This week has been a real celebration of what life is like at Our Ladys and the importance of our faith. Being inspected is always an axious time as everyone wants to ensure that we show our school and children in the very best light; but I need not worry. The most special part of of our school is the community that we have and the support that we give each other. From parents, to teachers, to governors, to staff and finally our gorgeous children - we are so incredibly lucky. Myself and governors have had initial feedback and we now wait for the report to be finalised; at that point we will be able to share it just before Easter. Thank you to everyone who completed the Parent View feedback, this is always so valuable and apprectiated.
I Will Give You Rest: Come
On the World Day of Prayer, we have come to school in the theme of LOVE. To love ourselves and the world which we have been given. The day is centred around the women of Nigeria and their call to prayer. We are incredibly lucky to have our wonderful Izioma who has helped us all to understand what life is like in Nigeria. She has come to school today in traditional clothes - I think you will all agree that she looks so very special. She has spent time in each class telling us about life in Nigeria so that we could learn something about her culture. Thank you so much!
Well done to our choir who today joined with Christians from our local area to celebrate The World Day of Prayer - they sang so beautifully!
As well as celebrating prayer, the children have been making their LOVE PLANTERS for someone who they love. Thank you to Mrs Tierney and Greg from Leafy Lytham who have organised it. Today was a fundraiser for the school PTFA. The non-uniform day has raised £323 for school. Once we have calculated planters, this too will be added. Thank you all so much.
Food bank donations for March - Biscuits. The foodbank have seen a significant surge in demand at their food bank over the past few weeks, making it increasingly challenging to meet the needs of those who rely on their services. Let’s help where we can!
World Book Day - Go All In!
World Book Day is one of the most joyous parts of the school calendar and when we ever suggest that we celebrate it in a different way, our Year 6 children are horrified - they love dressing up! The theme this year is to Go All In, to read anything and everything and find your reader identity. I must say - I think we have all found that. What a wonderful celebration of reading to launch us into the rest of the National Year of Reading! Next week, the Book Fair arrives in school from Wednesday. We have kept the tokens for World Book Day and will give these to the children next week ready for the Book Fair. We will have it from Wednesday 11th - Tuesday 17th March!
