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.

A recipe for success!
admin on: Our Lady of Muswell School Blog
At our first assembly of the year, children from year 1 to year 6 created a recipe for success. We thought about what we needed to have in our school cake to ensure success and happiness throughout the year. 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!

- Be ambitious – work hard and never give up on their goals.
- Be inspiring – set a great example to others.
- Be connected –work well with others and in a team.
- Be fair – treat people equally and think of others.
Each class in KS2 enjoyed 2 lessons, "Roving Reporters" and "Sky Ocean Rescue" throughout the day. To finish off, the coaches met everyone for a final assembly and presented awards to some star pupils!

Spirituality Week
admin on: Our Lady of Muswell School Blog
|
At OLM, we believe our role is to educate the “whole” child and that the spiritual growth of our children is as important as their academic development. Work has been undertaken in class to raise awareness of spiritual issues and to encourage the children to think for themselves and consider important questions. This work has been supplemented by our Year One Liturgy and Mr O’Shannessy’s assembly. Spirituality week has been anticipated and enjoyed by staff and children alike. Its success can be attributed to careful planning and resourcing by Miss Haugh and we would like to thank her for her hard work and commitment. |
Educational Visits
admin on: Our Lady of Muswell School Blog
We are keen to take our children on educational visits .Our Year 3 children have recently been to St Albans and our Year 2 children visited St Paul’s Cathedral and The Monument. Both visits are examples of informal learning environments - a lifelong process in which individuals acquire attitudes, values, skills and knowledge from daily experience.
It has been a busy few days!!
admin on: Our Lady of Muswell School Blog
It has been a busy few days! Year 1 had a visit from a vet, which the children found extremely informative and enjoyable. Next week, Year 4 will be working with the Wild Science Company to develop their knowledge of food chains during a hands on fun packed morning. We welcomed Headteachers from local schools to see the excellent RE programme and to share our good practice.
Happy New Year
admin on: Our Lady of Muswell School Blog
The Spring term started yesterday with a mass which was attended by members of our parish community and was a lovely way for the school to begin the year. Members of the parish commented how wonderful our children were during mass.
Staff have had two training sessions this week relating to organising and updating book areas within classrooms. I would like to thank the Friends of OLM for their hard work in raising funds to contribute to this project. Staff and pupils are very excited about this initiative as we know it will lead to more enthusiastic readers at OLM and greater use of our resources.
Happy New Year!
End of term
admin on: Our Lady of Muswell School Blog
We have had a wonderful Autumn Term and there has been lots of great learning at school. The Christmas plays were fantastic and really highlighted the talent and confidence our children have. The Year 5 and 6 concert was a beautiful event and a special evening for our school community.
Wishing you a very happy Christmas from all at OLM!
