This week has been such an amazing week, finding out all about the various different jobs that people have. We have all been inspired by our guest speakers and they have helped us to think about what jobs we might want to do in the future!
Today Year 4 looked at how to complete the recovery position to help save other people’s lives. We had a turn with our friends. We remembered to check if the person could respond and then ask someone else to call an ambulance whilst we attempt the recovery position.
We welcomed parents and friends from all over the school to talk to us about a variety of careers. We listened very carefully to Mr Lawler who is a Personal Advisor. We enjoyed learning about how we can support our communities and train to also be a PA. Thank you Kenny !

Today we decided to switch off all our electrical devices in school and spend the day reconnecting with each other, without the need for electricity! This was a day to think about saving energy and helping our planet.
we started the day by classes becoming reading buddies across school and supporting each other with reading.
Break time involved classes playing together from different Key Stages!
Lunch time involved classes having grab bags outside as no electrical equipment could be used in the kitchen. We had grab bags and ate outside with our friends.
During the afternoon we all joined together and made a whole school chain to show us all reconnecting to each other!
The Eco council were asked to design posters to encourage others to look after where we live. Two winners were chosen and invited to Liverpool Town Hall. Here they were given the opportunity to meet the new Lord Mayor, Councillor Barbara Murray and cabinet member for neighbours Laura Robertson-Collins. The children also received a certificate and received an interactive tour of the town centre.

We were invited to the Rotunda for a campfire and we also learnt lots of other outdoor skills and knowledge to take with us!

What an amazing effort from everyone for our Easter Bonnet Parade this year! There were so many amazingly creative bonnets, featuring lots of chicks, bunnies and eggs! The children proudly paraded around the school, showing off their creations to all of the staff and their friends in KS1.

Mother Language Day
It was wonderful to listen to, learn about and share the experiences of the many others cultures children within our class experience with their family. We were able to learn about differences within traditional dress, language and the types of food that are made and eaten. We all enjoyed trying the variety of foods a very kind parent had cooked for us, it was delicious!
We continue to be an Inclusion Quality Mark Centre of Excellence !🎉🍾🎆
“A parent said, ‘they don’t know how good they are because it’s so natural.’”
“There is a lively atmosphere in the school canteen where excellent food is prepared by friendly staff. ”
“Children attending OLI certainly get a good deal.”
“The IQM targets set and achieved at OLI serve to complement and enhance the inclusive ethos of the school.”
“They work well together and ‘enjoy a laugh.’ This is something that I personally value greatly. A happy staff means happy pupils.”
“I was particularly struck by how older children engage with each other in lessons. As 1 pupil speaks, the class would turn to show interest and display active listening.”
“It was an absolute pleasure to spend a day with staff and children, and I feel inspired and enthused to trial ideas in my own school.”
“Comments from stakeholders’ centre around the school being ‘warm,’ ‘amazing,’ and ‘like home.’ I would fully agree with these quotes. All staff, including cooks, the site manager, learning support, and Governors, clearly articulate the same ethos and enjoy being there. External support staff expressed how this is ‘comfortably the best school they work in.”
“Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School is an exceptionally inclusive school.”
“It was lovely to see the early years children practising self-regulation through peer massage as part of the MISP programme. (Massage in Schools Programme). Clearly, this is embedded as a regular feature, and very young children were showing care and empathy towards their peers.”
“Observation of ZOR in Early Years area showed staff well-deployed to support children unable to fully mix with mainstream, but still receiving entitlement.”
“There is a lot of evidence that staff at OLI are very well trained,”
“Diversity in the curriculum is apparent”
Thank you everyone!
