Year 3 - Holy Communion Celebration Mass and Party, by Miss Kealey
Date: 24th Jun 2025 @ 8:49pm
Today, our Year 3 children came together to celebrate a very special milestone — their First Holy Communion. It was a joyful day shared with friends, siblings and the wider school family.
We began the day with a beautiful Mass with Fr Micheal, reflecting as a school community on the sacred sacrament the children have recently received. It was a wonderful opportunity to pause, pray, and give thanks for this important step in their faith journey.
In the afternoon, the celebration continued with a party! The children enjoyed looking through photos from their Holy Communion, drawing and writing about their special day and taking time to relax with playdough, LEGO, and a film. Afterwards, we shared party food — with plenty of cake, of course!
To round off the warm and joyful day, the children had an extra playtime outside. It was a lovely way to end a celebration filled with fun, reflection, and togetherness. The children truly enjoyed marking this meaningful occasion with their peers and siblings.
Congratulations to all of our Year 3 pupils on their First Holy Communion — we are so proud of you!

Year 5 Croxteth Park Farm, by Mrs Harris

Year 5 – Croxteth Country Park Visit (Part 3)
As part of their Science learning on animal life cycles and key life processes, Year 5 had a wonderful visit to Croxteth Country Park Farm. The children explored how animals are cared for at every stage of their development and even had the opportunity to get hands-on, assisting with some of the daily tasks involved in nurturing healthy, thriving animals.
In addition to their time on the farm, the children also enjoyed a guided tour of the stunning Victorian Walled Gardens at Croxteth Manor House. Here, they learned about a variety of flowers and plants, using their observations as inspiration for sketching and descriptive writing activities in English.
A memorable and enriching experience all round!

🎨 This half term, our talented Year 3 children have been learning about the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai and his iconic artwork The Great Wave. Inspired by his style, they created their own stunning interpretations—starting with detailed sketches and then bringing them to life using watercolours. The children experimented with colour blending and technique, producing some truly impressive results. Fantastic work, Year 3! 🌊✨

Today we explored what ‘The Mass’ is in preparation for making our First Holy Communion. We reflected on how our Catholic Community celebrate the love that Jesus has for us.

Date: 7th May 2025 @ 9:09pm
In their RE lessons this week, Year 3 pupils have been learning about the feast of Pentecost and its significance in the life of the Church. As part of their reflection, they used watercolour paints to create their own interpretations of this important event. Around their artwork, they thoughtfully chose and wrote words that describe the transformative effect of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles.
This activity offered pupils a meaningful opportunity to express their understanding of faith through creativity, deepening both their knowledge and their personal reflection.
Year 3 Explore Parkgate: Then and Now, by Mrs Harris
Date: 7th May 2025 @ 8:42pm
As part of their local history topic, Year 3 have been learning all about Parkgate through the ages. Pupils compared historical photographs from over 100 years ago with images from today and discovered that while many of the buildings have remained the same, the biggest change is the transformation from water to marshland.
The children also enjoyed learning about Parkgate’s most famous treat — its delicious ice cream — and agreed it remains a wonderful place to visit. This engaging activity helped bring local history to life in a fun and meaningful way.

This evening, we were absolutely delighted to see Holden stepping into the fascinating world of beekeeping — and following in his dad’s footsteps!
Dressed in full beekeeping gear, Holden showed great enthusiasm and curiosity as he learned how to care for these incredible little creatures. His confidence and interest truly shone through, and it was wonderful to witness such a memorable and inspiring moment.
Learning experiences like this one show just how important hands-on opportunities are in sparking a lifelong love of the natural world. We are all so proud of you, Holden — a brilliant future beekeeper in the making!
