A Midsummer Night's Dream
Fri 05 Jun 2015We have been invited to the Everyman Theatre on Thursday 11th June at 2.30pm to watch a production of a 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. This will be performed by a variety of children from different schools who have taken part in a workshop to create scenes from the play.
This will be a free event and should be very exciting and inspirational for our children.
If you and your child would like to join us to walk to the Everyman at 2pm, please sign the form, which is at reception with Alice.
We will leave school at 2pm and walk straight to the theatre, where the show will last around an hour.
If you have any questions regarding this, please speak to Miss Johnston.

International Dance Day- April 2015
Thu 07 May 2015International Dance Day was a huge success. The children really enjoyed it and were exhausted by home time, some even fell asleep in the hall at the end of the day!
We loved having Donna and Helene over from 'big' LIPA and the children showed off their dancing and singing skills to them.
I have attached lots of pictures from International Dance Day to our Reception class pages and I hope you enjoy looking at them.
The children learnt lots of styles of dance including Chinese, Bollywood, Street, Flamenco, Ribbon and even party dances!! They also took part in 'making marks to music' which everybody enjoyed.
Thank you for your support with the children's outfits on the day, they really looked the part.

E-Safety Visit
Tue 05 May 2015We had Paul Bradshaw from Liverpool Local Authority visit the school in April to talk to the children and parents about E-Safety.
Tablets, computers and such like provide us with a range of exciting opportunities to develop children's learning however Paul's input was excellent in highlighting the dangers of the internet and how we can all ensure that children develop their skills to use it safely.
Paul's excellent Powerpoint resource and the NSPCC's booklet 'Helping to Keep your Child Safe Online booklet' can be found in the E-Safety section of our website.

Children's artwork in the frame!
Tue 07 Apr 2015Our Reception pupils were excited to see the unveiling of four very special pieces of artwork on Thursday 19 March.
Local artist Allen Heron, whose granddaughter Annie attends the school, helped Head Teacher Greg Parker select the winning designs by Violet, Arvo, Niamh and Finola from a series of work produced by the children on the theme of 'Our City'. Allen was then commissioned to recreate the winning pictures on a large scale, with the finished canvases being hung in the school library.
Allen, who has previously completed work for Mayor Anderson and several community-focused projects, said "You cannot believe the amount of detail that was in these pictures - recreating them was one of the hardest things I've ever done!"
Head Teacher Greg Parker said "We are delighted to unveil Allen's versions of our children's artwork, which have really brightened up the school. We are now looking forward to working with him on our next project, when he will help the children explore themes around culture and the world around us through artwork to decorate our underground play area."

Boats for the Gingerbread man
Fri 30 Jan 2015The homework for this weekend is to make a boat for the Gingerbread man to cross the water. We will test some of these boats in the water tray and then we will be looking at floating and sinking during continuous provision. Don't worry if your boat isn't waterproof we will take a picture of it rather than putting it in the water!This week we will be continuing to focus on 'We are going on a bear hunt', the children will be making their own versions of the story and looking at poetry to support their story.At the end of the week we will be having a teddy bear picnic so if all children could bring a teddy bear into school on Friday that would be great.The children have made lots of progress with their adding skills and so this week we will be moving onto shape and looking at 2d and 3d shapes. If you have any cardboard boxes in different 3d shapes, we will also be making robots during the week and looking at the shapes we have used.Thank you for your continued support and your amazing creative ideas for the project work each weekend.Miss Johnston and Miss Yates
