Children in Need 2024, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 15th Nov 2024 @ 4:10pm
Today, we supported 'Children in Need'. The children wore stripes, spots, bright colours or Children in Need themed clothes in their support of the charity. We have learned why we raise money and where our money goes. The children had Pudsey Bear themed activities this afternoon, a cake sale and of course, the famous colouring competition. The entries for the colouring competition were amazing, well done to all those that entered. A very special well done to the winner in Year 1JS, whose design was very creative! On a day where we're all wearing Pudsey clothes, Lucca's Pudsey was wearing an 'Our Lady's' uniform! Lucca won a giant art set to continue his passion for art at home. Thanks as always for your continued support, we're looking forward to hearing the total money raised for Children in Need.

Well done to all the Year 1 children for supporting anti-bullying week. This year's theme is 'Respect'. We have talked about how we should respect others by being kind and using kind words. The children have been wearing odd socks all week to celebrate all our differences and have decorated 'kindness socks' to show ways that we can be respectful to others. Great work Year 1!

During Anti- Bullying Week, Year Two enjoyed discussing ways in which we can be kind to each other, celebrate differences and support one another.
We then chose our favourite ways to show kindness and wrote them onto our 'odd socks' to hang in our classrooms as a reminder.

Remembrance Day, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 13th Nov 2024 @ 12:57pm
Year 1 have been remembering the soldiers, past and present, and all the other people and animals that have helped, supported and defended our country. Barney brought in a photograph of his Uncle and his medals to show us. We talked about the bravery of the soldiers, and had a discussion about the army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force and how they protect the land, sea and air. We watched a CBeebies video that showed us how all were affected by the wars, and how the first flowers to grow on the fields were poppies. We then coloured in some poppies, cut them out and displayed them in wreaths. The children worked in teams to make their wreaths and we displayed them in our classroom window in time for Remembrance Day. On 11.11.24, at 11am, we observed the 2 minute silence. The children were very respectful and we finished with a prayer.

Birkenhead Park Trip, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 6th Nov 2024 @ 5:22pm
Year 1 went to Birkenhead Park this afternoon to look for signs of Autumn. The children used maps drawn by the Year 6 children in Geography to help find our way to the park safely. We met with the Park Ranger, Hannah, who showed us some of the signs of Autumn. The children looked at the leaves, examined sycamore seeds and collected some other items to bring back to school. They found out that the seeds from a sycamore tree are shaped like helicopters, so they fly further from the parent tree. This helps them to get more light, water and space to grow. We then made our way further down the path, where we saw lots of colourful trees. The children saw red, brown, yellow and orange leaves. The children then had the opportunity to feed the ducks and watch the squirrels. Some of the pigeons were accidentally fed too! After that, we visited the boathouse, where the children learned of its history. They heard about how Joseph Paxton designed the park and was also an inspiration to many other park designers, including those that designed Central Park in New York! We passed the Swiss bridge on the way back and had a look at the colourful design. This will help with our Design Technology work this half term. The children enjoyed their afternoon exploring the park and linked lots of our previous learning to their visit today. Well done Year 1!
Bonfire night in F1, by Miss Fisher
Date: 6th Nov 2024 @ 1:07pm
We marked the celebration of bonfire night, we talked about how we can keep ourselves safe during this time, wearing gloves or holding a carrott for sparklers, staying with a grown up and making sure we dont get too close to the fire.
We created our own firework pictures, talking about the colours and the souds which they would make, we made marks in the rice to represent fireworks.
We then created our own sparklers with a breadsticks, chocolate and sprinkles. They went down a treat!!
Today we have shared our expereinces with our friends.

Month of the Rosary, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 24th Oct 2024 @ 12:38am
The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. It's a special time devoted to praying the Rosary. The children have been learning how Rosary beads are used when praying, to bring us closer to Jesus. Each group of beads represent different parts of the Rosary prayer. We passed around the beads so that the children could look more closely at them. We practised the 'Our Father' prayer and the children were given the opportunity to cut out a bead of their own. We then placed them in a prayer circle, making our own Rosary bead string. The children said their own prayers as they placed down each bead and we finished by singing and signing a version of the 'Hail Mary' prayer.
Geography Field Trip, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 24th Oct 2024 @ 12:19am
In Geography this term, the children have been learning all about our town, Birkenhead. We have been learning why postcodes are important and using maps to study the areas in and around our school. We have discussed different ways of travelling to school and mapped out dangers to pedestrians like railway lines, rivers and roads. We then learned that there are different types of housing, such as detached, terraced, semi-detached and flats. We discovered through location and observational skills that Birkenhead housing is mostly made up of terraced houses and flats and discussed why. The children loved finding the different types of houses on a map of our local area. We then discussed what amenities a town should have i.e. shops, places of worship, parks etc. Yesterday, the children went for a short walk to find out what the area around our school has to offer. They followed a route on a map, and stopped by different checkpoints to observe the different types of shops, factories, houses and other places available in the area. They used their knowledge of the local dangers to help them to stay safe near the roads and even recalled our Science work when they spotted some stinging nettles on their route! The children posted some postcards that they had made at the start of the topic in the local post box. Some have 1st class stamps and some have 2nd class stamps. They are excited to see them return back to the school, after watching videos of how our post is sorted. We made a prediction, guessing which postcards will return first. We returned back to school and filled in an obervation sheet to show our findings. The children were very polite and very observant on our field trip- they were a credit to the school. Well done Year 1 Geographers!
