This week we have been on the look out for dragons. So far in our learning we have discovered lots of different clues that could mean a dragon has been close by. In your homework book I would like you to record any new evidence you might find over the coming week.
You will need to draw what it is you have found, seen or heard and write a little bit about what it looked like or sounded like, where you discovered it and any other information that you think is important.
We can share all our findings together next week!
This week we have been busy with lots of different science activities. We have: discussed signs of Autumn, have started a daily weather chart, used our senses on our Autumn walk, tasted crisps, labelled our body parts and even investigated if you are the oldest in the class you will also be the tallest, as you get taller as you age. We discovered that just because you are older, it does not mean you are taller. We all grow at different rates and because we are all unique, we are all different height. This also linked with our RHE lesson about our bodies. We have also picked our class tree to observe through all of the seaons.
In Maths we have been comparing objects and saying if they are longer or shorter, we have loved all the practical activities and comparing a range of objects.
We loved Wednesday, we were inspired by gold medallist wheelchair rugby champion Stuart Robinson. We supported Year 2 and loved cheering and waving our flags to encourage them to keep going with the activities. We were very resilient and kept going even when we found it difficult and were hot and tired. Reception and Nursery then came in to support us while we completed our challenges. After the whole school came together for an assembly, where Stuart told us his amazing story of his determination and bravery. We all agree that anything is possible is you put your mind to it and do not give up! Please can you bring in sponsor forms and money in on Monday, thank you :).
We had our fourth KidSafe lesson this week. We discussed the importance of keeping our bodies safe and what to do if we have those yukky feelings. Please read the letter below to find out more.
We loved our PE session today we started our Gymnastic unit, we walked tall like gymnasts and performed a simple routine, four steps, a pencil roll, caterpillar walk and a jump. Miss Liddell and I were very impressed with the children’s routines.
Thank you for those who joined us at our Curriculum evening, it was wonderful to see everyone enjoying all the different activities.
Thank you for everyone who brought a £1 in for Brian House, we have enjoyed wearing our Pyjamas and loved listening to a story with our teddies.
Well done to our awardees: for super sentence writing and applying their phonics knowldge to support them.
Henry is going home with this person because they have has a super week at school, listened well during carpet input and tried their best.
This week I have started PE Superstars, these are awarded to children for working hard in their PE lessons. I will pick two children from each group, well done to these children for super routines and not giving up!
Sponsorship forms - Monday
Art project – Thank you for those who have already brought in lots of cereal boxes. Mrs Neves, our art teacher, is running an art project and needs your rubbish! She has asked if over the next week or so, Year 1 could bring in any empty cereal boxes, they have planned what they will be making next week. I am excited to see their final products.
Please check the home learning section for this week’s homework.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Drummond, Miss LIddell and Miss Johnson

What an inspirational week it has been at school, where we have really learned about the power of Resilience. On Wednesday we were all led in our sponsored event by this amazing athlete, who recently won Gold in the Olympics for wheelchair rugby. Afterwards we were treated to an assembly where Stuart talked to the children about how, despite his injury, he channeled his passion for sport to find one he could thrive in. It was powerful listening to a person who did not let adversity define him and the essence of who he is as a person.
Then on Thursday night we had our Curriculum evening in school where we learned about the power of Resilience again! It was so lovely to see so many families sharing our learning with us and we enjoyed exploring our Jesuit virtues together!
Within class this week, we have worked so hard! Children have been manipulating 4 digit numbers, they have been been news reporters, writing excellent reports about the miracle in the barn and also have started writng persuasive letters linked to our novel. We have explored friendship and kindness this week too, as it is a key theme in this novel and children ranked the characters according to their kindness - giving reasons from the story. Add to that swimming, net and wall games in PE, coding in computing and a lovely French lesson describing personalities - it has been a diverse week!
Let’s Celebrate!
This week’s certificate winners are Sophia and Ola for Tommy Turtle/Roger Robin certificates. Girls you have worked so beautifully together this week. You have helped each other, learned from your mistakes and encouraged each other to have a go. I am extremely proud of you.

