Kindness doesn’t cost anything, it is something that we can all give and it makes our world a better place. This week, in our council meeting we shared the acts kindness we have seen within our class and celebrated those children. Another one of the Kingdom of God values. Seeing little acts of kindness around the classroom and on the playground throughout the week has been really lovely, and of course being active in the choices that we make. We have even started a kindness jar, where we add the acts of kindness we see throughout the day and share these with everyone.

Jesus asks us to love one another as he loved us. This can be so hard to do at times when often we are not feeling loved ourselves. During our RE lessons this week, we have continued to explore the Kingdom of God and how we can create it here on Earth, just as God wanted us to do. This week the children have been creating their very own webpage on this, I can’t wait to read them all. In our worship this week, I asked the children to think about our world and how we can be curious, but most importantly active, which is our mission to protect God’s beautiful world.
The week ended beautifully with Year 6’s assembly all about leadership on Thursday, inspirational heroes and of course the realization that we can all be heroes if we are willing to help. We hope you enjoyed sharing this assembly with us and I am sure you will agree we have many budding actors in our class! I feel like we are very much into the groove of Year 6 learning now, hitting our daily targets constantly. The pace of learning within the classroom has certainly ramped up. The Nowhere Emporium is certainly full of twists and turns, there are so many questions that we need answering. We have now read chapter 1 and we are intrigued to read more to find out what type of magic lies within the emporium!
A few magic moments from over the last few weeks, especially of our ‘Bikeability’ on Tuesday …

Meet your new Year 6 Leaders...
Year 6 have now been given roles and responsibilities around the school, and what fabulous leaders they are already…
Year 6 Weekly Blog 22.09.23 - "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much."
Collaboration is key - especially in Year 6! This week we have collaborated and shared in every lesson - this has helped us to learn from each other. We have collaborated in Geography, making graphs on Purple Mash to show the rainfall in two places in South America, in our PE playing games of cricket, in our practicing of the assembly and most importantly getting to grips with our new roles around school . Alongside this, we are striving to be curious and active, questioning the world around us and actively making changes where needed.
This whole notion of collaboration will stand us in good stead as we move forward as a class. Earlier this week they each received their positions of responsibility and what a great start to the year they have made! They came back to school on Tuesday ready and raring to go and they have worked together beautifully, what a team they make. It was so wonderful to see how they each celebrated one another! You will see this in full force on Thursday 29th September 2pm for our class assembly. Please make sure they are practicing their lines and song for next week- thank you.
Author Visit
We loved our visit from the author Dan Worsley, he has truly inspired us as writers in the exciting workshop he did with us, and we have created some wonderful pieces of writing about a boy named Bazza- see if they can tell you a bit about their short story!
Samlesbury Hall Visit
Next term in History we will be learning all about the Tudors and even writing our own biographies of Henry VIII. To aid this learning, we have arranged to take the children for a visit to the historic stately home ‘Samlesbury Hall’ on 14th November where we will spend the day there and be took on a tour around the grounds. We have added the cost of this trip to parentpay, and we wanted to give you plenty of notice- many thanks.

