Today we visited Formby Beach as part of our topic ‘Can we help save our Oceans?’ The children enjoyed having a picnic, relaxing, digging, playing football, frisbee and cricket. We went on a walk to find some Red Squirrels but unfortunately, our little legs didn’t get us there so we enjoyed a country walk around the National Trust park. We also enjoyed ice lolly’s courtesy of our PTFA, thank you! We had a lovely day out and all the fresh air has tired us out! Thank you to our parent helpers and staff who supported our visit! 

Wow Year 3 you are still working super hard. This week we've had Head Teacher's Awards for brilliant work in history and computing, Good to be Green pencils for following our school rule. Some children collected 170 star points and achieved Gold Awards. We also have a Handwriting Champion and Vocabulary Ninja. Well done! You make us proud.

2Boards and A Passion Theatre company 2boardsandapassion, touring theatre company, theatre in education, Mcr (2baap.co.uk) came in yesterday and led a drama workshop for year 6 about transition.

After a few warm up games, the children drafted ideas and role played the worst first day ever at high school. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong...badly! We had bus crashes, lie-ins, missing homework and bullying to name a few! Not to mention the teachers who just didn't care!

Year 6 took part in an online assembly with the 'Be Internet Legends' yesterday. 

They shared lots of important information about how to stay safe using the internet and shared networks at secondary school. 

Please see the following information for guardians about how to support your children: Online Safety Tips for Parents - Be Internet Legends

Today in science, we enjoyed the warm weather by exploring large and small habitats. We used our school field (large habitat) to look for microhabitats and minibeasts that live there. The children created a bar chart to show which minibeasts they saw. We then share some of the different microhabitats we found on the school field. They found minibeasts under stones or rocks, between the grass, inside wooden logs, under and on leaves, in dark places like soil and in the flowers.

What a brillliant day Year 5 had at Rayner Stephens!  They were invited to take part in a "Taster Day" where they did four different sessions.  They used table braces and saws in D&T to create their own designs and in Science they used the bunsen burners to explore the colours of different salts!  Using such equipment meant they had to be safe and sensible at all times.
