Hugh Baird – STEAM Expo
Our Year 3 and Year 6 were invited to Hugh Baird college to take part in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Maths) Expo 2024. What a fantastic time they had! 
We are little chefs!
In DT we have been learning about healthy and unhealthy foods. We have explored our favourite fruits and vegetable and are deciding which ones we would use to make a salad. We have been practicing our chipping skills by using the bridge and claw method. We enjoyed eating all the healthy food that we had chopped up!
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!

DT exploring fruit
In our DT lesson we explored a range of different fruits, observing what they look like and how fruits have seeds. We worked in our groups to sort foods into groups, fruit and not fruit following our observations.

DT Year 4
Year 4 explored structures and pavilions and then we challenged ourselves to a tower building competition using only toothpicks, jelly tots, and marshmallows.
Preparing fruits and vegetables!
We practised our cutting and juicing skills with a range of fruits and vegetables this week. Some fantastic knowledge and listening to instructions when having a go safely and supporting each other!
Let’s make Smoothies!
The children explored fruits, tasted fruits and prepared fruits before they finally decided on a smoothie recipe of their choice!
Chopping, juicing and blending with support to get the final product. I think everyone was happy with their smoothie….
Year 4 Aspirations and Careers Week.
Today Year 4 welcomed 2 midwives into school to talk about their careers and how they perform their daily jobs. We were so interested in how they learnt how to be mid wives and how they helped mums and deliver their babies.
Thank you so much Jen & Imogen.
Careers & Aspirations Week
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 !
Year 1 visit to Everton Nature Garden
Year 1 had a fabulous morning exploring Everton Nature Garden! We made nature bracelets, planted seeds, made bird feeders and got to prepare and enjoy some yummy halloumi and vegetable wraps. It was great fun being outdoors despite the rain!
Exploring Mechanisms
Our first DT topic is all about mechanisms, specifically a slider mechanism. We explored what a mechanism is and the vocabulary related to this and then sorted a range of mechanism into two groups, sliders or not!
Year 2- DT
During DT, we have been learning all about a healthy, balanced diet. Today, we tasted a range of different foods, we used our senses to also smell and feel them. We then practiced our cutting skills and used a masher to make a dip! 
Making a mechanism!
Continuing from our lesson that explored mechanisms, specifically a slider mechanism, we had a go at making our own. We reflected on a range of techniques to make the slider but all found the fold and snip technique the most efficient! Fabulous creations from all children 👍
