2 year old Caterpillar Room, Miss Doherty, Mrs Bradley, Mrs Rimmer, Mrs Burns, Miss Gallagher, Mr Fairclough and Mr Cotton. KEEP IT UP!

Miss Whittaker leaves to have her baby today, all the children, staff and Governors wish you well. We will miss your energy and enthusiasm around school (not to mention the odd pirouette!) and look forward to meeting your bundle of joy very soon. Very best of luck!
ELECTION RESULTS ARE IN! Well done to all our children who stood for School Council and School Ambassador this year, such a strong field of candidates meant votes were tight and results were close. Congratulations to all those who were elected, you are a credit to the school!
Many parents have been asking about photographs from the recent visit to Colomendy by Yr 6. We have shared a number of photos on our Gallery page, more photographs will be added in the coming days. Enjoy!
Woke to a beautiful crisp, early autumn morning here in North Wales. Had to almost drag the children out of bed but they’ve been well fed and are ready for another day of activities including caving and the infamous 3G Swing!
We expect to be home approximately 2.30pm.
Mrs Sergeant is heading back from Colomendy after spending a fun evening with the children and staff. All the children have enjoyed a very busy day which ended with the legendary Colomendy disco. Mrs Sergeant said all the children were fine but exhausted and an early night is on the cards.
After a busy, but fun day, children (and teachers) are flagging now. Hot dogs were popular at lunch time and tonight’s Disco is the topic of conversation! Will Mr Cotton have the energy to ‘floss’ the night away? Keep posted to find out!
“Children slept very well, except for a couple of boys who tried to go for breakfast at 4am! Full English to start the day, weather is beautiful; perfect for a day of adventure”.
News from Colomendy; Mr Cotton has just phoned with this morning’s update. All children are fine, they were asleep by 11pm last night and were up and out for breakfast by 7.30am. A full day of activities are planned, we will keep you posted as we receive more news.
Wishing Miss Logan, Miss Stinson, Miss Farrell, Miss Gallagher and Mrs Garrity the very best of luck as they begin their Foundation Degree. The Governors have kindly agreed for our LSAs to access this amazing opportunity to study child development while working full time. Our staff are accessing higher education through Pen Green Research and the University of Hertfordshire in conjunction with North Liverpool Teaching School. All the staff back in OLI would like to wish them well and congratulate them on taking this brave and exciting step back in to education. You are truly inspirational!!
Today we are making a fuss of our Learning Support Assistants in celebration of National Teaching Assistant Day on Sunday. These valuable members of staff work tirelessly to support our children in so many ways, they are more than assistants to teachers they are educators, carers, ‘nurses’, friends, confidants, entertainers and so much more. On behalf of the staff, governors and parents THANK YOU for all you do!

Our term has started and we would like to welcome new children and staff to our school family. Reception and Nursery children have settled well and have enjoyed exploring their new environment. Our newly designed Two year old room was a hive of activity yesterday as the children investigated this exciting space. Across the school a number of new children have joined us, I’m sure you will welcome them to our school and the community.
After two INSET days our new staff were keen to meet their classes and get ‘stuck in’ to teaching. All have received a warm welcome from the school community and are enjoying these first few days of getting to know our wonderful children and families.
Thank you for your patience and co-operation as building works continue on the gym, we hope to be up and running as usual in the near future.
Remember to you can keep up to date by using our school APP and following us on Twitter @OliPrimary .
Today members of our school council have travelled to London to visit the Houses of Parliament. Mrs Sergeant, Mr Cotton, Mr Southworth and our governor Ian Byrne left early this morning with 13 children from across the school. After lunch in Victoria Tower Gardens the group made their way to the Parliament Education Centre. Photographs are on our Gallery page.
After an enormous breakfast all Year 6 children are ready for their first activity. Mr Garth will try and upload photographs later, follow us on Twitter @OliPrimary for the latest information.
The children arrived safely at Kingswood Colomendy, the wet weather hasn’t stopped them enjoying their first evening of activities.
At 4pm today we will be welcoming our new children and their families to our school. All the Foundation Stage staff are looking forward to meeting the newest and youngest members of our school community.
The afternoon is designed for families to meet staff, find out about school and the exciting curriculum we offer! Our school cook has prepared a selection of delicious food to taste and staff from Lisa’s Uniform shop will be on hand too.
We look forward to seeing you later!
