Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School
Reminder…
Art Shirts Needed
Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, & Y6
All classes will require an old named t.shirt this half term. This should be big enough to cover school uniform, an adult tshirt is perfect. These will be kept in class trays and brought to Art each week.
Normally we would use the Create room shirt but due to civid restrictions, each child will need their own.
Thank you in advanced.
To spread some Christmas cheer to the residents of Stella Matutina, the children in Year 6 recorded a carol concert to make them smile. On Christmas Eve, we wanted to share this with you all.
We wish you a happy and holy Christmas.

Well done children! We have reached the end of the term and what a term it has been!
We would like to say a big “thank you” to you all for all of your smiling faces and support throughout the term. The children have been amazing and they have really settled well into the different routines and life in the juniors. They have worked their socks off throughout the term and really shown how much they have grown. We are really looking forward to watching them grow their brains even more when we come back in January.
We have continued to be busy with our learning throughout this week as well as having lots of fun and enjoying our Danceathon on Tuesday and our Christmas party yesterday. The children were so excited when they saw the little video that we made when Father Christmas arrived at school to deliver some gifts. Have a look at our photos to see some of the things that we have been doing. Thank you for all of your kind donations towards our Danceathon, we will be making our donation to Street Life when we return to school in January.
This week our certificates go to Leon and Edi. Leon received a Concentrating Cooper Crab certificate for his focused work and determination to do well. Well done Leon. We are loving seeing you so focused. Keep up the good work. Edi received an Enthusiastic Bobby Bee certificate. You are always smiling and happy to do your work Edi, you are also a lovely learning partner too. Keep up the good work. Well done boys.
We are delighted that Harvey, Lily-Mae (again), Max (again), Franek (again), Georgia and Stanley (3 times WOW!) have achieved 100% of their reading targets this week. Well done children. I am so proud of all of the reading that everyone has been doing. You are all doing an amazing job. I can’t wait for next term to watch everyone reaching their targets all over again.
Well done also to Betsy who got this week’s Lunchtime Role Model of the week and also to Leon who received Jacqui’s Marvellous Manners certificate this week. What an amazing week you have had Leon- 2 certificates in 1 week. You have made us so proud!
We hope that you enjoyed the Christmas Nativity video that the whole school made and was posted on the Discover page earlier in the week.
There is no Home Learning over the holidays. Instead spend some fun times together and enjoy this special time of the year.
Please do continue to read as much as possible over the holiday. (Remember that you can quiz on books after the holidays if you want.)
We would just like to say another “thank - you” for all of your support over the term. We hope that you all have a Happy and Holy Christmas and enjoy some relaxing and fun times together as a family. Best wishes for the New Year.
Take care and stay safe

To all of my wonderful Year 1 families, I just want to say thank you. I am beyond grateful for all of the extra learning you do with the children at home; I know how much the children love sharing their learning with you. They have made wonderful progress since September and every step has been magical. I could not be prouder of them!

Read moreWell … Christmas is here, and what a term it’s been! I couldn’t be more proud of the children. They have adapted to new school routines seamlessly and have taken everything in their stride. Being together with only our class bubble hasn’t always been easy, but the children have shown what resilient and kind young people they are. I also want to say a huge thank you to you, our Year 2 families! You have been so supportive in the strangest of times and your children have continued to grow.

Read moreWow! We made it to the end of term and what a term it has been. This week has been so much fun as we have come together as a school family but still safely in our class bubbles. The whole school online nativity is beautiful and the nursery nativity is adorable, if you have not seen it yet, head over to the discover page and the nursery page for a real treat. Thursday saw all classes having their special Christmas parties and of course a tasty Christmas lunch, prepared by our cook Jacqui and her team. It’s been a different celebration this year but one we won’t forget and one that brought us all closer together.

Read moreAlthough we have not been able to share in our celebrations as our whole school family this week, our class has felt like a family. We have been taking care of each other, still working hard but having so much fun too along the way!
This week has seen us complete our lovely class nativity - portraying the Three Wise Men’s visit (see school blog) Then we had a fantastic time on Tuesday, taking part in our Danceathon in classes and also, by request on the playground too! Thanks so much for all your kind donations. So far, our class has raised £122.00 for streetlife! We’ve even had some Christmas French.
For English, we have also been studying this Christmas poem. The children have loved learning it and putting it together. Enjoy!
Thursday was our Christmas party day and what a jolly lot the children were! We played party games in class such as good old musical chairs and our special secret santa game. A beautiful Christmas dinner was shared by all. Then time for a movie and some popcorn too.
The children were astounded when a video appeared on our screen of Santa in our class - he delivered presents to all classes around the school! Many theories were flying about - How did he get here? Why didn’t we see him? All very exciting!
Let’s Celebrate!
This week a Lizzie Ladybird certificate goes to Saul for making so much improvement this last term. A Sadie Spider certificate has gone to Max for being so determined to meet his reading target and improve his spellings. A Bobby Bee certtificate has gone to Mason for often doing his own exciting poems and stories to bring in for us all to enjoy.
20 children have met their reading target this half term! Excellent Year 4. We are very proud of you.
PE stars this week were John’Joseph for getting into spaces and confidently calling for others to pass to him. Also Lena who did some amazing interception to get the ball in basketball!
Your children have all worked so hard this term and have each overcome so many obstacles. The class feels like a big family, growing in trust and love for one another. I have loved helping them to grow and learn and look forward to the new year to teach them again.
But as we are all exhausted, all that is left to say is have a lovely Christmas and a good rest. Best wishes and God bless,
Mrs Lyons, Mrs Mather and Miss Forster.
What a week to finish a fantastic term! We couldn’t be prouder of the way the children started and settled in these unusual times. Each one of them has shown enthusiasm, kindness, friendship and progressed in so many ways!
Read moreWe made it and I could not be prouder of my whole school community; wonderful families, devoted staff and hard - working children. We are all so very blessed. This year has been incredibly exhausting, but by far the most rewarding term of my teaching career.

Please sit back and let the Christmas spirit enter your hearts.
I am sure that you would like to join me in thanking Clare, who wrote this wonderful production and Colette, who filmed each scene. Also, our thanks must go to Mrs. Gregan who edited each image, song and video so beautifully.
Finally, on behalf of the whole nursery team we would like to say a huge ‘ thank you’ to you all for your wonderful support this term.
Have a happy and Holy Christmas and we will see you in January.