Have a lovely weekend. God bless,
Mrs Lyons, Miss Hennessy and Mrs Mather.
Next week in Science, the children will be looking at how they have changed from when they were a baby. I would be so very grateful, if you could email me a photo of your child as a baby/toddler. If you could get these to me by Monday that would be wonderful. I really appreciate your help with this! Thank you!
You can either email me a picture: d.drummond@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk or sent a photo in and I can photocopy it.
This weeks spellings are::
The children will have their spelling test on Friday.
This week in Maths we have been discussing odd and even numbers and measuring. To consolidate their learning of counting, here are some IXL challenges for your child to have a go at. see this as an ongoing learning challenge and certainly not to be completed by next Thursday.
6. Compare size, weight and capacity
9. Build cube trains to measure length
11. Build cube trains to measure height
In English we have been learning about Nouns (naming words) and adjectives (describing words. Have a go at these challenges:
1. Compare pictures using adjectives
2. Find the picture that matches the action verb
Thank you
Miss Drummond
What a great start to the week, with our class assembly, all the children were brilliant. They were clear when saying their lines, didn’t need any reminders to come on the stage and sang beautifully. I am so proud of all the children, they all worked incredibly hard well done!
In Maths we have been busy leaning about odd and even numbers up to 10, we discovered that even numbers all have a pair and odd numbers have an odd one by itself. Ask your child if they can tell you about how they know a number is odd or even. We also compared objects using measurement, we set up different stations for the children to measure practically. We measured height, weight, length and distance.
We read the book Dangerous by Tim Warnes in English and learnt about nouns and adjectives. We used nouns to label things inside and outside our classroom. We all wrote adjectives for our main characters, we will use these next week to write sentences about Mole and Crocodile.
We have loved our Geography lessons this week, we discovered we live in the continent Europe, we found the UK on a world map and learnt about each country. What can you remember?
This morning, we gathered as a class to share a Remembrance Day prayer. We remembered those who have fallen in war and conflict and said prayers for all those who need our help around the world. We watched ‘Poppies’ and drew our own poppy fields. The children had a choice of using crayons, water pencils or oil pastels to create their artwork.
We had our third KidSafe lesson this week, where we learned all about how to keep ourselves safe when using technology. Please read the letter below to find out more.
On Thursday 17th November at 6pm, we will be welcoming both parents and children into school for a Curriculum Evening where there will be a variety of interactive stations around school for you to engage with. These activities will share information regarding aspects of our curriculum, our school’s virtues and Read Write Inc Phonics.
This will be a wonderful evening and an exciting opportunity for you to learn more about our schools curriculum and how we can work together to support your child throughout their learning journey. We are really looking forward to coming together as a whole school community once again to share how we promote that love of learning in the children.
We hope you can make it!
Well done to our Tommy Turtles for excellent Maths work this week.
Well done to all of Year 1 for an amazing assembly.
Henry is going home with this person for excellent concentration and focus this week.

Reading Books - Polite reminder that reading packets and books must be brought to school each day so we can read with the children in school. Thank you for your support with reading at home, it is really important that they have regular opportunities to read and build on these skills.
Art project - Mrs Neves, our art teacher, is running an art project and needs your rubbish! She has asked if over the next week or so, Year 1 could bring in any empty cereal boxes/cereal bar boxes All will be revealed to the children in their next art session! Again, thank you in advance!
Have a lovely weekend
Miss Drummond, Miss Liddell and Miss Johnson
What a busy but wonderful week we have had in Reception! There has been so much happening I’m not quite sure where to start…!
We have been actors, narrators, writers, artists, inventors and much much more. The children have such a thirst for learning and it’s fantastic to see them working together as a team, sharing their knowledge and learning from each other. The children have also loved sharing these experiences during our first two stay and play sessions. Thank you so much for coming along and getting involved in our play (I think tambourines will be on grown up's Christmas lists this year!).
We really hope you enjoyed the afternoons and we look forward to welcoming more grown ups next week!
Phonics: This week, as well as reviewing all of our previously learnt sounds, we have introduced the sounds sh (we call ‘sh’ special friends, two letters that make one sound), r, j and v. We have focused on the sound that the letter makes, writing the letter using the correct formation and suggesting / reading words with this initial sound. We have also been doing lots of Fred Talk so we can hear the sounds within words (e.g. h-a-t = hat).
Maths Mastery: This week we have continued with our focus on comparison by using language such as more than and fewer than to compare amounts. (‘Fewer than’ is used rather than ‘less than’ because the focus is on countable things). The children have become more confident using this language in full sentences and building on their understanding by explaining how they know. There have been some wonderful discussions e.g. “Pat has fewer than Sam because Sam has 6 and Pat only has 5 and I know that 5 is one less that 6”.
Language & Communication and Literacy: This week we have been narrators and actors and in particular, we have enjoyed the story of ‘The Enormous Turnip’. To help us learn the story, we drew a story map and thought of some actions. We enjoyed acting out the story and used exciting expression and story telling voices to bring it to life! Can you teach the story to your grown ups at home?
Personal Social Emotional Development and Understanding the world: We have already had some lovely family pictures which we have displayed in our home corner. These have sparked some wonderful discussions and the children are really enjoying sharing these special memories with each other. If you would be happy for us to display a family photograph in our classroom please send one to s.hartley@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk. If you have already shared a family photo for the pick up list and would be happy for us to use that, please let us know via email.
On Thursday 17th November at 6pm, we will be welcoming both parents and children into school for a Curriculum Evening where there will be a variety of interactive stations around school for you to engage with. These activities will share information regarding aspects of our curriculum, our school’s virtues and Read Write Inc Phonics.
This will be a wonderful evening and an exciting opportunity for you to learn more about our schools curriculum and how we can work together to support your child throughout their learning journey. We are really looking forward to coming together as a whole school community once again to share how we promote that love of learning in the children.
We hope you can make it!
Determined Sadie Spider: Aubree
Aubree, you have blown us away with your determination this week, especially in Phonics. You have remembered all of our new sounds (very speedily!) and did not give up even when you found the letter formation tricky. You’re doing so well with our Fred Talk as well, listening carefully to all of the sounds in our words. Its wonderful to see how much you are enjoying learning to read.
Well done Aubree, keep up this fantastic determination!
Brave Tommy Turtle: Leo P
Leo, you have been such a brave learner in Phonics this week and you have tried really hard with your letter formation. You have not been afraid to make mistakes because you have seen just how much you can achieve when you practise. It was wonderful to see you beaming with pride when you realised what you could do and we were incredibly proud too.
Well done for being a brave learner; always believe in yourself Leo!
On Friday 18th November we are having a pyjama day to raise money for Brian House who support children in need in our local area. Children can come to school in pyjama’s and trainers and we kindly ask that they bring a £1 donation which will be given to Brian House.

