Great phonics today in Reception class. Well done Miss Doherty’s class.
Practicing writing our new phonemes, can you guess the grapheme we are learning about?
Book vote in Year One. Which would you choose?
@oli_nursery have been busy making fruit kebabs, as we know fruit is nutritious and delicious! We noticed the lovely colours and textures and can’t wait to taste the different flavours. @csergeant3 @DeputyOLI #olipdt #olipreading #YouChoose @pippagoodhart @oli_primary
We have been learning about lots of different foods and describing why we like them. #olipreading @csergeant3 @DeputyOLI @oli_primary@oli_primary
After introducing our new text, You Choose, we discussed our family members and some of us drew pictures of them. #olipreading #olipart @csergeant3 @DeputyOLI
@oli_nursery have been learning about colours linked to The Colour Monster. We’ve been trying to sort our colours and feelings into jars so we’re not like a confused Colour Monster. @csergeant3 @DeputyOLI #olippshe #olipreading

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!

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 !
Reading for pleasure and daily book vote

Sequencing instructions!
We have been exploring the features of instructions. We were able to use our knowledge of sequencing and use of time words to place our instructions back in the correct order. We read them together to check they made sense 👌
Exploring our new vehicle text!
From clues in a suitcase, binoculars, pictures of a dark attic and vocabulary bingo, Year 1 have fully immersed themselves into finding out about our new vehicle text ‘Hermelin, the Detective Mouse’.
Spelling, spellings, spellings!
year 1 are super spellers when it comes to separating words into sounds to support them!
World Book Day 2026
Year 2 have enjoyed dressing up as their favourite characters or as people who inspire their young beautiful minds. They have enjoyed circle time discussing their books.
Year 3 World Book Day
We have really enjoyed dressing up as our favourite characters for World Book Day today.
We chose a book to read with a reading partner, ate a biscuit and then swapped stories.
World Book Day in Year 1
We had a lot of fun celebrating World Book Day with our friends dressed as our favourite characters. We completed lots of fun activities throughout the day!
Reading for pleasure!
We enjoy sharing our favourite stories with our friends in Year One, and we love to look at familiar stories and practice our reading skills. A particular favourite is our current vehicle text in English, “Where the wild things are”.
