Hello, and welcome back everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful half term. It has been lovely hearing what you have all been up to over the break.

The children have got right back into nursery life.

A big well done for everyone who took part in Sports Day, it was fantastic! You all have worked so hard preparing yourselves, and we were so lucky the sun was out for us.

 The children have been playing detectives in the garden, finding lots of different mini beasts. They were looking under lots of different objects in the garden. They found spiders, spider eggs, a slug, and lots more, but we also found a magnificent butterfly that had fluffy legs and body. Take a look at the picture and see if you ca find out what kind of butterfly it is!

We have had some visitors delivered to nursery this week, five baby caterpillars for us to look after! We are all excited for what will happen to them and watch their metamorphosis. It's all very exciting.

Have a wonderful weekend and Fathers Day on Sunday.

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's blog.

I hope you all had a wonderful half-term break and got to spend some time with your friends and family.

This week has been all about Sports day and what a glorious sunny afternoon it was. I am so proud of all the children, they all did brilliantly. Thank you to you all for your support too.

We have been growing our brains this week as we have explored symmetry and patterns. We had a special delivery this week as our caterpillars arrived. We discovered that when they are butterflies they have symmetrical wings, where the pattern is the same on each side. We made our own  butterfly and had to make each wing the same.

Why not go on a butterfly hunt this weekend.

Have a lovely weekend

St Peter's Charity Football Match- Friday 27th June

St Peters school are hosting a charity football match on Friday 27th June in which both ourselves and St Bede’s have been invited to take part in. The match is due to start between 3:45-4:00 and the event will finish around 5:30pm. The event will take place on the field of St Bede’s High School (which is also shared by St Peters)

This is an optional invitation but we would love to bring enough children to take part and help make this a memorable evening. A large full football match will be played with rotating teams throughout the match. This a call out to everyone who is currently in the school football teams this year- Boys A Team, Boys B1 and B2 and Girls team.

If enough people are interested, there is a possibility of there being a parents game as well! (Teachers included).

Children will be picked up from school as normal at 3:20pm and will need to be taken to St Peter’s. There will be food vans and stalls so you may bring some money with you if you wish. Children are to be wearing their school football kit and they will need boots, shin pads and a drink. If you do not have a school football kit, then please wear blue clothing or any blue football kit.

We will play an hour long game with it being split into 4 x 15 minute games. Each team will play 15 minutes each e.g Girls, Boys A , Boys B and parents.

Please take the time to read about Patrick’s story and complete the form below if you are interested.

‘We are raising money to celebrate and honour the life and legacy of our beloved friend and coworker Patrick McCready.

Whilst working at St. Peter’s as our site supervisor, Patrick undertook the role of Girls Football Coach due to his experience and passion for the sport.

Every week, he would take to the field to coach the girls, and take them to their matches with other local primary schools.

However, his love for the game was not just saved for his beloved U11s team. It was a mainstay of our school. From chanting songs with the children on the playground to talking to pupils about the weekend’s results, Patrick’s love for football was clear and he shared it with all.

As such, in his memory, we will be raising funds for Rosemere Cancer Charity. This will take place through various means but will culminate on the 27th June, when we will be hosting a football match in his name.

This will allow our school community to celebrate his life, his passion and the impact he had on so many of our pupils.

All funds raised will go to Rosemere Cancer Charity, a cause close to Patrick’s family, supporting vital cancer care and services in our local community.

Please donate what you can and help us make a difference in Patrick’s name.’

Mechanisms- Moving Monsters.

This half term has flown by with an action- packed term of learning! We have been looking at Mechanisms, in particular, pivots and levers. The children have investigated and explored everyday items that use a mechanism to operate. We have thought about the input and the output of a device and what happens in between! Through exploration, the children used levers and pivots to make linkages. Using this knowledge and through discussion, we came up with a design- criteria to plan and create a moving monster for a Year 1 child. The children were so proud with their end product!

Next half term we are moving on to Food Technology, where they will be looking at nutrition and a healthy balanced diet, focusing on the different food types. They will then go on to use their knowledge, to design and make a healthy wrap. Your class teacher will let you know in advance of any ingredients that you child will need to bring for their session.

Have a wonderful May half term,

God Bless

Mrs Mather
