Year of the Snake in F2, by Mrs Harris
Date: 29th Jan 2025 @ 8:19pm
The children within Mrs McLaren's class have had such a fun afternoon learning all about Chinese New Year. We were able to write our ages using Chinese writing, we built dragons and lanterns using Lego. We also enjoyed making Chinese lanterns using our cutting skills. It is the year of the snake 🐍 and so we all worked to make snake puppets. We had a great afternoon ☺️ 👏👏

Enterprise Day 2024 - how we spent our hard earned profit 📈, by Mrs Harris
Date: 10th Feb 2024 @ 6:58pm
Year 3 raised a total of £43.75 during our enterprise afternoon! The children decided to buy books and stationery. Each class now has a set of 8 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' books and a stacking pencil each.
From planning to making, advertising to selling, the children had a great time building their enterprise skills, which I'm sure will help them in the future.
Thank you to all the children in OLSE for supporting Year 3!

Enterprise Day Marketing Videos and Posters, by Mrs Harris
Date: 1st Feb 2024 @ 9:46pm
The children had a wonderful time during the preparation for Enterprise Day 2024!
Their entrepreneurial skills were certainly put to the test and they all did so well.
Modern life means our young people need to be resilient, innovative and not afraid to experiment - all important for entrepreneurs.
We are using Enterprise Day to develop a range of skills in our pupils. These skills include:- team work, financial literacy, organising and planning, using initiative, negotiation, taking risks, creativity and innovation.
A key part of enterprise is the making of goods, followed by the marketing and selling of these goods.
Take a look at our presentation / marketing videos and see what you like the look of 😊

F2M - Our World and the Creation Story, by Mrs Harris
Date: 25th Sep 2023 @ 8:28pm
This week Mrs McLaren’s F2 class have been thinking about Our World and the Creation story. We created a prayer focus together, lighting our candle and singing our song 'I can pray'.
We also learnt our new song, 'My God is so Big'.
We really enjoyed going on a nature walk around our playground. Whilst we did this we thought about things that God created for us.
We then brought back a leaf and spoke about each leaf being unique, just like us.
The children have also been working hard on their drawing skills. They made rainbows out of different coloured resources, and faces using loose parts play. We have had lots of fun and we are working hard each day.
Keep up the good work F2 ? ? ?
