First week of Summer term and the children have settled back in very well!

'Delivering Mary's Meals' Lenten Fundraiser event : 27th March 2025
Date: 28th Mar 2025 @ 9:09pm
The children enjoyed an active and fun filled afternoon delivering 'meal tickets' to different locations around the school field.
Each location was marked with a flag that linked to one of four countries: Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
These countries are the focus of Mary's Meals current Emergency appeal - people here are experiencing the worst drought in 100 years.
Also at each country base on the field, was a post box for the meal tickets being delivered by the children.
Each ticket delivered was marked on the children's individual delivery cards by an adult posted at the station.
Donations have been made across the school by children and staff to support this special event, raising over £325! Well done everybody!

Date: 21st Mar 2025 @ 4:19pm
We have had a very busy week in the Rainbow Unit this week. We have been building towers, grouping the same colours together and some children have been working hard on recognising numbers. We have also been practicing our fine motor skills with some bead threading and using the peg boards (this is one of the children’s favourite activities!)
With the warmer weather, all of the children have enjoyed some time outside and we have even had part of our sensory circuit in our outside area. Some of the children have been showing some great sharing skills and turn taking as they have been pushing the cars down the ramp together. We have even employed our own window cleaner 😂
We hope you have a lovely weekend!

Year 5 had a fantastic day visiting Jodrell Bank. They took part in a variety of activities and learned so many new things about space.
WP- I couldn't believe the size of the telescope, it was huge.
JK- The whispering dishes were amazing, it was so strange how whispering could travel so far.
JB- The Space Dome theatre was the best. It was amazing pretending we were in a rocket flying through space and having a view of everything around us.
CAFOD Lent Family Fast Day - Friday 14th March 2025
Date: 15th Mar 2025 @ 9:38pm
In our whole school Celebration of the Word at the start of the day, we prayed for all those in need at at this time.
We shared the importance of CAFOD's Family Fast day and the link to our Lenten promises.
At lunchtime a large group of KS2 pupils chose to share in a 'simple lunch' of soup, bread and fruit, instead of their usual hot dinner.
Several children also brought in a simple packed lunch so that they could also participate.
We were joined by some of our governors and staff as we sat together to share the meal.
Thank you and well done to all of the pupils involved. It is lovely to see growing numbers with each 'simple lunch' that we hold.
We hope that this special event will continue to be a feature on each CAFOD Fast day - both at Harvest time in October and during Lent.

This week, the children have really enjoyed exploring different parts of our transport topic.

A team of year 2's had a fantastic morning playing in a football competition at the LFC Academy. Although they didn't see any Liverpool players, they had a great time competing against 9 other schools. They did our school proud showing great sportsmanship and determination during all games.

Y5CG had a great morning for World Book Day. They worked with their adults to take on a variety of different reading challenges and activities whilst they were all dressed as their favourite people from books they love to read.
MP- I loved the mystery reading challenge were we had to read a profile and then figure out who stole an item. We figured it out quite quickly!
JB- I loved designing my own gift card for my book store.
VP- I enjoyed the comprehension task were me and my mum read to each other and asked each other questions to make sure the person listening was taking in what they were being read to.
Year 4 trip to the Discovery Centre
Date: 11th Mar 2025 @ 9:16am
Year 4 had a trip to the recycling centre where we learnt how to properly recycle items, how each material is separated and where in the UK it goes to. We learnt how important it is to recycle and why it is important to only put the correct items in the bin. We were able to understand how magnets were used in the centre and linked this to our topic of 'Forces and Magnets.'
We enjoyed exploring the centre and even taking part in some fun activities including: sorting materials, reading, recycling twister, recycling connect 4 and more!
Date: 11th Mar 2025 @ 9:15am
In our PE lesson this week, we focussed on the skill of defending and completed a variety of drills for this including throwing and catching drills and piggy in the middle. At the end of the lesson we put these into practise in mini team games and even set different challenges for each games including a certain number of passes and making sure every member of the team touched the ball before scoring a goal.
We then evaluated our performances and adapted what we did based on this.
These are some of the things we said:
"I think we worked collaboratively together."
"It was hard to know who the ball was going to so next time I will shout the name of the person I am throwing to."
"We made sure everyone in our team had a turn."
KS1 Child led Collective Worship - Lent (6th March 2025)
Date: 10th Mar 2025 @ 11:16am
The children in Year One helped to plan a celebration of the Word for Reception and Year two on the theme of Lent.
After our Ash Wednesday service yesterday everybody knows how important this special season is for Christians.
We chose the scripture about Jesus in the desert to remind us about why there are 40 days of Lent.
It was good to remind the other children about what they can do themselves during Lent. We have all been learning about this in RE too.
Our mission at the end of our celebration is to help, along with the rest of the school, to really make a difference to the lives of others this Lent.
Here are some of our thoughts after the celebration:
"It made me want to help people." - Harper
"I felt quiet in worship." - Matthew
"We know our Gather responses much better now!" - Jonas
"Today it made me feel proud of being a Christian." - Kit
"I will do extra prayers in Lent" - Zach
"We will do more good things and extra thinking." - Delilah
"We could sing 'Come and join the circle' next time." - Polly
Date: 7th Mar 2025 @ 10:08am
For World Book Day we had a lovely time and even had some of our adults come in to join us. In the morning, we had a reading morning where we completed a number of activities including:
A villains wanted poster
A reading fortune teller
Book recommendations
Reading doodles
We also created masks to be a 'Masked Reader.'
In maths, we completed some Roald Dahl problem solving activities to practise what we had learnt so far this year.
Mary's Meals - A visit from Anna Houghton
Date: 6th Mar 2025 @ 8:52pm
Today we were visited by Anna from Mary's Meals.
Anna spent time with all of the the children to explain all about the important work of the charity in providing hungry children with meals.
We saw on the map the sixteen different countries in which they are working hard to help feed children.
During Lent, our school family have pledged to support Mary's Meals and do what we can to share our love, prayers, time and effort just like Jesus did.
We hope that we can share information with our families and friends about this incredible charity and help to raise some money to pay for meals.
To feed a child one meal costs just 10p. Let's see how many meals we can pay for!
Each classroom has a collection pot for any coins you may like to donate over the coming weeks.
We are also planning an exciting fundraiser at the end of the March too.
Painting the Last Supper in Year 4 and 5
Date: 27th Feb 2025 @ 2:34pm
In our Religious Education lesson we described what happened at the Last Supper and why it was significant. We talked about how the events of the Exodus where celebrated each year in Jesus' life but why this time was different. We talked about how he introduced something quite new as he blessed, broke and passed the unleavened bread to everyone, telling them it was his body and then the cup of wine saying it was his blood and that it would be shed, be sacrificed, for everyone and that he asked that they repeat his actions in memory of him.
We then looked at different artists representations of the Last Supper and talked about the similarities and differences of these. We then talked about these and used some of these ideas and techniques when we created our own representations of the Last Supper using water colours.
