Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School
Dear New Class,
I am looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday next week. I have been busy planning exciting lessons and getting the classroom ready! I hope you have had a good rest and happy times with family! I wanted to gives you a few important details about next week:
Read moreI hope you have all had a wonderful summer holiday, full of fun, relaxation and most importantly family time. I am really looking forward to seeing you all after a long summer and starting our learning journey together in the juniors. As you all know, you are not the only ones that have not been in Year 3 before, as I also will be new to the year group, but we have plenty of exciting learning to look forward to and lots of new opportunities.
Read moreI hope that you have all had a wonderful Summer holiday and a chance to relax with family and friends. With only one week until we are back in school, I wanted to give you a few things to think about ready to start Year 6. Year 6 is an exciting year, jam packed with challenge and opportunity; it really will be up to the children how they want to lead and what they want to get involved in and set up for the children within in the school.

As we have reached the end of the year I would like to take a couple of minutes to reflect.
It has been the most wonderful year, packed with fun and learning. We have thoroughly enjoyed working alongside your children and it has been an honour to watch each child blossom and grow. Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your child’s life and your family.
It is with great sadness that we must now let many of our children go, so they can continue their learning journey. I am confident that they will embrace reception with ’gusto’ and fly!
To the families returning to nursery in September…get ready for even more fun next year !!! We can’t wait!
I must also thank each and every one of our parents. Your unwavering support of nursery has made our work this year so enjoyable. Thank YOU!
Enjoy the summer!
Today we had our final Student Council Meeting of the year and said goodbye to our council. Each child shared how they have found their experience of leadership and there were some lovely reflections, including the quote above by Jasmine. It has been a successful year as the council have seen their Children’s Choice Wednesday implemented, an initiative which has resulted in increasing lunchtime numbers across the week. Children have enjoyed having ownership of food choices. They want to continue with this initiative in the new academic year and already we have a large selection of suggestions with waffles being the current firm favourite, especially for Ryan who would like a little chocolate sauce with his!
Thank you children for being such a pro-active group of children who have problem-solved throughout the year to help Our Lady’s run smoothly!
After the fabulous performances this week there is now a recording of Peter Pan available. A leaflet will be coming home tonight for orders or it can be accessed here. All orders must be received with money by Friday so that we can place the school order. Please don’t miss out!
For the last half term, the Year 6 children have been working hard with Mrs Curtis to produce a family recipe book . The children developed the book to be created and sold in the hope of raising more money for Brian House. They have been moved over the year by the trauma many families go through at these difficult times and have been moved to action. There is a PDF of the book attached here; as an ECO school the children felt that it would not be in the planet’s interest to start printing off lots of copies and therefore they decided that an online version would be best. So they are now asking for a ‘reading donation’. In other words by opening it up and reading you are committing yourself to send in a donation, no matter how small. If you want to make a donation to Brian House, please send the money in with your child next week. Every penny will make a difference to the life of another. Year 6 and Mrs Curtis would like to say thank you in anticipation of your generosity.

Following the Athletic’s team success at the Lytham Cluster, the team headed off to Stanley Park on Tuesday to compete on behalf of Fylde and Wyre at the Lancashire Youth Games. Teams from all over the boroughs of Lancashire met at Stanley Park to compete against each other in a range of sports. New for this year was angling…who knew this was a sport at schools.

Look what the gardening club are up to!
Read moreLook what the gardeners have been up to! We filled 10 bags full of gooseberries- a number of staff put in orders! The children took them home to make crumbles and pies!
This afternoon, the school choir went on a short visit to Stella Matutina Care Home. They began by singing them a few songs, ranging from a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang medley to the war time favourite ‘We’ll meet again’. The children spread so many smiles and so many commented on how much of a credit the children are to the school. After singing, we all then sat down to play a game of dominoes. Thank you Choir - your hard work and dedication showed tremendously. You certainly brightened up many of their days with several residents asking if we could stay forever!

We have all been enjoying this lovely weather this week. There has been lots of water play and ice pops!! Let’s hope the weather lasts for the weekend.
May I remind everyone that if you would like a copy of the images we have taken of your child throughout the year, please send a clear USB to nursery NEXT WEEK.
Year four all went TIE DYE crazy today and created fabulous dyed t shirts. These will be washed and dried over the weekend. Children can wear these for PE until the end of the term.
What an afternoon we have had! Every single child that competed this afternoon, ran, jumped and threw to the best of their ability - we cannot be any prouder! Our Year 5 and 6 team ran well, finishing 1, 2 and 3 in the 600m with the girls finishing 2nd in the vortex throw. The Year 3 and 4 team really came together and….finished WINNERS of the competition, beating AKS by 1 single point.
Read moreIn preparation for Online Safety Day, please can you complete the following survey on screen time. We can then collate the results and share them with the children. This will give the children a context to their learning.

Such a super Sports day. The children wore their bespoke t-shirts and showcased all the fundamental movement skills we have been working on throughout the year. Everyone had great fun and when we got back to nursery we all had rocket ice lollies!
Please remember to press your child’s t-shirt for three minutes before washing it. This will to seal in the colours.
Well done to the members of the cricket team from Year 5 and Year 6. After rain stopped play last week, and the tournament needed to be rearranged, the children headed to Lytham Cricket Club to battle it out against two other schools.
