Year 3 Football

Following the cancellation of the Year 3 football tournament, schools were left to organise their own fixtures if wanted. Next Tuesday, 28th April, we have rescheduled the Year 3 football to take place at Heyhouses. The children will play there v Heyhouses.

The children will need football boots and shin pads. School football kit will be given out next week. The children will need to be collected from school and taken straight to Heyhouses. Matches start at 3.50pm and finish by around 4.40pm at the latest.

Our Lady White: Daniel, Benji, Seamus, Eliana, Olivia and Henry

Our Lady Blue: Ronnie, Alfie, Theo, Leo T, Emilia, Reyan and Daisy

Representing the school is a big thing and for me, conduct is the most important part of this; ability is second. Playing for school is a proud moment and should be not taken lightly - I am excited that the children will experience this; we have not played Year 3 football before. We all have to adhere to a code of conduct to ensure that the children have an enjoyable experience.

No dogs are allowed on site and parents will be unable to use any facilities there.

Year 5 & 6 Swimming Gala

This year’s swimming gala for Year 5 and 6 children will take place on Friday 22nd May from 9am - 12 midday at Palatine Leisure Centre. Usually, those children who want to trial for the swimming team are taken to St Annes Swimming Pool to try out, but with the swimming pool now being closed, we have to try something different.

To represent the school in the gala, your child has to be a strong and competent swimmer in a 25m pool. They will be racing against other children from other schools. Please complete the form below indicating whether your child would want to represent the school and their preference of strokes; as well as some swimming experience. We can then look to build a team with the information that we have got.

Children seleted will need to be taken to Palatine in the morning, parents are welcome to stay to support, and then collected to be brought back to school once the event is over.

DANCE COMPETITION ARRANGEMENTS 2026

The time is here and we have now finished our dance, we are so excited to share it with you all. Here are the arrangements for next Monday …

We will leave school at 12:45pm by coach to the Blackpool Tower, where 4 members of staff will be taking the group and staying with them in to the evening. The children will be there all afternoon, to allow time to practise and go through the show. Therefore, they will need to bring a packed lunch for their evening meal. We recommend that they have a hot school dinner for lunch before they go, to ensure they have something warm and filling before a long afternoon/evening. Snacks throughout the event are welcomed, but please no sweets/ chocolate and no fizzy drinks, although one juice is permitted. As it is a long afternoon, with waiting time, please feel free to pack a good book, any homework to complete and maybe a puzzle/ colouring book to keep them busy (no electrical devices or aything of value). Children will not be able to see any of the audience before or during the show.

Children are only permitted to leave once the show and results have finished, due to safeguarding reasons. Once the competition has finished, children will then go backstage to collect their belongs and then we will take them to our school’s pick up point which is outside the entrance to Primark, so please meet us there. Please make sure you tell us when you take your child, to ensure a safe transition as it does get very busy!I will have all mobile contact numbers in case there are any problems, so  please ensure you have your mobiles with you on the night. Please fill in the form below to let us know who will be taking your child home on the evening:

Doors open to the public on the evening at 5:45pm- make sure you have your tickets. The anticipated finsihing time is 9:30pm.

Please make sure that children have their black leggings in school this Friday and then bring them again in to school on Monday.

Children can wear their PE kits this day. Please make sure you pack plenty of water and if your child needs an inhaler, please ensure they have this. We will also door hair in the afternoon, so pack a brush and plenty of bobbles/ hair grip- boys gel? We are hoping to add a bit of face glitter and hair glitter- we will also be asking permission on the form for this.

Any questions or queries about the event, please come and see me.

Dance Update

Dance rehearsals are coming on so well, they are all such stars- focused, enthsuaistic and willing to give everything a go! We are so excited for you to see what we have created!

We are now getting together the costumes and equipment for our performace, to ensure all children look the part and feel confident on the stage! We are running with the Olympic theme and all children have their own colours from the Olympic ring. All we ask that you provide your child with straight-legged, plain black leggings or skins.

Could we please ask for a small contribution of £10 towards the rest of the costumes and the transport to the event, which is now on ParentPay. This will cover the rest of the costume, which is a coloured t-shirts, elasticated ribbons for on their arms, hair and face glitter, hair accessories and as mentioned before will go towards the coach to the event. Your contribution will help us embark on this exciting journey, giving the children an opportunity to showcase their hard work and talent. They have been practicing with enthusiasm and dedication, and we want to make sure their efforts are celebrated in the best possible way.

Together, we can make this event unforgettable for our young dancers!

Wyre & Fylde Dance Competition 2026

Our Lady Star of the Sea is taking part in the Wyre and Fylde 2026 Dance Competition at the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool on Monday 2nd February.

