Year 5 Weekly Blog 07.02.25- ' To be a follower of Christ, you must stop thinking about yourself'

How can we be like Jesus? that is the question that we all wish to know and in order to do so, we must follow in his footsteps. To know what it means to be a follower, you must relfect upon yourself and analyse your own actions and how they impact others. We have been looking at how the beatitudes are a guide for us from Jesus in how to be his follower and reflecting on how we can live within these.

What a week it has been! It has truly been a week of representing Our Lady’s and giving back to the community. This started on Tuesday as we took a short trip down to St Annes library to rejoice in National Storytelling Week. It was amazing to see the layout and presentation of the library as we have just recently restructured our own school and class library.

On Wednesday, we carried out our biggest eco job of the year as we walked down to the pier and helped plant Christmas trees on the dunes to help protect and preserve the future environment. We were blessed with such beautiful weather and the children worked tirelessly and excellently with each other throughout the afternoon.

We have really been stepping up our mastery of number this week by looking at large multiples of four and how we can partition this in order to work out the missing factor. his will help massively as we begin working with ratios.

In English, all of our mini story writing and creative descriptive lessons have been coming together as we have started planning our final sci story of this half term- basing our plot on ‘E.T’.

Conversation starters

My Happy Mind: To finish off our appreciate module, the children have been drawing their ‘gratitude frames’ in which they have created a picture collage of all the things they are grateful for in life. Tell your household what was in your gratitude frame and what would be in theirs if they were to draw one?

Class Novel: In our class novel, we have just reached the part in our book where Leonard has arrived in England to reunite with his Dad and has noticed the significant difference from moving to a small town into a big city. Have your Mum or Dad ever lived in a big city? If so, where did they live? What was it like? How does it compare to living in Lytham St Annes?

Let’s Celebrate!

• Toby for being an creative and focused learner: As you know from myself and Mrs Gregan, we admire beautiful book presentation and you Toby have this in abundance. I can tell instantly just how focused you are in lessons because you take such care of your work and how this is presented. To go with this, your creative writing has been outstanding, using your rainbow writing practice and imagination to create some fantastic pieces of work. I cannot wait to read your final story.

• Virtue Star of the Week: This week, our virtue star goes to Josh. During our eco trip, we have seen another side to you Josh. You were so enthusiastic throughout the whole afternoon and you got stuck in straight away and worked your socks off. This showed that you care for our environment and you are hopeful of making our area a better place.

Year 4 Weekly blog Friday 7th February "Come follow me and I will make you fishers of people."

We have had a lovely week in year 4. In our RE sessions this week we have looked at The Creed and why catholics say it. What does it remind us about our beliefs? We have examined the gospel story where Peter is told - you will ‘catch people’ instead of fish and discussed the meaning of this.

We had a very meaningful day on Monday at the Grand Theatre. Children took part in debates, they had a workshop appreciating what accents and dialects are and how the differ from Standard English. They also learned about how to be excellent, active listeners. Big congratulations to Bea, who got up on stage to say what she had learned.

We have studied digestion in Science, made animations in Computing, learned about French festivals and created some wonderful Shakespeare soundscapes and physical theatre.

This week...

A great week at nursery! We have been busy tidying the garden in preparation for planting in a few weeks. We have also noticed signs of Spring! We have noticed the daffodils and snowdrops in the nursery garden…warmer days are on the way.

Worship

In this weeks Gospel we explored the word ‘follow’ and what Jesus is asking when he said to Peter that they should be fishers of people. We read from Luke 5:1-11and watched a short video to help us understand the miraculous catch of fish the fishermen landed after following Jesus’ instructions click here to watch. We discussed what a ‘miracle’ is (an unusual or wonderful event that is believed to be caused by the power of God) and if have ever witnessed one.

We learnt that it is important to make the right choice about who or what we follow. Jesus asks each and everyone of us to make following Him our most important priority and that is what we have tried to do this week.

Spa afternoon

On Wednesday afternoon we had a relaxing spa afternoon. We transformed nursery into a Zen area with candles lavender diffusers and dimmed lights. We started by engaging in mindfulness and yoga activities. We then took turns to soak our feet in warm bubbly water and massage our friends hands with soothing hand cream. Everyone was beginning to feel a bit sleepy so we laid down on squishy mats, closed our eyes and placed cool slices of cucumber on them whilst listening to tranquil music….it was sooooo lovely. I hope everyone had a good nights sleep.

