Day 2 of Pathfinders- Miss Barron’s Class
This morning, the children were educated in how to administrate first aid and learn basic lifesaving skills. They each were given the opportunity to administer CPR.
The children were then joined by the Paul Lavelle Foundation, who educated the children on how to stay safe, understand the seriousness of peer pressure and the effects it can have on the people involved. They discussed the importance of having positive and healthy relationships.
Year 6 also had a surprise visit from Sid the Shark and designed posters about the importance of battling against loan sharks.

Enterprise Day 2024 - how we spent our hard earned profit 📈, by Mrs Harris
Date: 10th Feb 2024 @ 6:58pm
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!

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 😊

Royal Navy visit with Year 6, by Mrs Harris
Date: 16th Jan 2024 @ 9:42pm
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.

Year 6 have been learning about refugees this morning. As a class we read the poem ‘Refugees’ by Brian Bilston. It was an interesting poem as when we read it from the bottom to the top it changed the meaning of the poem. The children enjoyed discussing the meaning of the poem.
Some children performed the poem and we also reflected on what we had learnt and prayed for refugees around the world.

Year 6 have recently been learning about the circulatory system in science. The children have gained a good understanding of the circulatory system and that it is a network within the body that consists of blood, blood vessels, and the heart. Children today participated in a workshop which included dissecting hearts and learnt about the respiratory system in more detail.
