Year 5 – Croxteth Country Park Visit (Part 3)
As part of their Science learning on animal life cycles and key life processes, Year 5 had a wonderful visit to Croxteth Country Park Farm. The children explored how animals are cared for at every stage of their development and even had the opportunity to get hands-on, assisting with some of the daily tasks involved in nurturing healthy, thriving animals.
In addition to their time on the farm, the children also enjoyed a guided tour of the stunning Victorian Walled Gardens at Croxteth Manor House. Here, they learned about a variety of flowers and plants, using their observations as inspiration for sketching and descriptive writing activities in English.
A memorable and enriching experience all round!

Walking with Jesus Through Holy Week – Year 5 and 6
This week, our Year 5 and 6 children have been busy taking part in lots of special Holy Week activities to help them prepare for Easter ✝️
They learned about The Last Supper 🍞, played fun Easter games, and took part in a lovely hand-washing liturgy 👐 to remind them of Jesus’ service and love. They also walked to Birkenhead Park, carrying a cross just like Jesus did ➕, and designed their own beautiful candles to get ready for Holy Saturday
There’s been lots of time to think, pray and reflect on the true meaning of Easter – a time of hope, love and new life ✨

Year 5’s trip to Croxteth Country Park Farm, where we learnt all about the life processes of the different animals on the farm and then got to interact with the animals (helping the farmers to feed and groom them).
We also visited a special, walled garden, which was attached to Croxteth Hall and was just like the magical garden we have been reading about in ‘Tom’s Midnight Garden’.

Enterprise Day 2024 - how we spent our hard earned profit 📈, by Mrs Harris
Date: 10th Feb 2024 @ 6:58pm
Year 3 raised a total of £43.75 during our enterprise afternoon! The children decided to buy books and stationery. Each class now has a set of 8 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' books and a stacking pencil each.
From planning to making, advertising to selling, the children had a great time building their enterprise skills, which I'm sure will help them in the future.
Thank you to all the children in OLSE for supporting Year 3!
