Geography – year 2 created a practical map of our journey to Everton Park using colours and a key to represent the different landmarks
The Eco council really enjoyed their time at the Nature gardens this afternoon. We worked in groups to make our very own Bug hotels! We then placed these hotels around the garden.
We made protectors for our plants using recycled plastic bottles from home.
A huge congratulations to the Eco council who achieved their ‘Get up and Grow award’. They have really enjoyed the process and learnt so many new skills

International Mother Language Day
We had a lovely afternoon learning to write our names and our birthdays in Chinese as part of our International Mother Language Day celebrations. We enjoyed seeing how all of our names looked!
Mother Language Day 2024
What a wonderful morning we have had listening to parents and children speak about their mother language and cultural traditions! Thank you so much to our parents for sharing.
International Mother Language Day February 2024
International Mother Language Day in Year 2. We are hugely grateful to all our parents for teaching us about their home language.
Mother Language Day
We were so lucky to have parents from Portugal come and teach us all about their culture. They even shared some famous Portuguese tarts with the class. Thankyou for joining our mother language day.
Mother Language Day ’24
The children loved trying some traditional Polish food as well as learning some words in Polish led by the children. They also enjoyed listening to a fairy tale in Turkish. Happy international Mother Tongue Day!
Mother Language Day in Year 6
We welcomed some parents into class to celebrate International Mother Language Day.
Thank you children!
A huge well done to our children for sharing items and speaking about their culture and home language for International Mother Language Day!
Poland and Libya
A few more pictures from International Mother Language Day, including delicious sweet treats from Poland and Libya!
Geography- rivers across the world
Year 3 used the atlas today to search for rivers across the world including the river Nile and the Amazon River. They used the index page and grid references to locate them and found out where they were located in the world.
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!

Campfire at the Rotunda
We were invited to the Rotunda for a campfire and we also learnt lots of other outdoor skills and knowledge to take with us!
The Eco council at the recycling centre
The Eco council were invited to the recycling centre to find out the process of recycling and where our rubbish is taken. We found out what items can and cannot be recycled and what the recycled goods can be made into!
Disconnect to reconnect Day!
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!
Year 2 in Southport!
Today we went to Southport as part of our Geography topic. We were comparing Southport to Everton and observing all of the physical and human features of the seaside!
we had so much fun, we visited the beach and then went to the park! We also had ice cream before having a turn on the carousel and finished with a train ride around the park. It was such a brilliant day!
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 !
