‘Key Stages’ , then’ Lower key stage two’ and ‘Our Summer News’.
Our Year 3 and 4 children have met the Lord Mayor of the Wirral today on their trip out to the beach!
Travel information for children on the Autistic Spectrum who are travelling from Manchester Airport this summer is available on our SEND page https://oliprimary.co.uk/parents-info/special-educational-needs-disability/
Today, we have been awarded a Silver Games Mark for KS1 and KS2, as a reward for our schools’ provision of PE, School Sport and Competition.
The award takes into account the time dedicated to curriculum PE, the amount of competitions we have entered, the extra-curricular opportunities available and the use of pupils as leaders of sports and games activities.
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.
Next year is Sport Relief and we may call on other unwanted sporting items to be donated in February/March. Your support during these fundraising efforts are greatly appreciated, here and in Ghana.
Thank you, Mr Garth.
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 .
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.
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.
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!
Year four got the unique opportunity to perform with lots of other children from across the City at The Lighthouse today. A rock band to accompany them gave them the ideal chance to show what they have learnt with Mr Storey over the past year.
James from ‘Free the Children ‘ came to school today to tell us about the organisation he works for. He told us the story of how it was set up in 1995 by some twelve year olds who knew they could make a difference to the world .He showed us a couple of films and inspired us to all make a difference.

Nursery and Reception did a fantastic job racing today – well done! We had such a fun day with races including: superhero, running, teddy bear, jumping and egg and spoon. Thank you for all the support shown by mums, dads, nans, grandads and other family members who were able to make it. Photographs to follow in our EYFS summer gallery tomorrow and videos will be uploaded onto the vault.
All pupils in KS1 have been taking part in a sports competition this month. First, they are competing against each other (Level 1 competition) to see who is the best at balancing, bouncing, catching, launching, pitching, striking and skipping. Each child receives a total scores for all of the above skills combined.
These scores are then sent off to the Liverpool School Sports Partnership, who takes in results from all participating schools across Liverpool (Level 2 competition). Then, individual and school winners will be announced.
We have four individual winners from each of our KS1 classes:
Mrs Bowcock’s class: Aaliyah = 117
Mrs McCarty’s class: Luke = 82
Miss Hughes’ class: Evie = 102
Miss Kennedy’s class: Tope = 104

Key Stage One sports day will take place at 9.30am on Tuesday 30th June. Your child has received a letter to remind them of what team they are in and the colour of their t-shirts. If you can not provide your child with a t-shirt just let a member of the Key Stage One team know and we will provide your child with a wrist band to represent their team.
Children from across Key Stage One have been selected to take part in a performance in the Philharmonic Hall. The performance will take place on Monday 29th June 2015. We have already received most of the permission slips back, thank you for your co-operation. Your child will not need a packed lunch as school will provide them with one. You may want to provide them with a cold drink as it does get a little hot in the hall!
Just a reminder that tomorrow is own clothes day and all donations made will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Our Nursery and Reception children visited Crosby beach and marina today. We had so much fun searching for treasure, visiting the iron men, playing football, exploring the adventure park and enjoying a picnic in the park. The sun even made an appearance for us! Here are some photographs from today but please visit our Foundation Stage summer page to see more.
