Year 7 have made a fantastic start to their reside Year 7 have made a fantastic start to their residential!

They arrived in Grange-over-Sands to a wonderfully sunny afternoon, with everyone excited and ready for the adventures ahead. After enjoying lunch, pupils found their rooms, unpacked and quickly settled in.

There was no time to waste before heading straight out for the first afternoon of activities. Groups took part in a brilliant range of challenges, including rafting, ghyll scrambling, obstacle courses, orienteering and a variety of team games.

It has been great to see pupils throwing themselves into the activities, working together, trying new things and having plenty of fun along the way.

A brilliant first day – and there is lots more still to come!
Year 7 have arrived safely in Grange-over-Sands af Year 7 have arrived safely in Grange-over-Sands after setting off on their residential earlier today!

A busy week of learning and creativity across Merc A busy week of learning and creativity across Merchant Taylors’ Prep… 👀

Year 4 brought History to life by painting and personalising Roman shields, ready to form their own Roman army! In Science, they used apples to investigate how incisors, canines and molars help us to bite, tear and chew food. 🍎

Year 5 and 6 Art Club explored colour and creativity through their eye-catching sun and moon designs, each with its own individual style. 🎨

Year 6 explored how heatwaves and bushfires in Kinglake, Australia, have affected home insurance costs. The topic prompted thoughtful discussion about climate change, insurance and its impact on communities. 🌍

They have also made a confident start to the band programme, developing their skills on a variety of instruments and learning to perform together. 🎶

Year 2 have begun their English text by looking at familiar objects from a new perspective, using careful observation and descriptive vocabulary to explain what they could see. 🔍

Last weekend, we welcomed The Cortex Festival and Last weekend, we welcomed The Cortex Festival and Games to Merchant Taylors’, bringing together people living with brain injuries, their families and a number of organisations from across the local community.

There was plenty going on throughout the day, from sport with Everton in the Community and brain games to yoga, dancing, family activities, painting demonstrations and a visit from the local fire and rescue service.

More than 30 of our Sixth Form students also gave up their Sunday to help out, supporting activities, welcoming visitors and helping everything run smoothly. It was lovely to hear so many positive comments about them throughout the day and they represented the School superbly.

The event was run by The Cortex Festival and Games CIC in association with Headway Sefton and forms part of the continued development of our Partnerships Programme.

Thank you to everyone who came along or played a part in the day.

A look back at the week across Merchant Taylors’ P A look back at the week across Merchant Taylors’ Prep… 👀

Year 1 have been making new friends and settling into their new routines. In PSHE, they explored what it means to be a good friend, created their own ‘friendship soup’ 🥣 and painted portraits of one another. 🎨

Year 2 took part in voting for their Eco Council and School Council representatives, learning more about having their say in school life. 🗳️

Year 3 began exploring the question, ‘What does prehistory mean?’ Working in groups, they placed historical periods and key events on a timeline before discovering that their next topic will take them back to the Stone Age. 🪨

Year 4 have settled confidently into their new classrooms. They have been discussing friendship in PSHE, researching the Space Race 🚀 and putting their times tables knowledge to work.

Year 5 used art to introduce themselves, creating colourful paintings filled with their favourite things and interesting facts. It was a creative way to share more about themselves with their new classmates. 🖌️

Year 6 launched their first science topic by investigating electricity. Using switches, lamps, buzzers and fans, pupils worked together to build and refine circuits, putting their ideas into practice and watching their inventions come to life. 💡
