What a week it has been! We have entered the final month on our schooling calendar with us only weeks away from the finishing line! With this time of year, comes lots of exciting days out with this week being our transition week at Our Lady’s. Wednesday saw us off to St Bedes for our high school transition day, along with five other schools in our Catholic cluster. The theme for the day was Science and Technology, with us being split into small groups and going off carrying out experiments and cooking challenges! The children’s behaviour, attitude and representation of the school was impeccable. I could not be prouder of Year 5. As Mr Marsden (St Bede’s Headteacher) said, ‘I can always spot an Our Lady’s child when they come to my school based on the way they conduct themselves’. Mrs Gregan came with us and was on point as chief photographer.
The following day was also transition themed with this being Our Lady’s move up day, with Year 5 moving up to Year 6 for the morning. Mrs Harrison could not speak highly enough of the children, carrying the same qualities from the previous day.
We have continued to develop our cricketing skills in PE this week by focusing on our batting technique.
End of Year Play- Costumes
Details are listed below in regards to tickets and dates of the performances. Our class have been split into mermaids and indians (your child will know which one they are playing for the play). These costumes need to be brought into school ASAP in a plastic bag with your name on the bag.
Mermaids/Mermen- Swimming costume (girls) and a vest or plain t-shirt for the boys. If possible, choose colours that are bright to fit the theme of the scene so blues and greens would be good if possible.
Indians- pair of brown, grey or black shorts. The rest of these costumes have been provided.
Let’s Celebrate
Learner of the Week- This week our award goes to Matilda for being a focused and cooperative learner. Even with our learning being disrupted with play practice and trying to work in intense heat in our classroom, your commitment, enthusiasm and kindness never drops below your incredible standards. This just shows that you are ready to lead our school as a role model and the responsibilities of a Year 6 pupil.
Virtue Star of the Week- Our virtues for this half term are love and compassion and our winner this week goes to John-Paul. Transition week is always a fun and exciting week with lots of new opportunities but it is also important in making good impressions. You do this every single day Johnny so I had absolutely no worries about you in your transition days this week- an excellent role model.
