Mrs Simpson and her wonderful musical theatre group performed ‘Tui shi pam oja’ an African play, for the school. It was all about a group of giraffes and a group of zebra who realised that it didn’t matter what you look like on the outside, it’s what you are like on that inside that’s important! A message we can all take away with us.

Team chicken 🐓 are hard at work today; building a new home for Kenelm & all his friends! Thank you to Miss Marshall, Mrs Banno and all those who have turned up to support! 💕🐓💕 

Day 2 in the big chicken house: A huge thank you to Miss Marshall, her mom & dad and all who supported the rehoming of our chickens! A great team effort & the best chicken coup in town! 🐓💕🐓

What a fabulous evening we all had celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation with Archbishop Bernard. Thank you to Father Bruce for his guidance and support. The children were very reverent throughout the Service & Archbishop Bernard congratulated all the children, staff, parents & Governors, for preparing the children so well. #filledwiththeholyspirit #Confirmation

Today Year 4 travelled to Netherton Arts Centre to take part in a recorder festival. Many primary schools from across Dudley took part and formed an enormous ensemble! Well done to all of Year 4 for their hard work and dedication to their music this year! 

This afternoon, hot on the heels of the fabulous Hagley Band, our own musicians took to the stage to share their talents with us. There we violins, electric guitars, keyboards, choirs and drums. Our young musicians showed that they are well on their way to being the stars of the future!

Today Mr Malinson brought his inspirational Hagley Band to OLSK and we were all treated to a morning of 70s punk music! We were amazed at the brilliance of all the performers and loved joining in with the songs and learning about the different instruments. It was particularly nice to welcome back Sam and Feargus, former pupils and future rock stars!

 

Just to thank you all (as a Governor) for a wonderful and prayerful service last night.  The children read and behaved exceptionally and a credit to the school.  Thank you to all the staff that came and all the effort of the HSA and school community for preparing for the event- I know these things take a lot of planning!

 

Can I ask you to thank the staff (SLT, teaching, admin and support) for the effort, commitment and continued faith they bring to our school community.  The school wouldn't be what it is without the care and dedication they all bring.

 

I hope you all have a well deserved and rested summer break.

 

Kind Regards

year 6 have finally reached the special day, on which they receive the holy sacrament of confirmation. We have a very special mass in church, for which this year the Arch Bishop will be leading the mass. What better way to prepare for this special night, than with a holy retreat during the day, singing songs, playing games and reflecting on their own purpose and spiritual calling-all led by Dan Callow.

Y6 Confirmation Project; All crosses are proudly displayed in the Y6 stairwell. Fr Bruce will bless all the crosses after Thanksgiving Mass next week! Well done to all the children, Mrs Nixon & Matt Johnson, for all their hard work! 🎨💕🙏

Today we had a very special visitor in school; our very own mascot Little Vinnie Holiday, who is one of our Mini Vinnies! 💕 It is wonderful to see Vinnie looking so healthy at the moment; he will need further heart surgery in the near future, so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers! 🙏😊🙏 He had a great time sharing books & toys with our Mini Vinnies, who presented him with a card and some gifts! Vinnie is almost three years old and his mom Clare, informs us that he is a very happy little chap, who will be starting nursery very soon! 💕
