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.

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!

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.

 

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!

ASD Social Interactions / Play Workshop

 

Today year 3 and 4 were introduced to an Emirates Pilot! He shared with the children his dream of becoming a pilot and how he achieved this dream. He also told the children about his early career as a helicopter pilot and what he loves most about his job.


We loved coming into school with our Easter Bonnets today! Thank you to our families for helping us to make them so amazing!

Today  as a school, we took part in ‘The Big Lent walk’. We were joined by families along the route. We made banners to take with us on our journey and all money raised will be sent to CAFOD.

 

Early Years are looking forward to The Easter Bunny arriving and are preparing to make him feel very welcome .

Attached is the feedback from the IQM assessment day. It is so lovely and everyone should be so proud of their achievements and the feedback we received. It is attached for you to all read in full detail BUT I have pulled out a few quotes that will inspire!
Thank you to you all; as the Assessor commented:
 
“OLI has a deep and continued commitment to inclusion.”

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!

Staff were very excited to take part in World Book Day!
Today we marked the beginning of lent with our Ash Wednesday service.
