Our Blog showcases just a few of the highlights at OLM including our staff video messages and songs when the children were at home engaged in remote learning. We missed the children so much but were delighted with the responses to our parent survey about the quality of education received by the children when learning from home in Lockdown.

Ben Wilson - Chewing Gum Man!
admin on: Our Lady of Muswell School Blog
Year 4's Art topic this half term is called "Which local artist lives near here?" and OLM are lucky enough to have one living just up the road- Ben Wilson Chewing Gum Man. Ben visited Year 4 this week and showed us all his work. He is pro-environment and helps make streets look colourful by painting patterns and pictures over old, flattened chewing gum on the pavements which are meaningful to the members of public in Muswell Hill. Year 4 walked around Muswell Hill looking at all his work and he even painted one for OLM situated near Planet Organic. Back at school, the children got to create their own chewing gum designs! What a fun day!

admin on: Our Lady of Muswell School Blog
Year 6 children took part in a special writing workshop led by author, Karen McCombie. The children have been reading Karen's book 'Catching Falling Stars' in class to support their learning and understanding of the evacuee experience during WWII. As well as writing some very imaginative stories during the workshop the children also had the opportunity to ask Karen some very interesting questions.
After her visit Karen tweeted about her experience at OLM!
