As part of our Autumn Geography topic on coasts, we visited Thurstaston Beach.
We took part in a variety of activities including building our own sea defences, observing the effects of coastal erosion and sampling water quality.
"I learnt that when the waves hit the cliffs, they begin to erode." Ava
"I learnt that the plant's roots can help to protect from coastal erosion." Oliver
EYFS, Y1, Y2, Y3 & Y4 - Chester Zoo Visit
Date: 10th Jun 2024 @ 11:00am
We all spent the day visiting Chester Zoo as part of our work in Science
Year 3 & 4 - Our Science topic was all about grouping animals. As we explored the zoo we looked out for mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians and invertebrates. We were very lucky to see so many animals in the good weather.
"My favourite animals were the penguins, they were so funny to watch" - Anthony Y4
"I really loved seeing the Andean Bear eat fruit from the top of the tree" - Maisie Y4

We made series and parallel circuits to investigate the effect on the bulb
"We had to make sure that the bulb and battery were connected in a circuit to make the light turn on" - Kayden
"Ours didn't work at first, so we had to do some problem solving to test which part of the circuit was faulty. It was the bulb" - Mia
Y3 - Residential Catalyst Museum
Date: 20th May 2024 @ 11:19am
On Thursday 2nd May we took a trip to the Catalyst Museum in Widnes,
We took part in some orienteering, outdoor games and sound hunting before entering the museum galleries to learn more about our Science topics.
Then we had a workshop where we made soap whilst learning about the history of the Gossage's soap factory that the Catalyst is built in.
After dinner and watching 'Night at the Museum' we settled down for the night in the Observatory gallery.
On Friday we took part in a Fantastic Light show before venturing back to school.
"I really enjoyed making my soap to take home" - Annie
"I thought I would be a bit afraid of sleeping at the top, but it was great fun" - Henry
