We were very lucky to have a ‘Classroom cookery’ session this half term. Mr Devaney helped to us to prepare a traffic light salad. The best part was when we got to eat the salad! We also learnt about kitchen hygiene and keeping healthy.
In our Art topic this half term we have been studying the artist Wassily Kandinsky. We looked at his work and produced our own interpretations of some of his art work. We also investigated colour mixing and colour studies.
We decided to link our Design Technology with our Geography topic ‘Where does our food come from?’ and make the traditional Liverpool dish ‘Scouse’ We really enjoyed peeling and chopping the vegetables but our favourite part was getting to eat the ‘Scouse’ at then end of the day.
We have been using lots of different apparatus to help support our learning in maths lessons.
In R.E. we have been looking at the importance of the Bible. Father Hughes came in to talk to us about why the Bible is so important to Christians.

We had a fantastic time on our school trip to Chester Zoo. We enjoyed learning about all the animals and everyone behaved really well. A big thank you to all our ‘happy helpers’ who came with us.
Altru Drama
Altru Drama came into school for anti-bullying week. They looked at the different types of bullying and what we should do if we are being bullied or if someone we know is being bullied. We know how important it is to be kind to everyone and always show others respect.
