Our Lady's School Blog  

We were playing a football match against Hempshill.  We started the game and both sides were playing really well but the game was mainly in Hempshill’s half. Our Lady’s had a corner and Alex was taking it. He did a short pass to Patrick and Patrick passed back. Then all of a sudden Alex crossed it into the box and Patrick banged it into the back of the net. The crowd went WILD!!! We were playing and a dog decided to intercept the ball. But we were rescued by Miss Braisby and Jacob’s Dad.  The final score was 1-0 to Our Lady’s.

 

Zara (Missionary)-  you have such a kind, gentle and loving nature and people like to be around you. You are always willing to offer encouragement to others.

 

Rose – for always trying your hardest and giving your work your best shot. You are blooming into a very special member of our class.

 

Elijah – you always put so much effort and enthusiasm into everything you want to learn.

 

Zuzannah (master of maths) – you have really shone this week with your counting and ordering numbers. Keep it up.

Class Missionary- Shay

Shay is working hard to make the right choices and is engaging in imaginative play with children.

Freya- Freya worked so hard drawing 5 current buns and marking them off to count down using a number line. Good one less counting.

Daniella W – Daniella worked hard drawing the characters and main parts of the story of the three billy goats gruff in her story map.

Patrick –  Patrick could retell the story of the three billy goats gruff with detail and expression. Well done!

Year 2 enjoyed an active session learning about taekwondo this afternoon. It was all about the moves , the kicks and the punches as we moved across the hall. The children asked John some good questions about his interest, how he started , how long he trains for and how difficult it is to learn. Well done everyone.

Wow! What a fabulous day we had celebrating and sharing our Egyptian learning. We all looked fantastic dressed as Egyptians and loved taking part in a mummification ceremony (even though it was a bit disgusting!) We also painted our canonic jars, made amulets out of bread and created our own Egyptian jewellery. In the afternoon we made our own Egyptian museum and were tour guides for the rest of the school. Well done Year 4!

As spring is in the air, we seized the chance to go outside and draw landscapes of the school environment.

 

During Monday morning Martin the alien, class 5’s mascot was kidnapped from the classroom. PC McDonald visited the class and dropped off the official report. Children will be recreating the report and will begin to look at how to write their own in future lessons.

Luckily Martin has been returned safely to class 5.

We had a fantastic morning learning all about parliament. We took part in an assembly telling us all about what it is and how laws are decided and then took part in a workshop afterwards.

We made our own electoral parties and made promises on how we would change the country. We then voted for which one we thought had the best idea.

  

We also took part in a debate workshop where we argued different viewpoints. We debated whether we should be allowed to take ipads and mobile phones in school. The majority voted no.

 

 

 

We we had fun starting The Great Project with Emma and Claire and learnt a lot about our friendships.
