Not long now until ‘THE GREATEST SHOW’- we can’t wait for you to see it …
It has been another busy week next week, with the play. Most of you have ordered and received your tickets now. The show starts at 6:00pm and will be approximately 2 hours long. The children need to arrive at school at 5:30pm, to get changed in to their costumes. They all look fabulous in their outfits, thank you so much for making such effort. Here is a sneaky peak at rehearsals …
We had such a wonderful afternoon at Blackpool Showtime Museum. It was very exciting getting the double decker bus, and I am sure you heard about our attempt to have a picnic on Blackpool front… we had some very cheeky seagulls swarming in on us to try and take a bite, so we quickly changed the plan! The museum in itself was fabulous and we learnt so much about Blackpool’s History!
Year 6 have been wonderful on their jobs around the school, getting fully involved in their classes activities and learning. Some going above and beyond, by squeezing in to nursery pirate costumes- don’t they look great…
On the last day (Friday) we thought it would be lovely if the Year 6 parents came to collect your children at the later time of 2:15pm, this gives more time on the playground to say your goodbyes and to take any pictures that you may want to take of their final day at Primary School.
We are all looking forward to the leaver’s day out next THURSDAY! It is imperative that all children MUST have a bag with them, containing plenty of fluids, a snack, hat and sun-cream/ waterproof coat dependent on the VERY unpredictable weather. We will be out ALL day, come rain or shine, so haven’t the right things is so vital! They are able to wear their own clothes on this day, leavers hoodies might be nice for pictures? Sensible shoes for walking must also be worn, as we are doing ALOT of walking! Cost for the day, the golf, chippy lunch and ice-cream is now on parentpay. We are charging just £6 for this, as the PTFA are subsidizing part of the cost.
Reports have come home today with the children, I hope you enjoy reading and reflecting on them, they have so much to celebrate from their time at Our Lady’s but like everyone, always something to take away and learn from. The most important part of your child’s report, is the one written by us, as their teacher. We celebrate the WHOLE child, not just their performance on one day, so please let this be your focus and not the SAT’s results. SAT’s results are in the pack, so please have a good look at them along with the explanation- the standardized score on reaching expected for all papers was 100. Remember, results from a test never define you as a person, just look at what they have all achieved this year- there is so much to celebrate and be proud of!
Well done to Poppy and Leo
Wow Poppy, our eyes are drawn to you while you are on stage. Your enthusiasm, confidence and delivery is infectious. Thank you for working so hard on your character, and doing your absolute best on stage! You know every single word of the songs and remember all of the dance moves- we are so impressed!
Leo, you are such a gentleman and an absolute pleasure to work with in the hall, as you push yourself daily out of your comfort zone to give your very best and you are doing amazing! We are so proud of the confidence you are showing! You are also such a help setting up the hall and always ready to offer your services. Likewise, in the classroom, you show great independence and focus- what an all rounder! Thank you.
Grateful and Generous butterflies
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are grateful for their own gifts, the gifts of others and the blessings of each day. We will also be spotting children who are generous, who use their gifts to help others. These children are the role models of the school. This week we thank Jay for always being generous with his own gifts to help others.
