Then there are those of you who have created a whole gymnastics display!

Week Four
The Next Step
This is a very strange week, as we prepare for the unknown. We are all in the same boat and need to work together and help each other where we can. As from 3.30 today school is now closed to the majority of us and we are led by our Government for instruction and guidance. Here at Our Lady’s, we truly do love each other and mean it when we say, if we can help, we will. All class teachers will be writing a daily teaching blog for the children to do at home.
I also will be creating an ART activity blog for each class on the day they normally have art with me….

As the week has drawn to a close, the lunch time team have been overcome with the kindness and calmness of the children as the week has unfolded. It has been such a joy to see that in such difficult circumstances, they have had moments to be themselves and to have time with their friends playing, laughing and having fun. The love and compassion they have shared with one another has been quite humbling.
Table of the Week: The Team have decided that All houses are star table, children, you have been absolutely wonderful this week, thank you.
Role Model and Marvelous Manners: Again, the Team has decided that each and every child should receive both role model and marvelous manners. We are so proud of you all. Thank you so much children.
God Bless

Craig McCann - Athlete visit. 'Grasp every opportunity that comes your way!'
It is not everyday that an athlete visits your school, let alone a Paralympic athlete. So, when we were given the opportunity for Craig McCann to visit, of course we said yes! Throughout the morning, all of the children visited the hall to complete a rather tricky, fitness class.

Imaginations have been running wild this week at lunch time. With glimpses of witches flying high in the sky and their echoing cackles ringing out across the school, the children discovered that with a little imagination, anything is possible. In fact, I do believe that one was spotted today running amok in the playground. Apparently, she has long, red, curly hair, a rather large nose, black dress, pointy hat and of course a broomstick. If you should see her flying around, then please do let us know!
Meanwhile across the rest of the playground, we have had games of Sardines, Disney character charades and a persuasive letter being written to Boris Johnson with an urgent appeal to tackle global warming.
Mr Nay, with the assistance of Mr Lyons, a past pupil, has delivered fun filled sporting activities such as bean bag target throwing and catch, cricket and general ball skills. The children have such a wonderful time with him and are always eager to share their sporting experiences with us.
Table of the Week: Keystage 1 table of the week goes to Bamber and for Keystage 2, Marsden. Thank you and well done children for making the dining room a delightful place to be.
Role Models of the Week: Role Models of the week for both Keystages are; Chloe Reception, Max Y2, India Y3, Reuben Y6. Thank you and well done to you all. You all have such wonderful qualities that shine through on a daily basis.
Jaqui’s Marvelous Manners: This week, Jaqui has been serving up a variety of delicious meals from a mid week roast to cheese whirls, followed by mouth watering desserts. The children have been leaving the hall looking very full, replenished, bursting with energy and ready to take on the afternoons learning and challenges. Marvelous Manners goes to: Rex and Sofia Y1 and Isabella and Jack Y3. Well done to you all and thank you for having marvelous manners.
Have a lovely weekend, let’s hope the sun keeps shining so that you can all enjoy some outdoor fun.
God Bless