Reading Books - Polite reminder that reading packets and books must be brought to school each day so we can read with the children in school. Thank you for your support with reading at home, it is really important that they have regular opportunities to read and build on these skills.
School Bags - Now that we need extra layers and winter coats, our cloakroom area is beginning to get quite full! Please could you only send in one school bag, ideally this should be the blue school bags as these fit in the trays leaving space on the pegs for coats etc. If keyrings on bags could be limited to one, it is easier for them to fit in trays. Independence is a huge part of Reception and having fewer items makes things much easier for them to be independent; thank you for your understanding and support.
Outside Provision and Play - We use our outside classroom throughout the day and as the weather is getting colder, children will need warm coats, hats, and wellies. Please make sure these are clearly labelled to avoid getting lost.
As always, if you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact via email - s.hartley@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk
Have a wonderful weekend,
God bless,
The Reception Team
This week’s home learning is in home learning books.
Read moreFriday has come around once again in what seems like the blink of an eye! This week, I have seen such wonderful acts of kindness within our classroom. I can’t quite believe just how independent the children have become and the compassion and respect they show toward each other every day is a joy to witness. Thank you Year 2, you continue to be such a pleasure to teach!

Read moreAnother week completed and another week that has flown by. Time must really fly when you’re having fun. This week has been taken over the focus of our class assembly. We have been in the hall doing our dress rehearsals, along with script practices and our song. The children have really come together and put the effort into remembering their lines and really expressing themselves on stage. I cant’ wait for everyone else to see it in action on Tuesday 15th November. Today, we paid our respects as a school and took a minute silence for all those that lost their lives for us during the world wars. We discussed what remembrance day means to us, during assembly, by learning about some important figures such as Desmond Doss.
In Maths, we have been mastering our decimals, looking at tenths. The children have been representing decimals in so many different ways and have been completing larger decimal calculations, using the column method. At the end of the week, we introduced hundredths, where the children have learnt the relationships between ones, tenths and hundredths.
In RE, we have finished our creation topic by looking into God’s great helpers and looking into their lives to see what they did that made them stand out. We researched different saints, such as Martin De Porres and St Vincent De Paul, and the impact of all of their wonderful acts of kindness.
Jay for being an inquisitive learner: This week, you have asked so many curious questions throughout our learning, especially during our class novel, where you have been predicting the ending. Your contribution during group activities is excellent and you can work alongside anyone in the class.
Charlie for being an enthusiastic and focused learner: For always having a positive attitude towards your learning, where you have a go at every task that you do. You are full of resilience and enthusiasm, which is inspiring towards everyone in your class. You are such a supportive member of our class and you are always encouraging people around you.
Year 5 assembly- Our class assembly will be on Tuesday 15th November. We will be doing the assembly twice. The first one starting at 9:10am and then 9:35am. All family members are welcome to come along.
Curriculum evening- Will take place on Thursday 17th November at 6pm. This is a chance for parents to come to school and see what life is like at Our Lady’s. The evening will have lots of fun learning activities, which the children and parents can take part in.
Pajama Day- Will take place on Friday 18th November. This is to help raise money for Brian House so can the children bring in £1.
Christmas villages- Miss Neves has asked for children to bring in some used objects for future art lessons, which will be used for our christmas projects in December. Our class have been asked to bring in milk/juice cartons. Can children put these items in the recycling pod, which is just outside the create room.
Stuart Robinson- Due to concussion, our GB athlete Stuart Robinson had to postpone our PE afternoon. This has been resechuled for Wednesday 16th November, so children have got some additional time to collect their sponsors and to raise money for their PE activities. More information about this event is included in the forms, which the children were given last week.
Creativity has been flowing in abundance this week, outside on the playground.

