Dancing, singing and laughing has most definitely been the theme for the week this week in Year 6! You are in for such a treat with their end of year play. When I watch them on stage now, I can’t believe some of them are the same children that started the play 3 weeks ago. Their confidence has grown so much and are now so much more comfortable on stage that they are bringing their characters fully to life! This week we have got over half way through the play! Please make sure Year 6 spend some time this weekend going back over all of their lines, thank you. This week we have been trying to sort costumes. We always try to source the outfits as much as we can ourselves, with little effort or cost from yourselves. If you have not heard about costumes as yet, then you will on Monday- sorry for the delay! This is a long process, so bear with us.
Year 6 have been so busy in class too, during play rehearsals, they have continued to work hard on their class novel ‘Wonder’, looking deeper in to the text by answering some tricky comprehension questions. We have also been researching the history of Blackpool, finding out fun facts abotu Blackpool Tower!
Year 6 have excelled in their jobs around the school this week and the teachers have been praising them on their support within the classroom, in fact I think they wished they were in there permanently. They have sat with the children in their class at lunchtimes to help keep the noise levels down, they have been supporting them in their work, reading with children and even building towers in Reception!
Bikeability has been enjoyed by all over the last two weeks, they even had a trip to Fairhaven Lake on Monday …
St Bede’s Transition
Next Thursday 3rd July children are invited to a transition day at St Bede’s. They are being picked up at 9:10am by members of staff from St Bede’s and will be dropped off back at school just before pick up time. Children all need to bring £2.80 (in the correct change) for their school dinner and their water bottle- please don’t forget. Please see the letter below for more details:

What has been your favourite memories at Our Lady’s?
Well done to Pippa
Pippa, you are so pro-active and hands on, always ready to help when needed and see what needs doing! We absolutely love the way you always have a positive outlook on any situation and make it your mission to praise people when you see others deserve this. What emotional intelligence you have! You are such a caring learning partner, thank you for always having patience and showing love to your classmates- you make our class a happy place to be! Your determination and resilience shines through, and how you faced your fears last Friday shows just how courageous you are- what an inspiration!
This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:

Love and Compassionate Stars
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that stop and notice how others are experiencing their lives, and how they feel, and why they say and believe what they do. Ultimately, it is what makes us kind and, at a deeper level, opens up the possibility of being loving through our just and merciful actions and forgiving words. This week we thank Sophia for always being compassionate and loving with others.
