We celebrated Earth Day on Monday and discussed how we can look after our wonderful world. The theme of this year's Earth Day was Planet vs Plastics, highlighting the need to phase out the use of single use plastics to protect our planet. 

Following our assemblies, children have been exploring different ways in which we can look after our planet and have shared their ideas with our Eco-Council. 

Children had a very active start to the term last week with all classes completing a mini marathon. Each class ran 2.6 miles around the school grounds and did a fantastic job.

A group of children from Years 5&6 joined other schools across Sefton by participating in a marathon relay, passing on bleed control kits from school to school. Well done to the children involved and thank you to Mrs Grant, Mr Holmes, Mr Jacques and Neil who ran with our children. 

Many thanks to everyone who sponsored their child or made a donation for this worthy cause. As we work together to keep our community safe, these kits can save lives in the event of anyone needing medical assistance. 

Mrs Molyneux was absolutely delighted with the response to the 'Eggstraordinary' History Competition. There were a staggering 120 entries! The quality of everyone’s entries was tremendous, a real testament to children’s creativity as well as their knowledge of key historical people. Well done to everyone who took part. 

Councillors from the School and Eco-Councils did a great job with the Uniform Sale, yesterday. They helped Mrs Williams to organise the clothes that had been donated and several members helped out at the sale too. Thank you children! 

We celebrated World Maths Day in school on Friday and children explored a range of activities. Each class thought very carefully about how different mathematical activities are used within our everyday lives. It was great to see children embrace a range of tasks with great enthusiasm. Well done children! 

Over the last two weeks Clive has been working with children in Year 4 to create two 'Resurrection Gardens.' These will be placed in the Churches of St Patrick's and St Marie's over the Easter period. Working together to assemble the gardens has been a terrific opportunity for our children as we approach Holy Week followed by Easter Sunday. Thank you, Clive, for giving your time so generously to work with Year 4. 

Children had a special treat on Tuesday afternoon when M&M Theatrical Productions came to school. The cast delivered a tremendous performance of 'The Railway Children' which children from all classes thoroughly enjoyed. 

We celebrated St Patrick's Day in school today, starting with a Mass this morning with Fr John. Children from Years 2-6 attended Mass and it was a very special occasion for all involved. Children enjoyed a range of activities throughout the day and it was a lovely way to end a busy week. 

A great day was had by all today as we celebrated World Book Day. School was filled with children and staff either wearing costumes of their favourite characters or pyjamas with their favourite bedtime stories. Everyone looked amazing!

Children thoroughly enjoyed a range of activities to celebrate the joys of reading and the wonders of a good book. 

Children in all year groups were fantastic in our music assemblies on Tuesday morning. Each class performed a song from their most recent unit of work and accompanied these in a variety of ways, including playing recorders and glockenspiels with some beat boxing thrown in too. All the performances were tremendous and it was wonderful to see our young musicians shine. Well done!
