Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all doing well & gearing up for your Christmas productions! I hear that the songs are coming along nicely & your singing is as beautiful as always! 

I had my 2nd lot of chemo on Friday so am feeling pretty tired & achy at the moment but still smiling! 😊

Because of the special medicine my hair started to fall out so Mr Turner helped me to shave off what was left! It feels a bit odd having no hair but I’ve got a super wig & lots of scarves to keep my head warm! Mr Turner said I look like a baby monkey, but a beautiful one! 😆

Enjoy the build up to Christmas & all the fun that comes along with it! Thank you all for the beautiful cards, well wishes & prayers! I’ve loved seeing the videos of you all from Mr Brown but it’s made me miss you all even more!

You are in my prayers every day & I can’t wait to see you all soon!

God bless

Love Mrs Turner! Xxxx

Say 'Hello' to the newest member of our OLSK family! He was born yesterday! We have called him 'Kenelm!'

Congratulations to our Head Boy , Head Girl & their Deputies, who were appointed today, to support the Governing Board & the Leadership Team, in moving our school forward by carrying out our Mission Statement ' Bringing out the best in everyone, for the benefit of all, in the Spirit of Christ.'

 

In a whole school assembly, the children shared their reasons why they should be chosen and what they hope to achieve to support the Governors and all the staff in making our school an amazing place to learn! 

 

Later this term, they will present themselves to the whole Governing Board, sharing their thoughts about how to make our school a wonderful place to be! 

 

Congratulations to all the children who took the time to apply; you truly are all amazing and we know that you will all be great ambassadors for our school by being great Prefects! 

Today we arrived at Ingestre Hall just in time for our yummy lunch- sausage, beans and mash!. Now it's time to play, before we start our learning in music, dance drama & art. How exciting! 

 

Happy Birthday celebrations!! 

 

Day 2- music, dance drama & art workshops! 

 

Party Time! Mrs Bradley is our Disco Diva on the decks! 

Today we had a whole school assembly to celebrate the Harvest. YR, Y1 & Y2 sang beautiful Harvest Hymns, offering thanks to God for all the food. Y3 performed a Harvest Poem reflecting on the work of the farmers. Y4 read Harvest Poems and sang a Harvest Samba! Y5 read a Canticle of Creation that they had written and Y6 performed a drama about Stone Soup. All of the children performed really well and it was wonderful to see so many parents, carers and grandparents who joined us for this special occasion. Thank you to all the children & staff for all of their efforts putting the Assembly together.

A big hello to my wonderful OLSK family!

 

I have just been reading the beautiful cards & messages that have been sent into school for me & they made me smile a lot! 😊

 

My operation went well & I am recovering & resting at home. I haven't got a bell to ring but I am being supplied with endless cups of tea & treats! Mr Turner is thoroughly spoiling me & making sure I take things easy (even though he does say, "What else is new?!") 😆

 

I have to start chemotherapy on the 20th October, which I know will be very stressful but knowing that you are all praying for me, keeps me going!

 

God bless you all! Xxxxx

 

SCHOOLCHILDREN across Halesowenand Rowley Regis are being urged to take part in a competition to design their local MP’s Christmas card.

James Morris MP has this week launched his annual Christmas card competition during a visit to Our Lady & St Kenelm RC Primary School.

Since being elected in 2010, the MP has organised a competition each year, with the winner having their drawing on the front of his official Christmas card, which is sent to senior politicians, including the Prime Minister, local charities, community groups and businesses.

Well done to all our Mini Vinnies who represented us in Church this morning! Izzy, Sophie & Dominika spoke to all the parishioners about our Christmas Winter Appeal; for the homeless people in Halesowen! 

 

This winter we are hoping to raise enough funds to support the homeless, by purchasing winter weather packs! 

 

Thank you to Fr Bruce for allowing us to speak with the parishioners & a huge thank you to them, for their generosity! 

Thank you to all our parents, grandparents and carers, who baked all the delicious cakes for our Macmillan fundraiser today! They truly were wonderful! Thank you to our super mums in the HSA who organised the whole afternoon & to the girls in Y5 for helping set up the room! 

 

We raised a whopping £230 to support this worthy cause! Well done everyone!
