Runners up from the St Helens Chamber competition. We were gifted with a lovely new Bug hotel for our Eco Garden. 

On February 8th, we had a fantastic workshop with AS Creatives which taught us all about how World War II started. The session was filled with information, questions, role play, freeze frames and body sculptures. 

We had a wonderful Spelling Learn and Share with our parents recently. We learnt lots of new, fun ways to learn our spellings! 

Year 6 enjoyed a Come Dine With Me experience in July. After researching key ingredients, we devised a nutritious 3-course dinner. The children then  prepared and cooked the dinner and then sat and enjoyed the meal with their friends.

Year 6 Buddies assembly - You've got a friend in me

Each Year 6 child was given a Year 1 pupil as their buddie for this school year. 

Year 6 enjoyed a fantastic workshop with Emmer last week, they have each painted a leaf which will eventually form a sculpture in our school.

Year 6 have had five "Learn to Work" sessions, since September,  with St. Helen's Chamber, culminating in the last session on March 5th - a Careers Carousel. These wonderfully planned sessions have helped to raise the aspirations of our children by encouraging them to identify their own skills and strengths and understand the different routes into both higher education and the workplace, through apprenticeships. Thank you to the local businesses who gave up their time to come and talk to our children about different careers whilst promoting and encouraging hard work, belief in themselves and their own ability and boosting their self-confidence. We were so proud of our children and their wonderfully polite and respectful attitude towards the visitors.

Feedback from St Helen's Chamber:

" It was lovely to see how confident the children were chatting to employers and showing off their fabulous manners, which many of the visitors commented on as they were leaving."

What a lot of fun we had on our recent Olympic Sports Afternoon with Progressive Sports!

We had a go at shooting, handball, hockey and boxing! 

Year 6 received their prefect roles - we know that they will be amazing. Congratulations Year 6!

The children are loving their keyboard lessons with Mr Delaney.
