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!

Road Safety, by Mrs Harris

Wirral has a new road safety scheme starting ???

Our Lady and St Edward's Catholic Primary School are signing up to the scheme to keep us all as safe as possible when coming to and leaving school ?

We would love our families to help and support us by parking safely at all times ??

• please do not stop or park on the zig zags - it’s illegal to park on yellow zig-zag lines anywhere ?

• please do not stop or park in or over the entrance to the staff car park - this is very dangerous as children cross here and you will obstruct any emergency vehicle attempting to access the school ?

• please do not stop or park over the driveways of local residents ?

• please do not stop or park in or over the entrance to AIR SEA CONTAINERS - the entrance is regularly used by AIR SEA CONTAINERS and you will obstruct any emergency vehicle attempting to access the building ?

Date: 20th May 2022 @ 6:02pm

The children in F2W have had a fun filled day celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We started our day by showing off our fabulous party clothes and reading stories to learn about our Queen. The children then enjoyed joining in with lots of different Royal themed activities such as making red, white and blue iced biscuits, posting letters to the Queen, drawing portraits of the Royal Family, designing their own money, making bunting and so much more!

The children enjoyed a lovely royal lunch together and went outside to sing the national anthem – we even had a special visitor join us!

Hi all,

Just to let you know that the application process for Wirral U11/U10's Boys and U11 Girls football trials has switched to online this year and is already open. All the information and forms can be found on our Twitter account @Wirral PSFA.

A link to the application form:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSen8S9bs0J_HKspwXVl91DnsK9vt4MnujlJAqLrasELnewgBw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Grateful if you could make the children, who you feel can play at the standard required to represent Wirral at local and national level, and their parents aware of the form.

The closing date for the Girls team is the 3rd May and the Boys teams 6th May, we also have to limit the number of players attending each session at Stage 1.

We will be running an U10s Boys Team, U11s Boys Team and U11s Girls Team. This means that the process is open to children who are currently in Year 4 and Year 5 (Year 5 and Year 6 next academic year).

Many thanks