Year 6 Weekly Blog 15.09.23 - 'If there was ever a time to dare, to make a difference, to embark on something new - it is now!'
After two weeks of application writing, house captain speeches and class council speeches, we have nearly arrived at the point where all children know their positions of responsibility. Yet again, the children spoke with such passion and sincerity in their videos when they addressed their houses in a bid for their votes. We could not be more proud of all of the children who gave it a go and faced their fears. The videos were all different, showing all of their many gifts and skills, all in which are vital to work as a team ready to lead the school. We discussed what we had all learnt from the process and I think the children were shocked at just how brave they all were! Positions and leadership responsibilities will be announced on Monday and these jobs will start straight away. I cannot wait to see how the children get on this year and what legacy they leave on our school community. Next week we will be speaking about celebrating one another and being happy for one another’s roles around the school, we know there may be some people who will be thrilled with their leadership jobs but unavoidably, there may be some that feel disappointed. It is crucial that we deliver the same message to the children, that all jobs within Year 6 are vital in the working of the school and we must all work together and help one another to make the school a beautiful place to be. Sometimes God’s plan for us, is not always the same as what we had in mind, but he knows each of our gifts and talents, and He will always guide us along the right path, where we can make the most difference. We need to embrace every job and make it our own, I know Year 6 will do this so well.
Next week our Reception children will be starting school full time and will enter the school along with the rest of the school. This can sometimes be, as I am sure you will all remember, an overwhelming time for both children and parents. We would love some help taking these children around to their class teacher and who better than our Year 6 leaders? Every week we will be picking 4 children to come to school at the slightly earlier time of 8:40am, to help the teachers on the gates. Next week the following children have been asked, but please email if there any difficulties with this time.
Charlie Jay Georgia Owen
Learning
We have made a really good start to our learning in class this week. In Maths we have been continuing exploring the different calculations structures of multiplicative and additive, they have been building these and discussing how we can use these when reasoning through word problems. It is quite clear at this point, those children who are really secure with their multiplications and those that need to spend a bit more time speeding up their mental recall. In Year 6 the expectations are so high and learning goes at a much quicker pace, the children will grasp concepts and move their learning forward if they do not have to spend too long recalling number facts. So please remind them to use TT Rockstar’s and other online platforms we have to practice these. We have been so impressed with their enthusiasm and energy in English lessons this week as we have been predicting and raising questions about our class novel ‘The Nowhere Emporium’. Some of their predictions were very interesting, I can’t wait to start the novel with them next week to see if some of their theories are true! Earlier in the week we also created some extended noun-phrases based on pictures from the text and used these to make our own list poems, which were brilliant! Then we have been studying South America in Geography, practicing are overarm bowling in PE!
It was lovely to see so many of you there for the Year 6 induction drop-in session on Wednesday. This is such a crucial year for your children and we must work together to ensure each of them reach their full potential and have a real sense of achievement this year. I hope you enjoyed seeing where your child learns, meeting the teachers and finding out a little bit more about the year ahead. Below is an induction presentation, that may go through key points and offer information about the year. Please always know that if you ever need to talk then we can always arrange a convenient time or please drop me an email. Hopefully, the following information can answer some of the questions that were in the box. We have also responded by organising a short meeting on Castlerigg straight after the Year 6 Assembly on Thursday 28th September 3pm, we hope you can join us.
A desperate plea:
I am desperate to put photographs of your children on this blog to share all of the wonderful learning but I can’t do this until I have all consent forms back and I only have half. Please could you make sure you have sent the following two forms, even if your child has no medical needs this form still needs to be completed.
FLU VACCINATION
NHS nurses will be visiting school on Wednesday 22nd November to administer the ANNUAL FLU VACCINATION. The Vaccination is free and a quick, simple, painless spray up the nose.
This vaccination is recommended to help protect your child against flu. Flu can be an unpleasant illness and can cause serious complications. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable family and friends by preventing the spread of flu. There may be rebound in flu levels this coming winter following low levels in the past 2 years as a result of COVID-19 restrictions.
Online Consent form: Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School
Please use the following link to access the online consent form:
Please quote the code for our school : BP119627
Please complete for both consent and no consent giving reasons

Keep this up and you will shine even brighter this year! What a fantastic learning partner you have been this week- thank you for your patience and compassion.
Iris- Cooperative Roger Robin - throughout this week you have subtly helped so many children in our class. A true leader does things unnoticed and for the greater good of the class. You do this all of the time. Year 6 will be a great year for you - I can tell!

Year 6 Weekly Blog 08.09.23 'Be brave, take risks and allow the unexpected'
Welcome to Year 6!
What a week we have had! There has been such a warm and friendly buzz of excitement, anticipation and enthusiasm over the last two days in Year 6. We could not be happier with how the children have returned to school for their final year at Our Lady’s. We have spent a lot of time over the past two days talking about leadership and our vision for the year ahead. We have shared a beautiful story with the children called The Invisible. A tender story about how we all belong in the world. Please click on the button below to read the story

We are really excited to be taking the children to Castlerigg for their Year 6 residential at the start of the year. Followed by Borwick Hall in May.

