Celebrating Difference , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 15th Mar 2016 @ 10:34pm
Today's worship was all about how we look different on the outside but are all the same on the inside. I brought in some eggs from my kitchen and we discussed how they were all different colours. I asked for volunteers to come up and crack the eggs. What the children very clearly saw was that we can all be different on the outside but on the inside we are all the same.

What a fantastic start to Waste Week. All the classes went out today to collect the rubbish around school. The children were shocked at how much rubbish they collected in such a short space of time.

Primary Enterprise Challenge , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 14th Feb 2016 @ 10:05pm
On Friday, while most of you had a lie in, I took 10 of our year five children to St Helens Chamber to the Primary Enterprise Challenge. The children took part in a competition based on a game. The game was very much like Monopoly but has a 'business' twist. The children had to purchase assets, deliver goods, work out transport and insurance cost as well as buying and selling. There was an awful lot to think about. I was so impressed with both of our teams. Their behaviour was impeccable and I was extremely proud. Then they announced the winners!! Our team from Q5 came 3rd out of 9 schools. They did brilliantly. Well done.

Happy Chinese New Year everybody. The children learned all about the year of the Monkey today and developed an insight of how the Chinese celebrate their new year. I have attached the powerpoint from our worship today so you can learn all about the different animals and their significance too.
Invisible Neighbours , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 1st Feb 2016 @ 10:11pm
We have been extremely lucky to have had a picture in our school today from an exhibition that is in St Helens from 24th January - 7th February. The exhibition is called 'Nomads - invisible neighbours'. Each class went to the community room and visited the painting. The children were fascinated with the detail and colours in the painting. All week in our worship sessions and through our PHSE, we will be looking at homelessness and how we can help.
Thank you to Emma Howarth, Matthew and Daniel's mum for giving us this opportunity.

She asked for a volunteer from Reception to help her teach some of our teaching assistants. Look at how pleased he was with his achievement.

What a busy week!, by Mrs Kellett
Date: 10th Jan 2016 @ 2:57pm
What a fantastically busy week the children have had. It started with a fantastic performance of Dick Whittington in our hall. The children have taken part in Samba, Ukelele, Brass, Clarinet workshops all led by St Helens Music Service. Alongside these workshops, our teachers have planned lots of themed activities linked to the Arts. On Wednesday we had a 'Salad' day! This is short for 'Speaking and Listening all day' The children loved it and thought they were getting away with doing hardly any work all day.... They were wrong! The teachers planned P4C activities (philosophy for children) where they had to ask and answer 'Big Questions' relating to topical events.
Phew!! Let's hope next week is as sucessful!
