What a joyful afternoon year 3 have had!

Elf Day, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 4th Dec 2023 @ 1:10pm
Year 1 have been busy getting ready for Christmas and Advent. We decorated our Christmas tree last week in preparation for December 1st. Luckily for us, the first day of December was also Elf Day. The children looked amazing in their elf costumes and accessories. We finger painted Christmas stockings, made elf hats and enjoyed lots of songs and dances in the afternoon. We raised lots of money for Alzheimer's and had lots of fun! Thanks for your continued support.
Year 6 - First Advent Candle, by Mrs Harris
Date: 4th Dec 2023 @ 11:33am
For this morning's Liturgical Prayer, Year 6 lit their first Advent candle on their wreath. The first candle is purple and represents hope. The reading was from Mark's Gospel and the message was 'Stay Awake, Be Ready' for we do not know the hour when the Lord is coming. We hope you follow us on our journey through Advent. You can do this by joining us at our Advent Mass tomorrow at 9.30am in Our Lady's Church. Thank you for your continued support, Miss Flynn.

Year 3M had fun putting all of their hard work on column addition into practice today. From sometimes true, always true and never true investigative statements to finding the odd one out challenges, the children worked amazingly together to crack some tricky codes! They also had fun discovering that square numbers actually make the shape of a square when made with counters!

Odd Socks Day, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 22nd Nov 2023 @ 5:49pm
The children wore odd socks last week to celebrate our differences. We talked about how we are all unique and that nobody should be bullied for being different to somebody else. Anti-bullying week this year focused on 'making a noise' and using our voices when we see, hear or experience any form of bullying. We listened to some great songs by Andy and the Odd Socks and celebrated our differences.
Children in Need, by Mrs Schultz

We wore spots and raised lots! Well done Year 1 for supporting Children in Need last week. We donned our best spots and stripes, and had an day of fun last Friday. The children finger painted Pudsey's bandana, had a colouring competition, coloured by numbers, completed some Pudsey themed Maths work and enjoyed some lovely cakes from the cake sale of course!
Birkenhead Park, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 22nd Nov 2023 @ 5:24pm
Year 1 had a great time visiting Birkenhead Park. We looked at the signs of Autumn and learned a lot about the wildlife in the park. The children collected leaves, acorns, conkers and fir cones to bring back to school. We talked about the seeds from the trees and why some trees stay green right through the Winter, when others lose their leaves. We watched the squirrels and the ducks, and talked about what they eat. The Park Ranger, Hannah, told us all about the roles of a Ranger and we helped her to feed the ducks (and the pigeons!). We had a great time exploring the park and taking on the role of a Park Keeper (Ranger) just like Percy the Park Keeper in our English work.
