What a week it has been! I think we can agree that it has surely been the hottest week of the school year. What better activity to do in the blistering heat? Make the children do lots and lots of running! Luckily, our sports day this year fell on a glorious sunny day. The children absolutely ran their socks off and showed such a healthy competitive spirit. It was Harcourt who dominated the Year 5/6 sports day and it was these points which led them to becoming overall Our Lady’s Sports Day Champions!
If that wasn’t enough, the following morning saw us carry out some more running but in a slightly different environment. Pajamas, teddies and parents were all present for our annual Gym Jam Jog festival. The overall funds raised is available on Mrs Gregan’s blog and it is an amazing amount.
Let’s Celebrate
Learner of the Week- This week our award goes to Hudson for being an enthusiastic and cooperative learner. You really stood out to me during our sports day this week. You were so enthusiastic about the whole afternoon and carried such a positive energy into every task, which really rubbed off on your team. Your teamwork skills were really on show too! Always cheering on your fellow teammates and you did not let your head drop when results didn’t go your way.
Virtue Star of the Week- Our virtues for this half term are love and compassion and our winner this week goes to Amelia. Outside play is always a delight but especially when we have weather like this. I love the way you play with your friends and the creative nature of your games. This kindness and duty to look after others is why you are such a valued member of our mini vinnies.