Our school ... our class ... is richer because of you
What an emotional but beautiful week we have had in Year 6. It is always sad to say goodbye, but my goodness, are they all so ready to spread their wings and fly at High School! It has been such a privilege to have taught Year 6 this year and we have loved every minute being with the on their magical journey. They have risen to every challenge, worked their socks off and showed so much love and compassion along the way. They will all be greatly missed by everyone at Our Lady’s.
It has been a week of celebrations and goodbyes. After a beautiful leavers mass for our Year 6 and dear Miss Hodges, we made our way to complete our crazy golf, chippy lunch and then the parachute games the children have been desperately asking for. The ice cream’s Mrs Gregan treated us to were also wonderful. We had so much fun altogether- Harriet sadly you were too poorly to come and missed you but you were there with us in spirit!
Wow, what a performance! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was amazing! We are so proud of them all…
Today was a perfect way to end their primary school journey … this morning the staff performed their very own ‘professional’ pantomime of The Wizard of Oz. Such a lovely way to thank all of Year 6 for the time they have shared with us.
Finally, the Year 6 team would like to thank you all for your continuous trust and support throughout the year. We have loved reading all the children’s cards and kind words and really appreciate any gifts we have received, although the real gift has been to teach all of your beautiful children. Thank you.
Have a wonderful summer and remember what Mrs Gregan said… ‘once an Our Lady’s, always an Our Lady’s’ so please do stay in touch.
Year 6 Weekly Blog 'the earth is what we all have in common' so let's look after it!
Happy Green Eco-Day everyone! Thank you for your donations!
It is another busy week next week, with the play. Most of you have ordered and received your tickets now. The show starts at 6:30pm and will be approximately 2 hours long. The children need to arrive at school at 6:10pm, 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 …
This week in class, we have discussed the arguments for and against home-schooling- a topic that was raised in our class novel. Our Maths and Geography has continued. During PE, this week we partnered up with some of our Reception friends, and made a game up for them to develop their fundamental skills. Year 6 loved it and were so lovely with them all.
Our ‘Castle Hodges’ has now been opened and we had a lovely blessing, naming and opening ceremony as a whole school, with who better to cut the ribbon, than our very own Miss Hodges! It is safe to say, the castle is a huge hit amongst all ages and Year 6 are relieved that it has been built just before they have left, as apparently this was their idea in council!
On the last day (Thursday) 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 leavers day out next week! It is imperative that all children MUST have a bag with them, containing plenty of fluids, a snack, hat and sun-cream. They may also need a waterproof coat as it is so unpredictable at the minute. They are able to wear their own clothes on this day, however please could we be mindful of the appropriateness of outfits as they are attending mass first. Sensible shoes for walking must also be worn.
Reports have come out 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 standardised 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 Max and Asher
Wow Max, 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!
Asher, 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! Likewise, in the classroom, you show great independence and focus- what an all rounder! Thank you.
Intentional and Prophetic Butterflies
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are intentional in the choices they make, thinking about the impact this has on the world and others around them. We will also be spotting children who are prophetic, who do good deeds and who stand up for that is right. This week we thank Evie for being intentional and prophetic.
This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:
Jack James Jacob M Jacob O