This morning, we had a beautiful remembrance service in class to remember all those fallen victims of war and conflict, in history and in today’s world. It is always such a poignant, special part of the year.
This week has been a really enjoyable and purposeful one in Year 4. We have been flying in maths with such deep understanding of numbers to 10,000 and the importance of using bar modelling to represent problems - this helps us solve them. In English, we have progressed fat in Charlotte’s Web, whilst learning vital reading skills of inference and grammar skills of writing dialogue and complex sentences. We llaunched into our history topic with great gusto, as we have been learning how the Ancient Egyptian civilisation began around the River Nile. Children have done some super work in partners explaining why the River was such a gift to these people. We have also in RE, learned the meaning of the Our Father prayer and reflected on how we can be like the prophets He chose - perfectly linking to our virtues this half term, ‘Intentional and Prophetic.’ We have also started our computing unit on Coding. Add a bit of swimming and some super PE and you can see what a varied week we have had!
This week, we have completed our 5th Kidsafe lesson about what to do if your trusted adults are arguing and how this can make us feel. We also recapped the last 4 sessions and children evaluated their understanding of this important learning.
Please click the button below to find out more detail about this lesson.
Let’s Celebrate!
This week’s certificate winners are Michael for a Lizzie Ladybird certificate. Michael, you are becoming such an excellent learner because you listen and try so hard to improve. I love your smiling, proud face!
Also, Rose receives a Sadie Spider certificate. Rose, you are pushing yourself to grasp concepts in maths and you always give your very best effort. You are lovely to teach!
Swimming stars this week go to Luke, Roseanna and Pippa - great swimming!
Music stars this week, were Luke and Layla for focus and effort.
PE stars this week were Liam and Bella for super focus and effort.
Please could year 4 collect kitchen rolls for an Art recycling project. They will be making a very exciting Christmas village as part of a whoe school project!
On Wednesday 16th November, we will be visited in school by Stuart Robinson. Stuart is a gold medal winning Paralympian, who represented GB in the recent Olympic games in wheel-chair rugby. This has been postponed from last Friday.
The children have all brought a sponsor form home for them to collect as many sponsors as they can before the event next Friday.
On Thursday 16th November it is our whole school curriculum evening at school - beginning at 6pm. Please come along as a family, where your child can show you how we learn at our school and you can find out lots about developing resilience and virtues.
On Friday 17th November it is Pyjama day at school. Your child can come in dressed in their PJ’s and trainers and lets not forget their favourite teddy! Please bring £1 each which we will donate to Brian House a local children’s charity.
Have a lovely weekend. God bless,
Mrs Lyons, Miss Hennessy and Mrs Mather.
Another fabulous week at nursery! We have completed our firework/colour display, complete with sounds that we heard on Bonfire Night. We splatted paint everywhere just like Jackson Pollock!!! Take a look at the photos.
Take a look at our field of poppies!! We all made a remembering poppy.
We have also updated our snack list. Please take a few minutes to read it. Click on the button below.