Michelle’s blog

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's blog 

We have had such a lovely, chilled week this week as we have enjoyed our very own spa day. This was a lovely experience for the children as we  pampered our friends with a hand massage.

We have continued to develop our fundamental movement skills in PE, concentrating this week on throwing and catching and hopping.

Hopping on one leg is really tricky. Why don't you challenge your child to a hopping race. You can do this anywhere and it's giving your child some much needed practice.

We have also met some new letter sounds this week and have worked hard d to remember these. We have also had time to practice writing these sounds as well.

Our learning has continued as we consolidated our understanding of number five. We have had a go at throwing the dice and saying which number it lands on without counting the spots. This is tricky so any games involving using a dice will help your child to subitise.

Finally, thank you to everyone who has booked appointments for Parents Day on the 14th February. If you haven't, then I do still have a couple of slots available.

Have a lovely weekend

Emma’s blog

Hello everyone, 

We have had a fabulous week of learning. The children have had fun making 5 with their fingers, working out that we can make 5 in different ways. For example 2 on one hand and 3 fingers on the other hand make 5, or 4 and 1 make 5.

The children have been giving each other high 5s, and they have even been drawing around their hands and printing high 5s on their floor book, which looks great. Here is a game I think you will like. Can you feed the teddy 5 or less cakes. Click here.

I'm looking forward to showing you the children’s floor book on Parents Day, as the children have worked so hard. They have really enjoyed getting involved with their book.

We have also been practicing writing some of the sounds that we are leaning. They are tricky, but the children have enjoyed trying to have a go. It really helps to say the rhymes that go with sounds, as this will help the children to learn to write the letters as well as learning the sounds.

I can't believe next week is our last week before we break up for half term. Time flies when you are having so much fun.

Have a wonderful weekend, and see you all on Monday.

Year 6 Weekly Blog 31.01.25 'The one who has hope lives differently; the one who has hope has been granted the gift of a new life'

This week our liturgies have been centred around the Jubilee year- the year of hope. We have now launched this across the school, this is a landmark moment in the life of the global church. We, as a school community, are invited to join together as pilgrims of hope, pledging to work together for God’s kingdom of justice, peace and love. This week, we have created our Holy door leading to our classroom, welcoming hope for ourselves and others every time we enter…

Where has our learning taken us this week?

We have had another great week in Year 6, with lots of hard work, resilience and of course laughter! In English we have been practising using our active and passive voice, use of semi-colons, reading skills and have kicked off our topic on Romeo and Juliet. In maths, we have been scaling up and down, using our knoweldge oif number to problem solve, finding factors of numbers and missing numbers in calculations- all in preparation for next week where we will start our long division learning- children need to be able to retrieve their mulitplication facts quickly to be successful in this area, so please keep working with your children at home, if you feel like they need some extra practise! In French this week, we have been translating football vocabuary, in Music we have been harmonising and using notation and in Science we have conducted an experiement, testing the hypothesis: Do fizzy drinks contain more sugar than fruit juices?

Leading Learners

Well done to Ruby this week.

Ruby, you always have such a wonderful attitude towards your learning and this motivates the people around you. You are always focused and determined in any task you are given, your effort across all subjects makes you a super role model and we are always impressed with your reflections in RE.

Faithfilled and Hopeful Stars

This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that show our two virtues of the half term in their actions. Children who show great faith in themselves, others and God. We will also be spotting children who are hopeful, who show hope for the future, enabling us to trust ourselves and those around us with the decisions that will shape our future. These children are the role models of the school. This week we thank Archie for being faithfilled and hopeful.

Year 5 Weekly Blog 31.01.25- ‘Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and a good thing never dies’

As we are coming to the halfway mark of Year 5, the children’s focus, reflection and attitude has really been visible this week in the expectations of upper juniors. To mark this checkpoint throughout the year, Mrs Gregan brought together all of Year 5 and 6 together to discuss leadership throughout the school and what we can do to improve on this. In English, we have been using various creative writing techniques in our sci-fi topic to create description such as extended noun phrases, modifying nouns/verbs, similes and personification. In Maths, we have stepped up our multiplication game and have been using partitioning and factorisation to help break down some trickier and larger sums.

