We had a fantastic visit from the North West Air Ambulance, who told us all about the amazing work they do as a charity. We were amazed to learn that they operate only three helicopters to cover the entire North West region — and they can reach Ellesmere Port from Manchester in just 10 minutes…

Today in Year 4, we went on a virtual adventure using Google Earth to explore Great Sutton and Ellesmere Port!

We spotted physical features like rivers, fields, and woodlands, and compared them to human features such as roads, schools, and the Blue Planet Aquarium. The children loved finding…

What a brilliant buzz in Year 4 this morning! We were lucky enough to take part in a hands-on STEM workshop run by the Engineering Development Trust (EDT) – and what a challenge it was!

Armed with just straws and a single metre of sticky tape, the children set about building the strongest…

We had a fantastic KS2 Sports Day filled with energy, fun, and brilliant sportsmanship from all our pupils. The sun shone down as children competed in a variety of events, showing off their skills and cheering each other on.

Today, we were all treated to a brilliant assembly called "What You Should Know About H₂O", kindly funded by United Utilities. 

The children discovered the three states of water—solid, liquid and gas—and had a chance to see how water changes and moves through the world around us. We dived into…

What a fantastic couple of days we’ve had! Year 4 threw themselves into every moment of our residential trip to the Burwardsley Outdoor Centre, and I couldn’t be prouder of them.

From the start, the children showed great teamwork, curiosity and a real sense of adventure. Pond dipping was a…

Brookside had a fantastic day celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day with nostalgic music and by enjoying our lunches outside!  We have learnt about the Second World War and paused to reflect on the sacrifice made by so many in the cause of freedom and justice.

This week, Year 4 had a fantastic opportunity to build on their learning about Humanism with a special visit from Mr Brassington.  The session was engaging and informative, helping the children deepen their knowledge and understanding of what it means to live a good life without religion.

As part of our RE lessons, we explored The Last Supper. We looked at different artwork, watched videos and read passages from the Bible. 

We explored not just the events of that evening, but also what the disciples and Jesus might have been thinking and feeling.

Well done to all the children in Year 4 who dressed as their favourite book character today!

We had lots of fun completing a book treasure hunt, writing our own silly stories, participating in the BBC Live Lesson and sharing books and stories with our friends. Ms Smith also came into class to…

This week, in Design Technology, children have followed instructions to create a simple car chassis.  They use measuring tapes to measure how far their car travelled down an inclined plane.

Great teamwork shown today by all the children - Well Done!

Today, Year 4 had a brilliant time learning new vocabulary from Ariki and the Island of Wonders through games of Charades and Pictionary. The children acted out and drew words like 'constellations'. 'cove' and 'guardian' helping each other guess their meanings.

It was a fun, active way to build…
