We are going on a bear hunt...
Wed 21 Jan 2015This week we have been reading lots of fairytales including Hansel and Gretel. The homework this week is to create your own Gingerbread house. You can use any junk materials or even real food such as pasta, rice and sweet wrappers etc.
Next week we will be going on our very own bear hunt around the garden. This has come from the children's interests in bears and teddy bears. We will be learning facts about bears and looking at non-fiction texts. We will also be creating our own versions of hunts such as 'going on a dragon hunt'.
In maths we will be continuing our work on addition and supporting the children to become more independent with this skill.
We are focusing on handwriting and fine motor skills everyday so please help your child to hold their pencil correctly and this will support their letter shapes.
Have fun!

The LIPA Fairy tale
Wed 14 Jan 2015The homework this week is to create your own fairy tale character using recycled materials- it could be anything from a princess, a knight, a frog or even a wizard. Can your child describe which materials they have used to make their character?
We will be focusing on rhythm and rhyming words during our Project Based Learning sessions. The characters will be used during these sessions to create our own fairy tale songs.
During maths we will be developing skills of addition by combining two sets of objects to solve a problem. We are excited to learn how to write our own number sentences.
Have fun!

Admissions Deadline for Reception Places is 15 January 2015
Wed 07 Jan 2015After the success of our Open Evenings in October and December for parents of children due to start Reception in September 2015, we just wanted to remind everyone that the deadline for applying for Reception places is fast approaching - Thursday 15 January 2015.
As we are part of Liverpool City Council's co-ordinated admissions arrangements for Reception school places, all parents seeking a place for their child to start at LIPA Primary School in September 2015 will need to complete the online application at www.liverpool.gov.uk/admissions and submit it by this closing date.
We will be delighted to answer any questions about the admissions process or LIPA Primary School itself - simply contact our School Reception on 0151 958 0020 (Monday-Friday, 8.30am-4pm).
Please note that the decision to allocate school places lies solely in the hands of Liverpool City Council, and as such, we are unable to give any information about the progress of applications for a place at our school.
Decisions on school places will be communicated to parents directly by Liverpool City Council on Thursday 16 April 2015.

VIDEO: Free school stories: LIPA Primary School
Mon 03 Nov 2014VIDEO: Free school stories: LIPA Primary School
Free schools are new independent state schools. Charities, groups of teachers, existing schools and parents can set up these new schools if they can prove that they are needed and wanted by a local community. Free schools are set up for many different reasons so New Schools Network followed six as they got ready to open for the first time this September. This is the story of LIPA Primary School.
Right in the heart of one of the UK’s cultural capitals, LIPA Primary School is offering parents a very creative alternative to the usual primary experience.
The school is sponsored by the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) – a centre of excellence for the performing arts, which was co-founded by Sir Paul McCartney – and Edge Hill University, a leading provider of teacher training.
Drawing on its freedoms as a free school, LIPA Primary School teaches its pupils through a curriculum based around projects and events, rather than individual subjects. This is brought to life through the world class facilities at LIPA and strong links with arts organisations across the city.
This makes the school very different to what’s already on offer in Liverpool but the school isn’t just about offering parents more choice. It’s also helping to meet a real need for new primary school places, right in the middle of this fast growing city.
So far, this is proving very popular – with the school already well oversubscribed for its first and second years of opening.
