We had our annual talent show and my goodness, what talent we have at OLSK! 

We had some Irish dancing to start and then the children from various classes entertained us with songs, dances, gymnastics, martial arts, musical instruments and many other wonderful displays! 

A great afternoon was had by all! 

Check out the photos!

Mr Malinson from Hagley High School brought his 90's Band to share some of the tunes they knew we would rock to! 

It was a great afternoon and brought back many memories of their youth for some of the teachers!

Today we were greeted with what can only be described as a space catastrophe! An alien spaceship had landed in the playground overnight and we put Miss Marshall, Mrs Morris and all the children on the case to investigate! Children interviewed staff who were first on the scene, they wrote poems, drew pictures and wrote newspaper articles, to publish their findings! The whole school had a great day investigating with binoculars and magnifying glasses, hoping to find out where the craft had come from! We look forward to reading all their work at the end of the week! 

We were privileged to have the staff and children from Hagley High School join us for a morning of prayers and singing! Many children who performed, were past pupils of OLSK! We had a wonderful morning, led by Fred; truly inspirational. Our children watched and listened to the band; they played their instruments with such skill and passion; who knows, some of our current musicians, may come back to perform to us, when they go to Hagley High, in the future! 

Today, the whole school joined in with the 'Walk a Mile' around the field, to raise funds for school. Everyone dressed up in the brightest of clothes to have a fun afternoon in the sun. Congratulations to all the children and the staff for a great afternoon. Don't forget to collect all your money over the half term and bring it into school. Thank you for your continued support.

 

Our Y6 Liturgy Leaders were great ambassadors for our school today; representing our school and parish community at the Fr Hudson's Mass at St Chad's Cathedral. They carried the OLSK Banner with pride during the offertory procession and presented a cheque for £214- money raised by all the children collecting their pennies during Lent! The girls were very fortunate to have their photo with Archbishop Bernard Longley outside the Cathedral after Mass. 

 

Well done to Miss Marshall, all the staff and the children for achieving such an amazing award. We are really proud of you!

 

The Primary School Quality Mark scheme enables schools to work together to share good practice and is supported by professional development led by local experts. It encourages teacher autonomy and innovation while at the same time offering a clear framework for development in science subject leadership, teaching and learning. 

Jane Turner, PSQM National Director said: “Gaining a Primary Science Quality Award is a significant achievement for a school.  The profile and quality of science teaching and learning in each of these schools is very high. Children are engaging with great science both in and outside the classroom, developing positive attitudes towards science as well as secure science understanding and skills. Science subject leaders, their colleagues, head teachers, children, parents and governors should be very proud.”

I am proud to say that our school has hen selected to take part in the Tim Peak rocket seeds project; for which we were sent our real space seeds yesterday!

 The children from every year group will have the opportunity to take part in the project over the next 35 days; we will keep you all updated with exciting pictures and findings as our seeds grow.

I look forward to starting our project here at OLSK with our budding space enthusiasts!