Year 6 Weekly Blog ‘If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change’.
What a busy week we have had in Year 6. We’ve managed to keep all of our learning going whilst finally finishing our play. Next week we will be running all the way through, making small changes and improving what we have done. There are still some children not fully familiar with their lines, please spend time this weekend going over their parts, making sure they know all their lines off by heart with the right expression. They have had their scripts for 5 weeks now and there is only one week to go! Most have booked tickets now, so these will also be sent out some time next week. Most costumes are not put together, could I please ask that anything they need to bring from home is brought in to school for Monday? Thank you.
This week we have continued our learning in Geography, where we have looked at countries, cities and towns that make up the UK. In Science, we finished our learning around fossils and classified living things. Our transition learning continues, this week our focus has been on whether we have a fixed or growth mindset and what we can do to change our attitude. On top of this transition preparation, all children have now been for a visit to their new high school and all have come back positive, looking forward to their new chapter, with of course some nerves. We have spoken in class about these feelings and how we need to share them with the people around us. We will of course, be discussing this in more detail over the next two weeks.
Our final DT groups completed their ‘Come Dine With Me’ experience and I have to say the desserts looked delicious. Here is a few pictures over the last few weeks, you can see just how much they have enjoyed this …
Leavers Day
As we approach the final two weeks of the school year, the celebration of our Year 6 children is at the forefront of our minds. Over the past 7 years, the children have grown into young people who are ready to fly. Young people who know how to be the change that they want to see in the world. They could not have achieved this without the love and support that they received from their school community, and more importantly, their family. For this we thank you.
On Wednesday 19th July, the whole school community will come together at the Leavers Mass to celebrate the class and Miss Hodges, who is sadly retiring in summer. This will take place at 9.30am in church.
Following the mass, the children will set off on their day of celebration. They will be walking down, along the beach, to Fairhaven Adventure Golf and Adventure Playground, where we will stay and have lunch and games for the afternoon. We will then head back to school for the end of the day.
There is just a small charge of £5 for the day, we will subsidize the rest and this will be on parent pay on Monday.
Next week we will finalise arrangements and what your children need to wear and bring with them on the day.
Well done to Grace and Saul
Grace, you are such a calming influence on our class. Your little acts of kindness and consideration goes a long way, as you discreetly help those around you. You are always a cooperative learning partner, that supports and encourages others- thank you.
Saul what a pleasure you are to teach! You are working hard independently in class but most of all we love your positive attitude and fantastic sense of humour, so thank you for making us laugh daily!
Intentional and Prophetic Butterflies
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are intentional in the choices they make, thinking about the impact this has on the world and others around them. We will also be spotting children who are prophetic, who do good deeds and who stand up for that is right. This week we thank Max for being intentional and prophetic.
This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:

Year 6 Weekly Blog 30.06.23 “Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he wanted.” Charlie Bucket: “What happened?” Mr. Wonka: “He lived happily ever after.”
Dancing, singing and laughing has most definitely been the theme for the week this week in Year 6! You are in for such a treat with their end of year play. When I watch them on stage now, I can’t believe some of them are the same children that started the play 3 weeks ago. Their confidence has grown so much and are now so much more comfortable on stage that they are bringing their characters fully to life! This week we have more or less completed the play, with just the final scene to go, so next week we will be running from the top all the way through each day, to tweak any changes we may need to. Please make sure Year 6 spend some time this weekend going back over all of their lines, thank you. On Monday, we will be starting to try on our costumes to ensure children have got everything they need, so please make sure all items they need arrive in to school by this time if needed. If you have not heard about costumes as yet, then you will on Monday! This is a long process, so bear with us. Thank you to all those who have sent in costumes and items already!
Year 6 have been so busy in class too, during play rehearsals, they have continued to work hard on their class novel ‘Skellig’, looking deeper in to the text by answering some tricky comprehension questions. Maths fluency and reasoning has continued with puzzles and problems and the children have started their transition lessons, where we talked about how we choose our own attitudes and reflected on what we need to do to be a ‘kid awesome’ and become success learners!
Year 6 have excelled in their jobs around the school this week and the teachers have been praising them on their support within the classroom, in fact I think they wished they were in there permanently. They have sat with the children in their class at lunchtimes to help keep the noise levels down, they have been supporting them in their work, reading with children and even building towers in Reception…
Such a shame about the weather on Wednesday, typically the sun was shining the next day! Don’t forget the new date for Sports Day is 12th July, 1:30pm.
Well done to James and Hollie-Rose
Hollie-Rose, you are so pro-active and hands on, always ready to help when needed and see what needs doing! You are such a caring learner partner, thank you for always having patience and showing love to your classmates- you make our class a happy place to be!
Wow James, you astound with just how resilient and determined you are at learning all of your lines- and you have tons! Not only do you come prepared, clearly having practiced your expression and understanding of what you are saying but so much enthusiasm! You are a joy to work with on stage and that smile is contagious! Thank you for making my job as director so much easier.
