Dear all,
I hope you’re all well rested after the Easter break.
I’m really pleased to share the most recent list and Newsletter of upcoming community events taking place through Beautiful New Beginnings CIC, which I’ve attached for you to pass on to your families. These include a variety of forest schools, family mindfulness sessions, SEND parents’ coffee evenings, stay and plays, water wellbeing and lots more!
Best of all, your families can access these meaningful experiences and support without the worry of high expenses. One of the most rewarding aspects of working alongside a Community Interest Company is our shared commitment to making opportunities accessible for all. We work incredibly hard to secure funding so that these events are either completely free or heavily subsidised.
We are passionate about providing families with valuable, enjoyable experiences and support, without having to be placed on a long waiting list first, in friendly and welcoming environments. We can’t wait to welcome your families.
Please do feel free to share this information on your parent/carer forums, and do let me know if you’d like any additional details.
Year 2 are really enjoying their new History topic learning all about civil rights activist Rosa Parks. Today the children have created a timeline of her life and we have used dines to show how many years have past. The children have all had some really interesting questions and thoughts about what they have been learning, even bringing in their own books like small biography’s by Little People Big Dreams books 😊⭐️
The nursery will be learning about Remembrance Sunday and making poppies to show their respect and support.
Today Year 2 created their own beautiful poppies to mark Remembrance Day. the children learned about why we wear poppies and how it helps us to remember the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country. Their poppies are a symbol of peace, remembrance and hope for the future. 
Today Year 2 learnt all about why we celebrate Bonfire night and also all about Bonfire safety. We then used chalk and black card to make beautiful firework pictures.
Year 3 used a large timeline to explore key events from the time period of Doctor Duncan. They explored key vocabulary of century and decade and discussed where events took place and where to place them on the scaled timeline.
Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed exploring different Stone Age artefacts in an orienteering activity!
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 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.
To complete our learning about the local significant person ‘Kitty Wilkinson’, we walked to Everton Park to visit her memorial bench. We shared and discussed the reasons she is significant and explored other ways people may remember her too!
ASD Social Interactions / Play Workshop
Thank you to all of our parents who helped us to create models of the Titanic and the cabins onboard the ship!
We loved displaying them in our school museum!
To start our new topic in history, year 3 explored the earliest ancient civilisations. They used a timeline to place on the different civilisations and noticed that many of these spanned across thousands of years.
“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!
