The children understood the importance of online cyber activity whilst playing an exciting game led by PC Pete. It was a close call, but well done to Bradley who won!
In the afternoon, it was time for Year 6 to build their confidence with a visit from Gautby Road and Sale Sharks. The children were split into two groups and each had the chance to take part in rugby drills and hold a whole array of fascinating reptiles. Even Miss Barron conquered a few fears!

Date: 11th Feb 2024 @ 9:33am
Year 2 chose to sell playdoh and gloop for Enterprise Day. We spent some time deciding on colours and prices as a year group. We made over 150 pots and bags of playdoh and gloop for the whole school to purchase. Some were pink, blue, orange, green and some ever contained glitter! The children worked hard making, packaging and advertising our products to sell. We set up our stall in the hall with our brightly coloured table decorations. Each child had a go at making, advertising or selling our playdoh and gloop, the whole school loved it! Well done Year 2!

Year 3 raised a total of £43.75 during our enterprise afternoon! The children decided to buy books and stationery. Each class now has a set of 8 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' books and a stacking pencil each.
From planning to making, advertising to selling, the children had a great time building their enterprise skills, which I'm sure will help them in the future.
Thank you to all the children in OLSE for supporting Year 3!

Year 1 chose to sell keychains on Enterprise Day. We spent all week carefully threading colourful beads onto thread to make them. We made more than 250! Some had clips, some had keyrings, some had letters and others had shaped beads. We even made some especially for the teachers! They all looked amazing! We set up our stall in the hall and put up posters to advertise, then the selling began. Each child had a go of either setting up or selling their keychains. They worked so hard and made over £75! Well done Year 1!

Enterprise Day Marketing Videos and Posters, by Mrs Harris
Date: 1st Feb 2024 @ 9:46pm
The children had a wonderful time during the preparation for Enterprise Day 2024!
Their entrepreneurial skills were certainly put to the test and they all did so well.
Modern life means our young people need to be resilient, innovative and not afraid to experiment - all important for entrepreneurs.
We are using Enterprise Day to develop a range of skills in our pupils. These skills include:- team work, financial literacy, organising and planning, using initiative, negotiation, taking risks, creativity and innovation.
A key part of enterprise is the making of goods, followed by the marketing and selling of these goods.
Take a look at our presentation / marketing videos and see what you like the look of 😊

On Friday, Wiggy and Kayleigh from the Royal Navy visited school. The day began with an informative presentation about the roles and responsibilities within the Royal Navy and the children were given the opportunity to ask questions. In the afternoon, the children took part in a 'Flarebox' workshop where they learnt about the use of flares and then they designed their own. Using a rocket launcher, the children then tested their designs on the school playground. We look forward to welcoming the Royal Navy back into school for some more workshops in the Summer Term.

For this morning's Liturgical Prayer, Year 6 lit their first Advent candle on their wreath. The first candle is purple and represents hope. The reading was from Mark's Gospel and the message was 'Stay Awake, Be Ready' for we do not know the hour when the Lord is coming. We hope you follow us on our journey through Advent. You can do this by joining us at our Advent Mass tomorrow at 9.30am in Our Lady's Church. Thank you for your continued support, Miss Flynn.

Planet Heroes!, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 9th Oct 2023 @ 6:14pm
As part of the RE retreat last Friday 6th October, the children in Year 1 made a pledge to become a Planet Hero. They each made a badge to take home and attended a theatre workshop and production. In class, they learned all about the plastic that ends up in our oceans and how it affects the wildlife and ocean creatures. They used old plastic bags to make jellyfish. They worked really well in their teams and it was lovely to hear them talk through their designs and ideas. Then we talked about the wonders of nature and how beautiful God's world is. The children used natural materials to make art. Most of our children made faces using the conkers, pine cones, leaves and flowers. What a lovely day it was, we can't wait for them to share the news and recruit more Planet Heroes!
