Happy Easter Everyone!
So sorry this is so late today.......I was distracted by the chocolate eggs this evening.
I hope that you have all had a lovely Easter and I am sending love from my family to all of yours at this holy time.
I hope that you enjoy the story - it is the last one of the book - by tomorrow I promise I will have found another book to read together.
Until then....stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.

Dear All
Happy Easter Saturday to everyone! It is a strange kind of Easter isn't it? But I do hope that you have found a safe way to enjoy a little of the sunshine and you are being creative with your time - if you are stuck for ideas of things to do make sure that you check out your year group blogs by your teachers. They all miss you terribly and send their love this easter time.
Today's story is about a revolting dinner lady - fortunately I have only ever met wonderful people who cook and serve our school dinners so this was not an easy one for me to relate too! Please enjoy and watch out for my cat Nelly who clearly does not enjoy my Nasty dinner lady voice. Wait until you see what she does!!!
Until tomorrow - Stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.

Hey Everyone,
Happy Good Friday to you all! I hope that you are all safe and well and enjoying the sunshine in a responsible way. My hands are still sore from last night's #clapforcarers - I really hope that some of you went to your doorsteps and joined in.
Now today's story is all about The Incredible Bulk - a PE teacher who talks a good talk, does very little sport but wears the most fabulous tracksuits. Enjoy........this one is really funny.
Stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.

Time For A Story - Day 7, by Mrs Parry
Date: 9th Apr 2020 @ 4:52pm
Hi there guys!
Thank you so much for tuning in again to listen to another of Mr Walliams' stories. This one is pretty dramatic but nowhere near as gruesome as some of the others! This is a story about Miss Palaver, the dramatic drama teacher and believe me, she is quite a diva!!
Once again, thanks for all your messages and 'Shout Outs'. Your teachers are really finding comfort in knowing that you are all safe and well.
I hope that you enjoy the story and, until tomorrow, stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.
Love from Mrs P X
Time For A Story - Day 6, by Mrs Parry
Date: 8th Apr 2020 @ 6:27pm
Dear Heroes
How are you all? I have had a lovely day in the sunshine but my family are sharing a sense of cabin fever......it is hard being without your friends isn't it?
I have been in school today and it is really strange without you all there - but I promise we are all just hoping you are well and safe and looking after each other. Today's story is one of my favourites and is all about Miss Seethe who is a deputy head.... desperate to get rid of the 99 year old head teacher so she can take over. It really made me giggle.
Thank you so much for listening to the stories and for sending in your shout outs - that makes it all worth it.
So, until tomorrow, stay safe, stay smiling and stay patient.
Love from Mrs Parry X
Time For A Story - Day 5, by Mrs Parry
Date: 7th Apr 2020 @ 3:48pm
Welcome back anyone who is still enjoing the stories!
I will apologise in advance for the lack of shout outs today - I was mad busy and only just managed to get this story recorded in time. I will make sure that everyone who has sent messages gets bigger SHOUT OUTs tomorrow.
Today's story was a challenge to read in more than one way. It is (as David Walliams himsef describes) a Horror Story and it almost had me cry. It is full of snot, earwax and noxious gas emissions.........listen only if you dare!
Until next time - stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.

Time For A Story - Day 4, by Mrs Parry
Date: 6th Apr 2020 @ 5:24pm
Hello Everyone,
Happy Monday to you all! Here is Day 4 of our reading - Miss Conceit the Human Work of Art - a story about a very conceited and un-humblish teacher! Obviously all these stories are totally made up by the great David Walliams but my own daughter suggested this teacher reminded her of me!!!! I am not sure what she means.
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy it and I hope that you are all safe and well this evening. Please keep posting your messages to your teachers - they really are making us all smile and reassuring us that you are all OK.
Until tomorrow, keep safe, keep smiling and keep washing your hands.
Love from Mrs P. X