We have picked up our French topic again which has been all things space. This links perfectly with our science topic as children are going into the lesson with so much knowledge. We have recently been comparing planets using French adjectives and how to construct this within a French sentence.

We have been getting through the chapters of our class novel, the ‘Windrush Child', as we reach the stage where Leonard, a young boy from Jamaica, comes to England to start a new life and rekindle with his father.

Let’s Celebrate!

• Tilly for being an enthusiastic and focused learner: With the launch of our new class library, I always had you in mind for this role. Not just throughout this week but all year you have been so enthusiastic about your reading and then bringing this to life in your creative writing. Just keep doing what your doing Tilly!

  
  Virtue Star of the Week: This week, our virtue star goes to Grace. You already know that manners cost nothing and yet these are just second nature to you.

Year of Jubilee 'Pilgrims of Hope’

Every 25 years, we have a Jubilee Year, a moment of significance in the Church when we refocus and open ourselves to special graces. This Jubilee Year is entitled ‘Pilgrims of Hope’.

This week nursery completed their door…take a look, we are very proud.

Next week we ‘hope’ to take a ‘pilgrimage’ to look at everyone else’s door. If you would like to find out more and join our Pilgrimage click here.

Michelle’s Blog

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's blog 

We have had such a busy week. This week we met number 5 and have explored how many ones are in five. 

We have also found out about how letters are delivered. We wrote 2 letters, one to Barbara and one to Mrs Gregan last week and we walked to the post box to post them. They were both surprised and delighted to receive their letters in the post.

It has been Chinese New Year this week and we couldn't resist the chance to try some Chinese food and to dress up as we performed a dragon dance.

Mr Murray worked us hard in PE as he taught us how to throw overarm . He was very impressed with our throwing skills 

In worship we continue to learn how simple acts of everyday kindness really do help make the world a better place. See if you can catch your child being kind this weekend.

Have a lovely weekend and we will see you next week 

Michelle 

Meet Number 5

We have had great fun meeting 5 this week.

Five arrives to get the band together-and gets the party started-with a big high five!

We learnt:

• that 5 is one more than four

• to count objects to 5

• to subitise 5 objects

• to line up and order 1to 5 in order

We also started to look at more number bonds.

4 and 1 equals 5

3 and 2 equals 5

4 ones equals 5

We are now practising writing the number 5. Here’s the rhyme to help you.

5-Down and round then line up high, high five. Don’t forget to keep practising the numbers 0-4 too!!!

Chinese New Year

This week we have been finding out about Chinese New Year. We learnt that Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday celebrated among Chinese people. It is often referred to as the spring festival because it signals the beginning of spring. It is a time when families and friends get together to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. We then celebrated by eating Fortune Cookies and prawn crackers….mmmmm yummy! We even made red (a lucky colour) Chinese Lanterns.

Then we did a Chinese Dragon Dance…such great fun! Take a look at the photos! We were having so much fun Mrs Gregan had to pop in to see what it was all about!

We had so much fun we asked Reception and yr3 to join us. Year 3 played the music for us and we danced, watch our video below:

Year 4 Weekly blog Friday 31st January "Gratitude and attitude are not challenges, they are choices."

What a super week we have had in Year 4. The class have been enjoying our new collection of books in our class library! Our RE focus this week has been twofold. First we have been pondering on the faith of St. Peter and how he could recognise Jesus as the Messiah- the chosen one. Then children have been learning about their own statement of faith - the Nicene Creed.

In our Happy mind session this week, children learned all about the ‘happy hormone’ dopamine and how feeling happy helps us to concentrate, feel calm and centred.

In English, we have started to look at physical theatre and how body language, position and tone of voice can really capture an audience. We have also read more of our novel, the Butterfly Lion and have responded to it by writing a persuasive letter.

Children have really enjoyed maths this week. We have delved into the 3x table and then used this to understand the 6x table.

In Science, children learned about animal’s teeth and how the teeth of carnivores and herbivores differ.

In geography we are learning what can affect the Water cycle and what we can do about the rise in temperature.

Conversation starters

Science

Why do some animals have no canine teeth? What kind of teeth does your pet have?

My Happy mind

What is dopamine? How can we generate it?
