I took lots of photos last week whilst the children were in school and I do not want you to miss one moment of your child’s final week at Our Ladys. Please find photographs of your children using the new trim trail and a few videos from the talent show.

We come together today to say goodbye.

And here we are. This year has certainly been a roller coaster on emotions and events, which when we look back at them can only make us stronger. This week we have reflected on the past 17 weeks which each child telling me what they have learnt about themselves. I cannot tell you how humbling this experience was. The children have all learnt just how independent and resilient that they can actually be…they can definitely be the change they want to see in the world.
Read more'You are precious in my eyes'
Today has been beautiful, nothing short of beautiful. The children have spent a day in prayer and reflection, considering what our interpretation of ‘You are precious in my eyes really is.’
Read more'The best thing about memories is about making them.'
There has been a lot of hilarity in class today as the theme has been memory. The children have enjoyed reflecting on their school family, their memories from each year group and their favourite curriculum areas. It has been lovely hearing the children’s funniest memories and laughing at them whist telling their own version of events.
Read more'We must find the time to say thank you to those who make a difference to our lives.'
Today has been all about saying thank you. You should have all received a little something from the children tonight as a way of thanks for everything you have done for them. We have been saying thank you to our school community, to our parents and to our friends.
Read more'Look back so that the view looking forward is even clearer.'
I have absolutely loved seeing the children today and they have seamlessly fit back into school life. It may be a little different and the classroom was set out but the people are still the same and it was great to have so many children back in!

I hope the children are excited about tomorrow and coming back to school. Each day I have created a different focus for the children which will then lead their learning for the day. By the end of the week they will have created a lovely keepsake.

It feels like Christmas Eve - it is the same excitement. I am really happy that we will get our Year 6 family back together next week to celebrate and reflect on their primary school life. We know that this is not how we intended the year to be and that the children have missed out on some of the things that they were looking forward to. I am really hoping that we can make their final week in school full of smiles and laughter.

With just one more week until Year 6 return to school, today sees their final formal lessons. For the past 14 weeks, the children have worked incredibly hard despite all of the disappointment that they have faced. Week in and week out, they have continued to produce the work that I have come to expect from them as a pupil in Year 6.

I know that we are currently in a funny time of the year where we are a little bit in limbo. We are now heading into week 13 of home learning which for anyone is challenging. I can only commend the children and you on your hard work and dedication.

So a really big thank you from me. You need to sit back, smile and celebrate all of your efforts last week. Watch the video with pride and the winners are announced right at the very end! You may want to get a drink, the film is 15 minutes full of a selection of photographs.

I was so unbelievably happy to hear that we can now open the school to more pupils. A school’s heartbeat is definitely the laughter of the children and the smiles that we see everyday. The past 12 weeks was not how I intended the children to finish their primary school journey but I am so grateful that we get to spend the last week together. It will be a little different and we will be in two learning bubbles, but I am busy being creative and trying to plan ways that we can celebrate the last week together - but afar! The children have been putting their own ideas on the class blog. I am really excited!
