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 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
We were invited to the Rotunda for a campfire and we also learnt lots of other outdoor skills and knowledge to take with us!
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.
Year 4 have been exploring making phones using only tin cans and string, we learnt that sound waves travel through the vibrations in the string.
Year 4 explored structures and pavilions and then we challenged ourselves to a tower building competition using only toothpicks, jelly tots, and marshmallows.
Early Years are looking forward to The Easter Bunny arriving and are preparing to make him feel very welcome .
“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!
