We will hold our Easter Bonnet Parade for Reception, Y1 and Y2 children on Friday, 7th April from around 9.10am in the school hall. Y2 children will also share with us what Easter really means.
Families are welcome to join at this special event.
On Friday, 24th March, we will be holding 2 events for Mother’s Day:
The first for Reception, Y1 and Y2 children will begin at 9.15am and from 2.30pm, we will welcome mums of children in Y3,4,5 and 6. Both events should last around 30 minutes.
Children will deliver a short collective worship for mums before sitting down and enjoying some refreshments with their mum or gran.
We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating our mums!
Children will be taking part in investigations and experiments today to celebrate National Science Week….I hope there are no explosions!
Join Y4 in the school hall from 2.30pm to share in their learning from the current Come and See topic exploring Eucharist and Relating.
The Health Champions have rewarded children with stickers for those with healthy lunch boxes and raffle tickets were awarded to children for making healthy swaps, for example swapping a cake for a piece of fruit or sugary drinks for water. Children having hot dinners have were also rewarded for having fruit or salad with their meal.
Alistair Gill from Knowsley Schools for Health, trained the Health Champions to become Junior Chefs. The children: learned to chop and cut fruit and vegetables safely using the claw and bridge methods, studied the sugar content of various sweets and drinks (which shocked us all) and looked at the benefits to our hearts of taking regular exercise.
We made healthy strawberry and banana smoothies with Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. The children cut the fruit using the bridge and claw safety methods for chopping. We all all tasted the smoothies and most enjoyed them!

You might have just celebrated one New Year, but in few weeks’ time you’ll be able to do it all again with the Chinese New Year.
In school, Children will be learning about Chinese New Year and creating art around this year’s animal.
But when it is, and what animal is it this year?
2017 is the year of… the Rooster.
Animals from the zodiac are rotated on a cycle of 12 years, and the rooster is the tenth sign in the zodiac.
Anyone born in rooster year is said to be “confident, honest and hard working” – on the down side, they could also be attention seekers.
The Year of the Rooster begins on Saturday, January 28, 2017, and celebrations get under way the evening before – “New Year’s Eve” – on Friday, January 27
The holiday lasts for around two weeks, and are set to come to an end on Thursday, February 2.
Our cook will be preparing a Party Lunch for children on Thursday, 19th January. The cost of the lunch will be £1 for KS2 children and free to Reception and KS1 children. If you would like your child to join in the lunch with their friends, please let the teacher or office know.
