Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Good morning parents and families!
The children all arrived safely yesterday and have had a great time so far. During the afternoon we explored the forest and field, having a massive Y5 vs Y6 game of 'Capture the Flag'. After that, we got in the stream for the ever-popular 'wellie walk', which the children loved!
After dinner we had tuck shop and then lit the campfire, toasting marshmallows and sipping hot chocolate before bedtime.
Fair to say some of the children, particularly Y6, might be a little tired this morning as sleep didn't seem to be their biggest priority as the time ticked past midnight, but we'll be fine and we're looking forward to kayaking and lots of other adventures this morning.
If there are any problems, we will phone you, so please don't worry about a thing, just relax!
From Mr. Simpson, Miss Harrison, Mrs. Haggerty, Mrs. Ghader and all the kids...

Dear parents / carers,
This evening, the Local Authority alerted us to an incident in the Belle Vale area of Liverpool that has been reported to the Police. T
his involved a male adult in a car who acted inappropriately/suspiciously and approached a child. Whilst we do not wish to alarm parents whilst the police consider the matter we would encourage our families and carers to continue to ensure their child travels safely to and from school and is safe within the community. We are not able to provide any details of the incident.

On Friday, the children enjoyed a fantastic opportunity to perform with our friends from Deaf Active to parents and the general public at Belle Vale Shopping Centre.
After only 3 weeks of learning the new songs, Norman Pannell children bravely filled the shopping centre with singing, signing and dancing, performing 5 songs in sign language. Check out the video on the Video Resource Page:

The event was to raise awareness for Deaf Awareness Week and support the fantastic work of Deaf Active. We are very grateful to Ashley, Ian and all the staff of Deaf Active for the opportunities to learn and understand about deafness and inclusion in such a vibrant and enjoyable way. Thanks also to Shopping Centre manager, Paul Wilson, for providing the platform for our children to shine!

In a rapidly developing digital world, it is difficult for parents and carers to ensure they are doing everything they can to support their child online. Whilst there are dangers, we know that our children will embrace the exciting online world and will therefore need to develop skills and resilience online.
The following link will take you to an excellent toolkit with advice on how to support your child to develop skills and understand how to stay safe online:
