Y2 Come and Share- Thursday 6th October, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 7th Oct 2022 @ 11:25pm
In Year 2, we were extremely lucky to have recruited some parent (and grand parent!) helpers for our 'Come and Share' pottery making. We had a lovely morning making plates, bowls and pots in the style of the Della Robbia collection- originally founded in a pottery factory in Birkenhead. Everyone worked so hard and the results were amazing! We can't wait to paint our masterpieces. Thank you so much to everyone who came to support the children, it was lovely to welcome you all to our classrooms.

PSHE- Values, money and me, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 29th Sep 2022 @ 11:53pm
In Year 2 we have been exploring objects in our own life. Last week, the children (and teachers!) brought in an object from home, such as a photo or toy that held a sentimental value. We talked about how the emotional value attached to these objects was much more important than what the item costs. The children responded very well and must have remembered what they had learned as they wouldn't even sell their objects to their teachers for £100! Their favourite sentence of the day was, 'It's too precious to me'. Well done Year 2!

Year 2 had the best day yesterday! We spent the first part of the morning making dens, building towers, chalk writing, bubble blowing, water painting, game playing and much, much more! We then went inside to play some games and relax in the shade. After lunch, the children had the chance to 'splat' a teacher with a water balloon! They looked far too excited for this part! We then had a mindfulness afternoon with a cooling foot spa! We finished off the day with an ice cream parlour! What a fantastic way to end the best year!

Y1 Trip to New Brighton, by Mr Chamberlain
Date: 15th Jul 2022 @ 2:49pm
Year 1 had a wonderful trip to New Brighton! We were very lucky to go inside Fort Perch Rock and learn some history about the Fort. We then went to The Tower Grounds and saw where New Brighton Tower used to be and where the Black Pearl used to be, we made amazing sketches of what it used to look like! Then we went down the prom and into Vale Park, where we had a lovely lunch on the grass before exploring the fairy gardens and going on a fairy hunt.
Thanks to all the amazing staff and parent helpers for your hard work today, and to the amazing children for being so well behaved.

Seed dispersal in Science, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 11th Jul 2022 @ 11:54pm
In Science, we have been learning about seeds. We looked at how seeds are dispersed from some plants. In groups, we filled balloons with seeds, We then blew them up, tied them carefully and took them outside to our planters. We then popped each balloon to show the seed dispersal process! It was lots of fun, and with a bit of luck we could have some lovely flowers growing in our planters over the Summer.
Sketching Stained Glass Windows at Our Lady's Church, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 11th Jul 2022 @ 11:49pm
Today, Year 2 visited Our Lady's church to look closely at the stained glass windows. We discovered that there are different types of stained glass window- modern and traditional. We also learnt the names for the different shapes of stained glass windows- rose, lancet and quatrefoil. After walking around, disovering all the windows of the church, we chose our favourite window to draw in our Art sketchbooks. We hope to paint them in our next art lesson. Thank you to Father Michael for welcoming us this afternoon.
F2 , by Miss Kealey
Date: 8th Jul 2022 @ 6:10pm
During the Summer Term, F2 have been learning all about the ocean - from under the sea to the seashore! They have learnt some interesting facts about sea creatures, their homes and how to keep safe at the seaside.
We ended our topic by turning our playground into our very own beach! The children thoroughly enjoyed spending the afternoon all together as a year group joining in with all the different seaside activities.
We made sandcastles, relaxed in deck chairs, played beach volley ball, made out own lifeguard station/huts, build light houses and paddled in the ‘sea’ whilst our 4 super lifeguards (also known as the F2 team) watched over us to make sure we were having fun and staying safe.
We ended our afternoon by sharing our favourite parts of the topic whilst enjoying an ice -cream and keeping cool in the shade.
What a brilliant afternoon to add to our fantastic year in F2!
