Formby Beach Visit

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! 


Microhabitats

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.


Summer Fair

Thank you to everyone for joining us and supporting us on our summer fair. We had the good weather, great games, lovely food and plenty of fun. Thank you to the PTFA for their support too! We will share our total soon, but this will go to improving our libraries.

Come Dine with Me

This week we are celebrating Design and Technology week (Come Dine with Me) throughout the school. The children have the task of ‘Creating a healthy meal / dish for under £5.00.’ The children have been put into small groups within their year group to plan, make and evaluate their meal / dish. In Year 2, the children decided on a theme, ‘Omelettes.’ The children had to research Omelettes and decided in their groups on 5 ingredients to put into their dish.
