OLSK was the site for the first ever Girls’ Football League today. Howley Grange, Caslon, Manor Way, Huntingtree and Colley Lane joined us for an afternoon of football and fun. 

 

Howley Grange came first but every single girl who took part was a winner! 

 

Congratulations to to all of our girls who came 2nd. You were an absolute credit to our school!

 

Thanks also to Mr Brettle for marking out the pitches, Mr Nash and Miss Meese for refereeing, Miss Mallin for taking photos and Mr Brown for organising the event. 

Some of the children from Y5 were invited to a Creative Writing Workshop at the Priory Catholic School today! They spent the whole morning with the children & staff from the Priory, including  an author, who inspired them to keep writing stories; giving them strategies to improve their writing. 

 

The children absolutely loved their whole time at the school and came away totally inspired. Thank you to the staff for the invite; and to the Y10 children, for leading the session! ✍️📚✍️

 Today, we were visited by special guest - Kerys Harrop, who came to talk to the children about aspiring to make their dreams come true! She talked to them about her childhood ambition to become a professional footballer and discussed her proudest achievements.

Y6 split into two groups for the second part of their Creative Curriculum Day.

 

Half went into the Phiz Lab decorate their crosses with Mrs Nixon and Matt Johnson and the remaining half became rollercoaster engineers with Mrs Turner and Mrs Morris!

 

Each child in Y6 has designed and decorated their own cross and these will be put up on permanent display in the Y6 stairwell as their parting gift to our school.

 

The results of the day were phenomenal and showed that hard work, perservence, patience and team-work really do pay off. What an amazing day learning new skills together.  Well done everyone!

A very warm welcome to all our new children who will be joining us in September! It was wonderful to meet you all today; you’re going to love being part of our OlSK family! 🙏😊🙏

Well done to all of the children in Y3 who received the Blessed Sacrament for the first time on Saturday.  It was a wonderful day, in spite of the downpours! At the Thanksgiving Mass in school, the children celebrated with everyone and received the Blessed Sacrament in front of the school family. We wish each and every one of them a lifetime of love and happiness with Christ at the Centre of everything they do.

Prince Kenelm and Star have now been joined by 4 new chickens who are making themselves at home in their new enclosure.  Welcome to Sharon, Bella, Ginger and Spice! We hope that they will be very happy and give us lots of eggs!