Schools will perform and receive a score from a panel of judges. Each act will receive positive feedback following their performance from one of the judges. The theme for 2026 is "Rhythms of Unity": Celebrating the spirit of major sporting events happening all over the world in 2026 where sport, culture and imagination come together as one.

The competition will mean that we will spend the afternoon and the evening at the Tower Ballroom, but specific details will be given after Christmas.

This is not like the annual dance fesitival we usually take part in, therefore auditions for this will take place next Monday 15th December, during the school day, and the dancers will find out whether they have made it in to the dance competition before they leave for Christmas. The form below is an expression of interest only and will tell me how comitted the children are to rehearsals, as well as whether they will be auditioning in school next Monday. As we only have 4 weeks to put a fully choreogrpahed routine together, attendance is vital.

Dance rehearsals taking place in school hall for 4 consecutive weeks on Monday 3:30 - 4:45pm and Friday mornings from 8:30am - 9:15am.

Year 6 Football A Tournament

As the boys will probably have told you tonight, we have had to withdraw out entry to the football tournament next week. Unfortuantly, the date for the tournament has now changed to the Friday of next week, due to venue issues, which clashes with the bikeability course that is already booked in for them. With it also being Day 2 when they will be out and about on the roads around school, this has to take priority and something that they have to complete.

There will be other opportunities for the boys to play in the Spring term and more tournaments to enter so we will hold out for that. I am sure amongst their other footballing commitments, this is something that can be passed for now. I know arrangements will have been made so I can only apologise; it is just something out of our control.

Year 4 Football Teams

Information for the Year 4 Football friendly on Tuesday 4th November. We have had to change the match format due to the failing light at this time of the year, impending weather and to ensure that both matches can take place.

Autumn 2 Extra-Curricular Timetable

Please find below the clubs on offer for this next half term. Keep an eye on the dates of when things start and finish. Due to Christmas, they are all at different times.

Please sign up to the clubs using the buttons below.

Year 4 Mixed Football Match- Tuesday 4th November 2025

On Tuesday 4th November, at Heyhouses Primary School, we will be taking a team of Year 4 children to play in a school football match. This will be the first week back after half term.

This will be a mini tri fixture tournament with ourselves, Heyhouses and St Thomas’

These teams will be mixed and depending on numbers, we may take two teams who would both play one game each.

If you are interested in playing, please sign the form below and attend our training session this coming Monday 20th October. The training session will begin at 8am before school so children will need to come to school in their football kit and bring their unifrom in a spare bag. They will need to wear a football kit (any football kit or sports wear appropriate for the session), shin pads and boots.

Sporting Fixtures for Autumn Term

Training is underway and after meeting with PE leads from across the cluster last week, the fixtures are ready to go. This year we are operating slightly differently and having mini tournaments instead of a running league. We have been put into a tri-fixture with other schools near us. We will be playing Heyhouses and St Thomas’s meaning two fixtures on one night, instead of consecutive weeks. This will then be repeated in the Spring term. All of the dates for the fixtures are below. Each tri-festival will be played at Heyhouses - please get the children there as soon as you can after school. The event will finish around 5:15pm.

Teams will be published on Monday so that arrangements can be made for the following weeks.

There is also additional football tournaments this term, which you can see below. We ask for parents support with transporting the children to these events. They are well ahead of time, so pop them in your diaries now.

You will also see that there will be a Year 4 Football Festival. We are really trying to broaden our offer in the cluster. This will be after half term. More details about training etc will be released nearer the time.

UPDATE - B TEAM FOOTBALL MATCH

We have just heard that Heyhouses are unable to produce two pitches for next Tuesday’s match therefore both teams will still play, just one after the other at Heyhouses school so do make your way there. Both matches will be played at Heyhouses. Please do stay to support each other if you can.

4pm v Heyhouses: Gus, Sean, Seth, Rory, Toby, Finley, Tommy and Louis

4.30pm v St Thomas: William, Isaac, Heath, Albert, Hugo H, George C, Myles, George L, Fletcher

Both teams are entered into the tournament on Thursday 21st November.

Autumn 1 Extra-Curricular Timetable

With a new school year comes a new timetable for extra curricular opportunities. If you click on the button below, it will take you to the timetable. Please do check the starting dates for the clubs as some of them differ. For the children in Year 5 and Year 6 who will be representing the school team, fixtures will follow. There is a cluster meeting next week where the format will be decided but we are probably going to be moving towards a mini-tournament approach, rather than weekly fixtures. This will allow more children to take part and represent the school team. Once this has been decided, I will let you know dates.
