  • Sefton Poppy

    Fri 04 Jul 2014 Mr Antell

    5821 children from Sefton, including 120 from our school have broken the World Record and created the largest human poppy on Southport beach today.

     

    Schools from across the borough took part in the event to mark 100 years since the start of World War One and we couldn't miss out. We decided that our Y6 children would love the experience.

     

    The weather was atrocious at times, but the children braved the elements to take part in this memorable event. We will upload photos as and when we can, with the school Twitter feed also producing some great pictures and stories.

     

    Take a look at Year 6, class 6/4's page for the film clip of the event!

     

    The Liverpool Echo coverage of this event can be found on this link:-

  • Southport Learning Partnership Eco-Warriors Presentation

    Thu 03 Jul 2014 Ryan Brewer

    Over the past six months the School Council has been working hard with 4 other local schools on an 'Eco Warriors' project for the Southport Learning Partnership.

     

    The children were tasked with making Ainsdale Discovery more child friendly. There have been several visits to the site which resulted in the children producing trail maps, post toppers, information for a website and finally the creation of a mosaic to welcome new visitors.

     

    Two children from FRJS went along to the Ramada Hotel to present what they have been doing to 23 local head teachers, as well as local MP John Pugh.

     

    Their presentation went down a storm and they were rewarded with a fantastic lunch with delicious deserts!

  • Annual A Team Parents v Players Football Match

    Wed 02 Jul 2014 Nick Hanlon
    The eagerly awaited annual A Team Parents versus Players took place at Carr Lane today. Many of the dads had been in training for weeks to make sure that the parents recorded their usual victory over their children! The parents or brothers of the following children took part in the match: Charlotte, Liam, Adam, Robbie, Alex, Dana, Oscar and Kian. Whilst a number of mums, brothers, sisters and even grandparents cheered from the sides. The parents took an early 4 goal lead but the A team fought back with goals from James and Alex saw the score 4-2 at half time. After a short break - (perhaps oxygen) the match resumed with goals by both the parents and team. The game ended with a penalty for the A team cooly slotted by Robbie. The final score 8-5 but no-one really cared - it was just great to see the families all enjoying themselves. Here's to next year.

    Can you guess what is happening in the story or who the characters might be?

  • Cricket tournament

    Thu 05 Jun 2014
    A massive well done to the girl's cricket team, who played their first competitive matches today. They played tremendously well in the tournament against tough opposition. They won both of their group games but came undone in the semi final against a strong Shoreside team, losing by only 5 runs. I am extremely proud of your efforts girls, quality work! Mr Todd.
