Book Sale
On Monday 29th June, we will be holding a used book sale at Upper site at home time. Pupils can buy 10 used books for £1. Hopefully some well-loved books can continue to be enjoyed by new owners!
Eco Week
This week we celebrated our annual Eco week here at OLSG. All classes enjoyed 3 'no paper or pen' days in school, helping us reflect on our impact on the environment. Instead of writing in books, we took our learning outside to participate in a variety of outdoor activities in our green spaces around the school grounds. We tended the edible gardens, grew and harvested produce, and even found natural materials to explore. The week reminded us that we are so lucky to have our outdoor spaces and that we must take care of them, as stewards of God's beautiful creation.
Year 4 Trip
On 18th June, Year 4 had a fantastic trip to the Natural History Museum. The children took part in an ocean and habitat workshop and thought about what more we could do to help the environment and our oceans. Everyone had a wonderful day and learnt so much. Thank you to our staff and parents helper.
Year 3 Trip
On Wednesday 17th June, Year 3 visited the Paddington Experience and were absolutely blown away by all of the hands-on activities and amazing exhibits. The class took the train all the way, just like Paddington Bear on his long journey from Peru to London! Many thanks to the staff and parent helpers who made this amazing trip possible.
Reflection
As we move into the final weeks of the Summer Term, we give thanks for all that has already been shared and achieved together this year, while looking forward with excitement to the many special events still to come. Sports Days, performances, celebrations, trips and opportunities to learn beyond the classroom all remind us of the joy of being part of our school community. These moments help our children to grow in confidence, friendship and faith, and we look forward to making many more happy memories before the term draws to a close.
The final weeks of the school year will bring a mixture of celebration and reflection as we prepare to say goodbye to one chapter and look ahead to the next. In time, the summer holidays will offer a welcome opportunity for rest, renewal and precious moments with family and friends. As we continue this journey together, we trust in God's guidance, giving thanks for all that has been and looking forward with hope to the new beginnings that lie ahead.
