Ghana Day
Sun 31 Jan 2016We held a 'Ghana Day' on Friday 29th January to launch our partnership with the Evergreen Blossom Academy Primary School in Ghana.
Children came dressed in the colours of the Ghanaian flag and all 480 children formed the flag for a fabulous picture that can be seen below.
Children wore 'non uniform' for the day and in return they brought in gifts that we plan to take to the school. The children found out about the country of Ghana during the day and also did a piece of work about a day in their own life. We plan to take this work to the school and do a similar piece with the children in Ghana so that we can bring it back to our school.
Mr Antell and Mrs Johnstone will be going to Ghana on 10th February 2016 with a party from Greenbank High School. We are very keen to make this link long lasting so that all of the children in both schools can learn about each other and improve their understanding of our world. We are very keen for EVERY child to be involved in this exciting venture.
We would like to thank every family who made a donation for this activity and we hope to keep you updated with our progress using the school Twitter account during the trip from 10th February to 20th February 2016.
We have made sure that we have funded this trip outside our school budget.

Girls Football Tournament
Fri 29 Jan 2016We had a great afternoon this afternoon at the Formby 3G Girls Football Tournament.
Although the wind was howling, the girls rolled their sleeves up and ran themselves into the ground in seven difficult games.
An unlucky defeat in the first game gave us a lot to do, but a 4-0 win in the second got our hopes right back up, with all goals from Aaliyah.
A 1-1 draw with OLOC was well fought, and we were winning until the very end, after a beauty from Lucy put us ahead early.
A slow start against Freshfield saw us 3 down after 4 minutes, but the girls worked hard to pull it back to 3-2, a narrow defeat.
Another two wins and a draw saw goals from Sophie, Kerry, Brianna, Aaliyah and Harvee, as the football began to flow freely.
Finally it came down to our last two games. We beat St Marys 4-0 with all goals from Aaliyah once again. In our last game against Freshfield we went ahead early, but unfortunately surrendered the lead to get beat 2-1 to the eventual competition winners.
The girls did the school proud, with their manners and behaviour commented perfectly by adults at the competition.
Bring on the next one!!!
