Our Eco Warriors have had a very hard job but have picked the winners of the competition! Well done everyone!
Our biodiversity creations are in the playground for us to enjoy! A huge thank you again to everyone for the great effort that was put in to the designs. Some were not as durable as others so some children have taken theirs home to enjoy in their own gardens.

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!
Year 5 compared Southport to the city of Madrid
Year 2 are using Digi-maps to look at coastal features

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!

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.
The children in KS1 have been finding out more about the UK. Here are some of their models and displays about London.

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.
