A HUGE thank-you to everyone who sent in food for our harvest celebration. All over the school there were bags full of food which will be donated to the local food bank. Cheryl from the Church Army joined us to talk about the harvest time message.

Here are our Monksdown Cross Country runners, warming up and preparing to do us proud!

WHAT IS WOW?

WOW IS LIVING STREETS’ YEAR-ROUND WALK TO SCHOOL CHALLENGE

Pupils record how they get to school each day on the interactive WOW Travel Tracker and those who walk (skate, scoot, cycle or Park & Stride!) at least once per week for a month are rewarded with a themed badge. It’s that easy!

Jane from Living Streets came in to explain to the children all about WOW. The school council then met with her to find out how to complete the online tracker in their classes each day.

The internet safety team did a presentation for our KS2 pupils about keeping safe when using the internet. The Google Interland game which helps children learn more about internet safety can be reached by clicking on the link below.

Children and parents were surprised when Liverpool legends from the Former Liverpool Players Association, Alan Kennedy and Ian Callaghan, visited our nursery, along with representatives from the Merseyside Children’s Fund. They were there to present a cheque for money which they have kindly donated to help decorate the nursery.