Maths Mastery
Four is the new block on the block and he can’t wait to share how much he loves to be square!
We have been:
learning 4 is one more than 3
counting to 4
the structure of 4 as a square number
recognising 4 items without counting (this is called subitising)
Click here to meet 4!
On Wednesday 16th November, school is being visited by Stuart Robinson. Stuart is a gold medal winning Paralympian, who represented GB in the recent Olympic games in wheel-chair rugby.
Stuart’s visit is part of an event for Sports for Schools. This is an opportunity for the children to take part in a sporting event organised by Stuart, and to then hear about his story as part of an assembly. He will be with us all afternoon.
Stuart is incredibly inspirational. I had the pleasure of meeting him last year and hearing about the life-changing events that led him to where he is now. I have no doubt that the children will take a huge amount away in terms of attitude, resilience and living life to the full.
This event is also an opportunity to raise money for our school - for PE, Sport and Active Learning.
The children have all brought a sponsor form home for them to collect as many sponsors as they can before the event next Friday.
Craig McCann visited our school three years ago as part of the same event. We managed to raise over £1000 for our school - it was fabulous! Let’s see if this year we can do even better!
Could all our Wednesday children please come to nursery in trainers and PE clothes as we will be joining in with school at this event!
Children in Need
Friday 18th November 2022 is Children in Need Day. The children are invited to pay £1 and wear pyjama’s for the day. Please no slippers, sensible shoes or trainers. It’s always a fun day and a good way of donating to charity. All proceeds will go to Brian House.
Brian House cares for local children with very complex needs and life-limiting conditions. They face huge challenges, but with our help they can continue to support children and their families at every step of their difficult and often unpredictable journey…
Colette’s Blog
Hello everyone,
We have reached the end of another busy week…where do the children get all their energy from??
At the beginning of the week we discussed our experiences of Bonfire night and the children told us all about the wonderful colours and sounds they saw in the night sky.
Afterwards we turned our discussion to Remembrance Day and we wondered what poppies looked like and wanted to know why some people wear them in November. To help us understand we have been watching a beautiful children’s animated story where we were able to see how some small animals reacted to the fighting during WW1. Click here to watch the story together.
We have also been looking at lots of numbers!! We have been introduced to number 4 and have been playing lots of number games. There have been some monkey numbers hiding all over Nursery too.
Finally, remember to keep your eye on the website for any important information that you might need.
Have a lovely weekend together.

Hello everyone
We have had another busy week. We have continued to make firework pictures, using lots of fluorescent paint and glitter. We have also learnt about Remembrance Day and why we wear poppies. We had a go at painting poppies and have made a display or our artwork. We also went to Chapel and sang our loudest songs, we hope that the neighbours like our singing too.
In PE we have danced with the Cherry Tots, exploring sad and glad and also yes and no. Just look at our sad faces! Its not easy pretending to be sad when we are having so much fun.
Our learning continued as we consolidated our knowledge of the letter sounds, ‘a’ ‘d’ ‘m’ ‘s’ and ‘t’ with lots of games and challenges. We also met number 4 this week and explored how we can make number 4 in lots of different ways.
We have also practised really hard being independent., putting our shoes and socks on after PE and putting our coats on by ourselves. Here is a really good method for children to do this by themselves, ask your chid to show you how thy do it. Click here to watch.
Here’s a few extra photos from Justine!

Hello everyone!
What a fun week we have had! I have watched some lovely role – play taking place this week. The children have enjoyed making food for each other and taking on different family roles in the house inside and outside. This is great for developing the children’s friendships and their language and conversational skills. It has also provided the opportunity to talk about our likes and dislikes and how we are all different.
We have also been helping each other and taking turns, especially in the garden. Barbara brought us in some big new logs – some of us were a bit wary so our friends helped us get up on them and walk across them. It was great fun!
We have carried on practising our five phonics sounds this week (m, a, s, d and t). The children are really excited when they find them around the classroom or in their books. Maybe you could find some around the house at home and send us a picture. We also played ‘Snowball Phonics’. Each child got one of the sounds on a piece of paper, then screwed it up into a snowball and threw it into the middle. We then found a new snowball, opened it up and had a look to see if it was the same sound as before or a new one. We also found a friend with the same sound.
We finished the week with a minutes silence to Remember those who were hurt in the war. We have been discussing this over the week and have made some lovely poppy pictures for the classroom and in our learning books. This allowed us to continue our discussions about feelings. Here is a link to the CBeebies video we watched: Click here.
Have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you on Monday

Please come join us!
Nativity
This week we have started to learn our songs for the Christmas Nativity. In previous years ( pre Covid ) we always joined Reception for a whole Foundation Stage production. I am pleased to say that this year there will be live performances! We can’t wait!
The children (and staff) are so very excited!
The Nativity performance dates are:
Tuesday 6th December- this is a dress rehearsal performed for the rest of the school
Wednesday 7th December- Parent performance
Thursday 8th December- Parent performance
Parts have not yet been allocated but we are hopeful that we will have all the costumes that we need. Sewing volunteers if we need them are always useful….let me know if you can help.
Whilst we are talking all things ‘Christmas’ can I remind everyone that the Christmas Party is being held on Monday 19th December 9.30-11.30 am (if is not your child’s usual session), otherwise times are the same.
I think that could be enough information for this week! Oh, just before I go, don’t forget to keep checking Purple Mash for more home learning!
Enjoy your weekend
God bless
