Year 3 enjoyed a beautiful Christmas Carol Service at Westminster Cathedral! They watched a retelling of the Nativity and sang Christmas Carols. Two of the children took part in the offertory, giving a donation from our school to the Catholic Children's Society. They were an asset to OLOL!
Year 4 visited the Natural History Museum and did a Lego workshop about climate change. The children worked in groups to think creatively and design different ways of living that would help improve our climate. After the workshop, we had a look around the dinosaur gallery which the children really enjoyed!
On Wednesday 4th December Year 6 visited the London Docklands Museum to learn more about Victorian London. The children had a great deal of fun exploring the exhibits and taking part in the interactive activities.

Year 4 had a workshop on food chains and classifications. They did pond dipping and explored the woodlands, identifying different living things that they found.
On Tuesday afternoon, Miss Kilcommons, Mrs Dawson and a number of parents accompanied our school running team to the Barnet Schools’ Cross Country event. Despite the rain, the children ran their races with great determination and resilience!

Our Year 6 class enjoyed their residential trip at Grosvenor Hall in Kent. They have been on a (rainy!) adventure of fencing, fire lighting and have faced some high adrenalin challenges on the ‘Leap of Faith’ and 3D swing! We hope the children will continue to build on their confidence, resilience and sense of independence from this trip.
On 27th September, we hosted a coffee morning to help raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support – The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. It is Macmillan’s biggest fundraising event for people facing cancer – last year alone, they raised over £18 million through the event. The children enjoyed decorating cakes and thank you to everyone who donated.
