We welcomed in this new half term with a whole school mass to celebrate the feast of All Saints. This was also a joint celebration to mark Our Lady’s School’s 70th birthday! It was a lovely start to the week and a time to reflect on what it is to be saint. Fr. Frank talked about how the word ‘Saint’ means holy and to be a saint is to treat others as we would treat Jesus. After mass, the parishioners from Our Lady’s were invited over to the school hall for tea, coffee, biscuits and a chance to reminisce on the history of Our Lady’s school. We had also delved into the archives and managed to get pictures of Our Lady’s school along with past pupils and teachers, from years passed.
Here’s what else we have been up to this week…
In Maths, we have been using the column method to do addition and subtraction. Thank-you for supporting the children at home with this, through their homework.
In English, we have started our new book focus. The children have been writing simile’s about a Fox and they have been thinking about what the story will involve.
In RE, we learned about why we go to Mass Sunday and the children reflected on key quotes from the bible and when they may turn to them for comfort.
In PE, the children started their new kicking unit and we enjoyed speed stacking cups in the classroom as the rain stopped us from starting our dodgeball unit!

Online Safety at Our Lady’s
Keeping children and young people safe online is one of the biggest challenges facing society today and it is all of our responsibility to ensure that children are educated to make positive, informed choices when they are online.
This month’s online safety guides give helpful advice about…
The social media site X, highlighting the major changes since its rebrand from Twitter and the related online safety risks.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: a suspense-filled horror game which has nevertheless attracted a relatively young fan-base.
We hope you find these guides informative and helpful in promoting the positive use of technology to make the online world a better and safer place for us all.
We hope you have a lovely weekend.
