Interfaith Week
Fri 14 Feb 2025In Collective Worship today, we celebrated all the wonderful work and learning that we have done this week on Buddhism. There was lots of lovely artwork, hearts of love and compassion, poetry, posters, leaflets and clay sculptures. Year 5 told everyone about Year 4 and 5's visit to the Kadampa Buddist Centre. Everyone has really enjoyed their learning experiences.

Kadampa Buddhist Meditation Centre visit
Tue 11 Feb 2025Today Class 4 and Class 5 visited the Kadampa Buddhist Meditation Centre in Sefton Park. We split into two groups: one group completed activity booklets about Buddhism whilst the other group went into the meditation room with Kelsang Gogden. There we found out about Buddhism practices and teachings and were able to ask lots of questions. We were then led in a meditation by Kelsang Gogden which was very calming.
We really enjoyed our visit. Thank you to Mr Kelly for all of the organisation that went into the visit.

Chinese New Year
Thu 30 Jan 2025We would all like to say a HUGE thank you to the Cao family for their very generous gifts of food for the WHOLE school and visit from Liverpool Hung Gar Kung-Fu.
The whole school thoroughly enjoyed the lion dance and the dragon dances, followed by demonstrations of Kung-fu. Children also participated in the dragon dances as well as feeding the lions!
After this amazing spectacle, we then returned to our classes where a beautiful Chinese banquet awaited us. This was followed by fortune cookies!
Some of the videos of the visit can be viewed here:

Thank you once again, Cao family!
