Well done ! 

Dear Parents

As you are aware some of our pupils have nut allergies and as a result we are asking that parents of children on packed lunch DO NOT include any items containing nuts in their lunches.

I would also ask parents to support us in asking children not to share their lunch content with other children as many foods contain nut traces, which can cause harm to allergy sufferers.  Thank you for your support.

We all really enjoyed Bishop Tom’s visit to our school today. He shared with the children his wonderful news that he is to receive the city’s highest civic honour of freedom of the City of Liverpool.

This is to mark his many years of work serving the parishioners and wider faith communities of our city. He was also recognised for the key role he played in making sure that “Project Jennifer” overcame its many hurdles and ensured the successful redevelopment of the Great Homer Street area.

We are all looking forward to Bishop Tom’s visit to school on Thursday. He will start the day with a school mass for the children and staff and then he will be visiting every class to chat to the children . We will post lots of pictures on our website so that parents and families can share the day.

Bishop Tom has played a part in many family, school and parish celebrations over the years. If you have any photographs with Bishop Tom why not send them in to school so that we can share them with the children too. 

Thank you to the parents who came to the information meeting last week . We are pleased to announce that Pantry Sessions will be on Fridays 9-11 am in St George’s Church, starting this Friday.

Christmas Events 2019

Thank you for all of your support in raising funds for The Nest. Today as a whole school, we managed to raise £413.66!!!

This will make a big difference and I know they will be delighted!

Friday 25th October – Tomorrow is an inset day for all staff within school. Staff will be training all day.

Year 3 have left PGL and are expected to arrive back at Our lady Immaculate at 3pm.

Miss Gallagher has just rang school to say that they have left PGL . The journey will take about 1 hour and so we now expect them home at about 3.30pm

The Nest program reaches out to prevent the children of imprisoned mothers from fighting for survival on the streets. We rescue affected children and improve their living conditions during the imprisonment of their mothers. We rehabilitate and later reintegrate them and their released mothers with their extended families and society at large.

So please support us in raising funds for this worthy charity.

On Thursday 24th October 2019 we will be taking part in a variety of fundraising activities.

EYFS – sing a long

KS1 – Just Dance Extravaganza

LKS2 – Wacky clothes day.

UKS2 – AM – Handball / PM Disco.

All donations will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Mrs Rimmer

 

Miss Gallagher has just messaged school to say that the children slept like angels, there were no problems and everyone was asleep last night by10.30pm. The children are up and dressed and are having their cooked breakfast, Today’s activities are zip wire,climbing,challenge course, survival and finally the disco.

Miss Gallagher is trying to email photographs over but the signal is poor however all the children are happy and well. Today they have taken part in canoeing, have experienced the GIANT swing and been on a sensory trail. After tea  they will be building a campfire and toasting marshmallows before bed. 

More updates as we receive them! 

Year 3 have arrived safely at PGL and are ready to begin their adventures!

That was how the children in Lower key Stage two described our ‘Victorian Day’.

We can’t thank parents and carers enough for your support and enthusiasm in supporting the children by providing costumes , props and lots of knowledge. 

We did lots of activities so please have a look at our photographs on the ‘Lower key stage two -Autumn 2019 page !

Lower key stage 2 are looking forward to our Victorian day experience this Friday. We’ve been finding out all about Queen Victoria and her nine children so this week we will be learning about what happened to Liverpool during the Victorian era and of course having a day experiencing what life was like in Victorian schools .We are looking forward to this but once again stress that we don’t want you to go to any unnecessary expense -old uniforms are an  ideal costume. If you need any help with an outfit, please let one of our team know . Many thanks 

Thursday 3rd October is National Poetry Day. In school, the children will be marking this event by sharing poems , performing poems and writing them.. 

If you would like to join in at home , a great website is www.poetry4kids.com , it’s full of humerous poems , clips , games and even a rhyming dictionary to help your budding young poets ! 

Please read the letter sent home with your child today, or visit our letters home page to see information about Mr Southworth’s Thanksgiving Events following his retirement this Summer.
