7 Golden Rules

Our whole school behaviour policy applies in F2. Our golden, blue and red bears represent the 'golden zone', 'warning zone' and 'time out zone' for the children in F2.

F2 had a visit from Merseyside Police. They tried on uniform, looked at equipment and asked lots of super questions.

World Book Day 2025

F2 had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day. We shared clues about our favourite stories, made book character masks, designed book covers and book marks and enjoyed sharing our favourite stories with children in Year 5 and 6.

F2 had a visit from our local Fire Service.

Eid Story

F2 were very lucky to have a visit from Faktara from MEAS (Minority Ethnic Achievement Service) for a diversity story session. Faktara shared with us the lovely story of ‘Ismat’s Eid’ by Fawzia Gilani-Williams. She told us all about the special things Muslim families do together to celebrate Eid twice a year. She talked about the food many families cook, the clothes they wear and the gifts they give. After we had read the story Faktara showed us some of the clothes her family wear for Eid and some of usmodelled them for everyone to see.

F2 had a great day raising money for Children in Need
