Year Three

Visit to Peel Ports, Seaforth 

Year Three had the opportunity to visit Peel Ports, Seaforth, Merseyside on 5th February 24. The trip came about thanks to the kind suggestion of a parent in our current Year Four,  who is an employee of the port, and who gave us the relevant contact details. 

The children had the opportunity to understand how goods are imported and exported into the United Kingdom. This helped them to understand some of the economic activities that are carried out in the local area. 

The children fully enjoyed using the simulator to operate the huge cranes  that are now used to unload the containers from the ships. They had a tour around the port in a mini bus so they could see up close the recently installed four largest cranes. Back in the Port’s  classroom, the children learnt about the history of the port and how it has grown into the multi million pound operation that it is today providing employment and wealth to Merseyside.

We would like to take this opportunity to  thank all the staff at Peel Ports and we hope to return  next year.  

This term we enjoyed amazing lessons from UK Military school.  We learned about basic First Aid. We now can explain CPR and enjoyed practicing our skills on each other. 

Jay from Active Sefton came to deliver sessions based on healthy lifestyles. We learnt a lot about what makes a balanced diet. We can name all of the food groups and now know ways we can make healthy swaps in our own diet. 

We enjoyed practicing our skills in hockey this term.

We enjoyed being Rock detectives. 

In RE we have been learning about looking after each other. 

In Maths we enjoy using practical equipment to help us solve problems.
