Year 2 Choir at St Hilary, by Mrs Cameron-Ivanov

Date: 27th Nov 2022 @ 5:52pm

The year 2 choir have had a fantastic evening singing at St Hilary's for the Christingle Service. We sang 4 beautiful songs, and even did Makaton sign language to Silent Night. It was wonderful to see the smiles on everyone's faces as the children took to the stage. 

During the service, children also followed a star which led them to passages from The Bible which revealed parts of the nativity story. We also discovered the meaning behind the Christingle and how it symbolises Christ as the light of the world. Finally, all of the children received their own Christingle and we lit them, dimmed the lights and sang a hymn. It was beautiful.

 

Thank you to all at St Hilary's, especially Alan and Caroline.

What a wonderful way to start our festive celebrations!

Well done Year 2 Choir!

Year 1 and 2 Reading Ambassadors Visit Bear Hunt Books, by Mrs Horton

Date: 24th Nov 2022 @ 4:19pm

What a lovely afternoon year 1 and 2 reading ambassadors have had! Last week they had a meeting in their classes to discover which books the children like to read. They created a list of books to try and find at the book shop. It was great fun finding their books and they picked some extras up too. We also found some lovely Christmas story books for the children to enjoy over the Christmas period. 

Michelle, from Bear Hunt Books, was very helpful. After the children had selected all of their books she made them a lovely cup of hot chocolate and read them a stroy. 

The children loved taking their new books back to share with the children in school.

Mini Police Clock Speed of Traffic!, by Miss M Jones

Date: 22nd Nov 2022 @ 4:10pm

This afternoon, Merseyside Police imparted their traffic knowledge to our Mini Police in the form of using hand-held, radar guns to measure the speed of moving vehicles! 

We based ourselves outside Topsite, at the corner of Claremont Road and Lyndhurst Road, and waited for traffic to ascend the hill, then aimed the apparatus at oncoming vehicles! We were taught the proper way of holding the speed guns, and how to accurately clock how fast a car, van or bike travelled. 

As part of our road safety campaign, any traffic clocked going 35mph or over will be receiving a letter and a specially designed infographic from our Mini Police as a reminder of why it is important to follow the law and travel at the correct speed. 

Take a look at the pictures below!

This afternoon we have had the fantastic opportunity to watch England's opening match against Iran! After lunch, the hall was swept and cleaned ready for the roar of over two hundred little fans to erupt at kick off! Bellingham's goal made the walls boom, Saka's made the floor shake and Sterling nearly made the windows shatter! What a wonderful afternoon at topsite the hall was filled with smiles and laughter. 

We, by Miss Hughes

Our Year 3 and 4 reading ambassadors went on their very own book hunt this week to Bear Hunt books in Bebington to search high and low for new and exiciting texts for their classes. 

Earlier in the week, the reading ambassadors took over their classrooms and invited their peers to select new texts that they would like. Our ambassadors (with the help of Michelle the store owner) and teachers were able to find 15 new books for every class - that's 150 new books ??

At the end of our book hunt, we enjoyed a nice cup of hot chocolate before heading back to school and sharing our new books with our classes. 

Thank you to Bear Hunt books and Mrs Johnson for such a wonderful book hunt!
