Bike to School Week to take place between 27 September and 1 October 2021
Bike to School Week is a week-long programme of activities designed to encourage more children and their families to cycle or scoot to school. Cycling and scooting are healthy, active alternatives to travelling by car.
Children who cycle to school arrive more relaxed, alert and ready to start the day. And fewer car journeys means less congestion, less air pollution and less parking issues around the school gate!

Sustrans Southport Neighbourhood Project
Year 5 have teamed up with Sustrans Southport Neighbourhood Project to help improve our local area! We completed a fieldwork traffic survey in 4 areas around our school, then worked with a senior urban designer to suggest solutions to problems we found.
Our ideas are going to go into a plan that will be given to Sefton Council, so watch this space to see how we change Southport for the future!
You can get involved here:
Year 5 really enjoyed working on this project, and have put forward some incredible ideas!
Year 6 - Brazil and its Rainforest Display
Reception have been very busy finding out about their local area; and the people who help our local community. They also have been finding out where different foods come from such as the oranges in Handa's Surprise.
Y2 have been finding out about the continent of Australasia and exploring Aboriginal art through paintings and drawings. For more of their work, visit their class page and photos.

Geography Fieldwork Year 6
In the classroom we made hypotheses (predictions) about what we would find on our fieldwork trip
What condition would the play area be in terms of litter, graffiti, vandalism and neglect?
Most of us hypothesised that the play area would be in good condition
What would the facilities be like in the park area in general?
Most of us hypothesised that the facilities would be good too
Would tourists have different views from residents?
Most of us thought yes. We thought that we tend to notice what is in our local area because we are used to it. We thought that tourists would notice more. If they came from more inner city, or run down areas they would probably be positive about the park: if they came from rural areas they might be less positive mad might notice any litter or graffiti more.
We will analyse our findings back at school and report upon them, evaluating our methods and making recommendations about the park.

Year 4 were visited recently by Kathy who helped the children understand more about the water cycle and weather. They were also taught how to stay safe near water; and the importance of saving and recycling this precious resource.
