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.

The children's wonderful imaginations shone through and they came up with a real recipe for success!
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!

Parliament Visit
admin on: Our Lady of Muswell School Blog
Yesterday, our school council visited the Palace of Westminster to learn about the history of Parliament as well as the art and architecture of the buildings for which they have come to be so recognised. This was a great experience for the children who explored the House of Commons, House of Lords, Westminster Hall (the last remaining part of the original Palace) and the Central Lobby at the very heart of the Parliamentary Estate.
Our governors were also busy and spent the day in school. All governors commented on how their visit had helped them in the work they do to help all of us move towards our vision of being an outstanding and inclusive school. The governors enjoyed experiencing the wonderful work going on in our classrooms and felt privileged to be part of such a warm and special school.

Science Week
admin on: Our Lady of Muswell School Blog
The children have had a really exciting week developing their science knowledge and skills. Years 2 and 4 focused on Insect investigations, classification and using microscopes. Years 3 and 6 developed their forensic skills through their topic “Forensic Investigation Crime Scene”.
Reception and Y1 set up a laboratory in their classrooms and participated in lots of experiments. There were also lots of science related activities in music lessons, for example Y1 made shakers and found out that different sounds could be made using different sized grains. On behalf of all the children and staff we would like to congratulate Miss Matthews for all her hard word and enthusiasm
