• NP Y6 make BIG impression

  Sun 16 Jul 2017 Mr. Simpson

  I've nearly caught up on sleep following Friday's fantastic Y6 leavers' celebration, which included a performance, prize giving, limo tour, party and sleepover in the school.  It was a fabulous day with lots of great feedback, but one particular comment has really caught my eye.

   

  The party organisers were 'Angels and Scallies' - the second time they have provided the Y6 party at our school.  It was a brilliant event, enjoyed by all the children and parents alike.  Posting on their Facebook page, Diane from 'Angels and Scallies' wrote the following about our school:

   

  "Tonight I cried at work throwing a party for children who had impeccable manners, danced non stop and behaved so well...  The appreciation of these kids was hearwarming - I'll never forget them."

   

  (see full post below)

   

  This was followed by her comment: "They are having a sleepover too - the school are fantastic!"

   

  I am so proud of the Y6 children for making such a positive impression.  Thank you once again to Angels and Scallies for a fantastic party!

  

• Y6 Leavers off in style!

  Fri 14 Jul 2017 Mr. Simpson

  This afternoon we celebrated our wonderful Year 6 children as they head towards their last week in primary school. The afternoon involved their performance and tear-jerking slide show of baby photos, followed by a mass photo shoot and topped off by a limo ride around South Liverpool.

   

  Now we're moving into the evening session and the children have enjoyed a party, after which it's goodbye to the parents and an all nighter at the school. Should be fun!

  

• Local Police Football Tournament at Norman Pannell

  Tue 11 Jul 2017 Mr. Simpson

  Congratulations to the children from year 4 & 6 who represented the school in a local inter-school football tournament organised by the police, which was held at our school today.  The squad of 5 boys and 7 girls played really well, particularly in the two game we won!  We qualified for the semi-finals, but lost out to Much Woolton who went on to win the trophy.  What a great day!

• Maths Party Day 2017

  Fri 07 Jul 2017 Mrs McMaster
  As part of Maths Party Day and our work towards the Liverpool Counts Quality Mark, our school Maths Ambassadors visited the Big Little Library in Belle Vale and the children in Year 5 visited Gateacre School to play 'life size Monopoly'. The children and parents had the opportunity to play a range of Maths games and puzzles with the ambassadors from Gateacre School.

  

• Norman Pannell win GOLF tournament

  Fri 30 Jun 2017 Mr. Simpson

  Is there any sport our children can’t turn their hand to?  Following successes in Badminton and Triathlon this year, as well as cup-winning footballers, a new Year 6 golf team went to Lee Park Golf Club yesterday and finished top of the league of six schools.  As a result, we have been selected to represent Liverpool in the Merseyside School Games at Golf next week.  Congratulations to the children and Miss Harrison!

  

• Barnstondale - Day 3

  Fri 23 Jun 2017 Mr. Simpson

  Morning everyone!

   

  The children are just packing their bags and tidying their dormitories now as we prepare for coming back to Netherley.  Fortunately, we got MUCH more sleep last night than on the first night, so the children and teachers feel human once again.

   

  We are due to be leaving at 1pm so should be arriving back at school around 2pm.  Parents are welcome to be at school for that time and take their children home early. 

   

  It's been a brilliant trip once again - here are a few more new photos of yesterday to keep you going until we get back...

   

  See you soon,

  Mr. Simpson, Miss Harrison, Mrs. Kelly and Miss Mohan.

  

• Barnstondale - Day 2 (new photos)

  Thu 22 Jun 2017 Mr. Simpson

  Good morning parents,

   

  As promised, here are some of the photos from day 2.

   

  More to come soon...

  

• Barnstondale - Day 2

  Thu 22 Jun 2017 Mr. Simpson

  Hello everyone!  Well, as the saying goes, sleep is for wimps!  It was an interesting night attempting to get the children asleep following the mountains of sweets the children brought and bought from the tuck shop.  The last dorm fell asleep at around 2am and the first woke up at 4:20am.  Tired doesn't even begin to describe it!

   

  We have had an action packed morning over here on the Wirral, which has included an amazing sailing session on West Kirkby Marina.  Children were in groups of 3 in the sailing boats and used the wind to travel back and forth, covering a huge distance, learning how to navigate across the waves.

   

  Here are the first photos of my group to give you a taster, with more photos to come later...

  

• Barnstondale - Day 1 (year 5 & 6)

  Wed 21 Jun 2017 Mr. Simpson

  Good afternoon parents!  I hope you are enjoying peace and quiet in the sunshine whilst we look after your little darlings!

   

  After arrival at around 11am, we went straight to the forest and the field at the far end of the site. Unexpectedly, we bumped into my old school, Northcote, and had a huge game of football with their children and teachers, as well as playing in the woods, climbing trees and enjoying our picnics.

   

  Having sorted our bedrooms and unpacked, the children are now playing on the adventure playground, exploring the site and hanging out in the beautiful sensory garden.  The children's behaviour so far has been fantastic, particularly in mixing with other schools and making new friends.

   

  We will be having dinner at 5pm followed by tuck shop, games room and finally Camp Fire!  We will try to upload some photos later on.