Hey Everyone,
So it is Palm Sunday and it seems strange that I am not at church, waving palms and singing Hosanna!
Instead I am recording this story for you and I really hope that you enjoy it. Today's story is called Miss Spick the librarian and there is an unexpected visitor while I am trying to read!!!!
Thank you all for your messages to the staff at Our Lady's - we all love to hear that you are safe and well and it means so much to know that all these cringeworthy videos we are posting are worth it!
So, until tomorrow, keep smiling, keep safe and keep looking for rainbows!!
Love Mrs P.XX

Hello Guys,
Here is the second installment of The World's Worst Teachers by the wonderful David Walliams. This story is about Mr & Mrs Lovey-Dovey which certainly sounds cringeworthy but made me giggle. This one also includes a fleeting appearance by my naughty cat - just for you Year 6! I have loved reading all your messages on the school FB and it is amazing to hear you are all keeping well.
Until tomorrow - Stay safe, stay happy and stay smiling. See you soon.
Love from Mrs Parry XX

Still Smiling, by Mrs Parry
Date: 19th Mar 2020 @ 11:50am
With smiles on our faces, the Year 6 are spending the day writing to the elderly residents of some of our local nursing homes. We know that many of our older generation are having to self isolate and we hate the idea of them feeling alone at this time.
We hope they know we are thinking of them.
Chess Champions, by Mrs Parry

Year 6 continue to enjoy their weekly chess lessons! All the students are making exceptional progress and the concentration is exemplary......just look at how seriously they take each challenge.
The pupils are now running workshops for parents every Wednesday at 3pm. They love sharing their knowledge with anyone who wishes to learn to play or who simply fancies taking them on. If you are a novice or a champion yourself and would like to come in and join in the fun please sign up on ParentPay.

During the last half term Year 6 worked hard to create the most beautiful Russian inspired home-furnishings! We hope that all their hard work was appreciated!
We all had to use a great deal of patience as we tackled sewing and learned a skill that we will be able to use in our future.
Year 6 -Becoming Architects, by Mrs Parry
Date: 9th Mar 2020 @ 11:19am
On Friday Year 6 spent an exciting morning creating a prototype for a new Birkenhead Landmark. We studied the features and measurements of iconic landmarks in our capital city and put together a proposal for a replica structure in our own locality.
As architects we needed to use our maths to calculate land areas, surface areas and volume and then we applied our understanding of scale factors to produce blue prints for construction. We had no idea how much maths was involved!

Year 6 have recently been learning about a Brazilian artist named Domingos Cardosa Da Silva. His most famous piece is of the favelas in Brazil, children started the topic by recreating their own piece of the favelas similar to Domingos. This week the children began to create their own cityscapes including Liverpool. We are amazed by all the children's work - here are some examples

Sadako's Cranes , by Miss Houghton

Year 6 were lucky enough to participate in a Peace workshop this week. The children learnt the story of Sadako (she is remembered through the story of one thousand origami cranes she folded before her death) the cranes today signify peace.
The children then had a go of making their own origami cranes. It was a lovely afternoon with a powerful message.
We had some brilliant origami cranes

Year 6 Come & Share, by Mrs Parry
Date: 27th Nov 2019 @ 2:08pm
This morning's Come & Share was a great success. The children talked about their learning in history and showed our visitors what they had learned about WWI and WWII. Their knowledge of specific dates and events was incredible. We then related this to our studies of charities in RE and the terrible effects war both had on the world and continues to have on our world today.
Together we made Christmas cards for strangers - Refugees fleeing war zones, Veterans living with the effects of warfare and individuals who have been affected by violence and fighting. We wrote messages of support and hope and began making packages of love (containing dry, warm socks) to send to both local homeless shelters and charities.
We are so proud of our Year 6, their maturity and their compassion.
Year 6 Come and Share , by Miss Houghton
Date: 27th Nov 2019 @ 1:59pm
Year 6 really enjoyed come and share this morning. The children having been learning all about WW1 and WW2 in history this year and learning about refugees in RE. So this morning we have made christmas cards for any war veterans in our local care homes or for people who may have fled their countries due to war.
The children have made beautiful cards with thoughtful messages inside.
