Congratulations to Tom R, Jamie,Thomas, Emma, Erin, Anneli and George who have been selected to represent Maghull & District at the Sefton Gala on Tuesday, 26th June. Good Luck for the night.

We’re all going to the zoo tomorrow……………… not quite but don’t forget the Juniors are off to the zoo on Monday. Remember it is school uniform but you may wear trainers and you are allowed a FEW sweets. (Miss Blackham please take note.)
We’re looking forward to a great day out and will be back by 5.00 p.m

All of the children seemed to enjoy yesterday’s visit to Deyes High and impressed the secondary school teachers who worked with them. In the morning they talked about the items in their boxes - I was impressed by the variety of objects, and we also did some creative work.
In the afternoon the children split into groups and did Art, Dance or PE. The quality of their work was great and the children seemed proud of their achievements. We brought back some pictures and a disc with their dance performance on - I’ll try and get some photographs on line.
Once again behaviour was excellent - we were extremely proud of them.

This week’s award winner is Abbie. Her nomination was for always having a good attitude and approach. She was especially sensible while waiting for her part & script. Mr Rafferty told school she was always smiling as well. Well done, Abbie.

We’ve had a very busy start to Y6’s last half-term.
On Monday we had a visit from some of Maghull High School’s staff regarding the children who will be transferring in September. We also did athletics with year 5. We did various events in preparation for selecting an Athletics Team to represent Green Park in a future competition.

On Tuesday we had swimming. All of the children worked really hard and next week some of them will be trying to achieve their Survival certificate. They need to bring shorts and a Tshirt.
In the afternoon ‘Green Team’ went off to visit the Eco centre in Southport and had a great time. I was pleased to hear their behaviour was, once again, excellent. Perhaps some of the children will comment on their visit.
After school we had netball and it was lovely to see one of our ex-pupils back to join in. Jade, who’s now 16, still plays netball and has recently been chosen to train with the ‘North England’squad. (Hope I got that right!) It’s always nice to hear good news.

Well, the week is going to get even busier - we are trying to allocate the rest of the parts for our Summer production of ‘Oliver’. Tomorrow all of Year 6 are visiting Deyes High School (Don’t forget your boxes and your packed lunch) and on Friday our musicians are involved in a transfer day at Maricourt.

Just a reminder that we will be going swimming this term. Our session is Tuesday morning (10.15 - 11.30) so make sure you have some breakfast as you will be eating your break later than usual.
