Fantastic Finch Farm Finals

Yesterday on June 16th our football teams from year 3 and 4 and 6 went to Everton's Academy at Finch Farm. The finals were to celebrate the best teams from all over Sefton and we had 3 teams in them. They sent a double decker bus to take us there. The weather was very hot and we were all very excited. The first final was the year 6 match against Great Crosby who have 3 year 6 classes. It was a tough game but we eventually won with Adam's great right foot shot and fantastic defending. Next two games were the year 3 and year 4 and we had teams in both finals. The teams played fantastic football and year 4 won again with goals from Jordan's right foot and a left foot free kick. The team defended well and Ryan had a great game in goal. The final score was 2: 1 to St John Bosco. Well the year 3 were having a brilliant match and really put the team from Great Crosby under alot of pressure. They hit the bar twice and the ball was cleared off the line 3 times. It was not meant to be and sadly they scored a goal from a corner that bounced off Amelia's arm and hit the post and went in. We all had a great morning and will try again next year except for year 6's. Here are some pictures.

Girls enjoy Fantastic Friendly Football Fun

The girls from years 3, 4, 5 and 6 enjoyed two fantastic football matches last night against the girls from Green Park. They played some quite outstanding football and the A team won 5:1 with the B team sharing a 0:0 draw. It was great to see how they have developed individually and as a team under the coaching of Carmel and James. It has been so good to see the great numbers that turn up every Friday after school and it would be great to see even more of the girls from year 3 if they would like to take part. Well done to all the girls.

On Tuesday, 21st April, Year 4 visited Rufford Old Hall as part of the history syllabus. 

We learned about the Hesketh family, Tudor history and life style.

We were able to have a picnic in the grounds and play games as we were lucky enough to have nice weather.
