What a day Year 4 have had! It has been so much fun to become a part of history celebrating the first monarch’s platinum jubilee in British history!
The children spent their morning in assembly singing the national anthem followed by KS2’s surprising Miss Haggerty with another patriotic song and waving their flags proudly! Listen to the song we performed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oErNqBl3rIQ .
We enjoyed our lunch today in the style of a street party picnic, waving our union jacks with pride as we celebrated our monarch.
Year 4 then spent the first part of the afternoon completing a rotation of fun garden party games on the field. These outdoor activities included: lawn bowls, jubilee corners, tug of war, giant jenga, pin the jewel on the crown and rounders.
Year 4 worked really hard to try and overcome the challenges of the games and made an effort to use their developing resilience and team work skills to enjoy the games.
Year 4 then closed their day with fun jubilee themed craft activities. All children also received special jubilee coins funded generously by the PTA. These coins celebrate the 2022 Platinum Jubilee with a special ‘Our Lady’s School’ engraving. Hopefully, in years to come the children at our school will cherish these reminders of an exciting day that will be part of history.
Tales Retold Sharing Day:
After half term, on Tuesday 28th June. Year 4 will be taking part in their sharing day at the Grand Theatre in Blackpool town centre. Year 4 have been working really hard with the knottedproject since September in their story led resilience workshops which has given the class an opportunity to use stories and the resilience framework to develop important life skills.
On this sharing day, lots of schools will come together to have a day of theatre games and also to perform their own Gangsta Granny inspired scenes on the Grand’s wonderful stage.
The children will need to be in school earlier on this day as the coach will be arriving at 8:30am to take us to the theatre and be returning at approximately 3:20pm, slightly later than our finish time.
Letters will be sent out with more information after half term.

As we tread further into the summer term, please remember to make use of plastic water bottles, sun cream and hats to make us prepared and ready for our final half term.
