It’s been a fantastic week of sport for our pupils, with plenty of opportunities to represent Our Lady of Pity and show their skills and teamwork!

🏃 Monday 29th September – KS2 pupils competed in the cross country at Birkenhead Park. There were some superb individual performances, and we are proud of every single runner who gave their all.

🏐 Wednesday 1st October – We were delighted to host a Year 5/6 netball tournament, welcoming lots of local schools. A huge well done to our team who played brilliantly and were crowned overall winners!

⚽ Wednesday 1st October – Our Year 6 footballers travelled to Tranmere Rovers FC for a competition. The team impressed, winning 4 out of 5 fixtures, finishing second in their group, and scoring plenty of goals.

👏 A huge congratulations to all the children who have represented our school this week – you’ve done us proud! We’re looking forward to many more sporting opportunities in the weeks and months ahead.

We loved our river trip yesterday! We got to look at different species of trees, we collected rubbish to protect the wildlife in our local area and we even tested the quality of the water! 🌳☀️🦊🦉

Yesterday, Year 4 went to Arrowe Country Park as part of their geography topic this term. They looked at the different features of Arrowe Brook and measured the speed and width of the river 🗺️🍁🍂

6HL led a special Celebration of the Word this week to launch ‘The Rosary Challenge’ with KS2 classes. Working with @themark10mission and their fantastic resources, the children will be saying a decade of the rosary every day in October whilst learning about mysteries of the Holy Rosary 📿

We had a wonderful time yesterday at the HFCMAT Zoo Takeover! 🐒🐘🐅We educated the public all about the problems with palm oil and how they can help choose brands that use sustainable palm oil.

Year 6 were so pleased that one of our parents offered to come in with a colleague to talk about their job as part of our science topic on the circulatory system. The children were given a hands on experience: taking blood pressure, checking lung capacity, using heart and pulse monitors as well as learning more about the heart! It was fantastic! Thank you so much for your time!

well done to our Cross Country runners who took part in Monday’s races! Our Year 5 boys came 3rd overall, a big well done to everyone for taking part 🏆🏅🏃‍♂️
