Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School

Hi Everyone Because we have been missing you so much, all the teachers would like to send you a little message to say, "Hello." To see our video, go to the school website and find it on our homepage or click on the link below. https://ourladyoflourdesschool.org.uk/kgfl/primary/olol A special thanks to Mrs Garrard who has done a wonderful job of putting it altogether. We would also like to remind you that homework packs can still be collect from the school entrance up until 3.15 today. Please continue to stay safe and we will hopefully see you very soon. Take care Miss Clarke

Homework packs for all children will be ready to be collected from school between 1.30pm and 3.15pm today. If you are unable to collect your pack today these will also be available to be collected on Thursday between 9am and 3.15pm. The collection point is under the canopy, outside the main entrance of school. If another parent is collecting their child's homework pack at the same time please be mindful of the 2 metre social distancing rule. There will be no access to the school office at this time but if you have any questions, you can ring the school on 01484 310700 or email us at office.ourladyoflourdesschool.org.uk. We would like to ask that all families collect the pack and return the completed work by Monday 18th May. The work will then be marked and we will give you feedback during our courtesy calls next week.

Good Morning, Please find attached this week's Wednesday Word.

Good Afternoon Everyone. I hope you are all well. Following the phone calls home, we are aware that some of you are having difficulty accessing the homework on our website. We want to introduce a new way to make homeschooling easier for you. Our teachers are now busy preparing packs which can be collected from school on Wednesday 13th May from 1.30pm. These packs will contain enough work for the rest of the school week. It will also be the same as the work published on the website each day. You can collect your pack from the canopy area at the front entrance. You child's name will be on their work and there is a separate box for each year group. We are asking that when you complete the work, you return it to school by Monday 18th May. There is a number of ways in which this can be done: 1. Taking a photograph of the work, with a phone or tablet, and emailing it to homework@ourladyoflourdesschool.org.uk 2. Typing the work and emailing it to the same email address. 3. Posting the work to school. Our address is Bradley Boulevard, Huddersfield, HD2 1EA 4. Returning it to the school by hand. The work will then be marked and we will give you feedback during our courtesy calls next week. We are still taking every precaution to ensure we limit the spread of the virus, so we ask you to be mindful of the social distancing rules when you come to school. We ask that only one person per household come to collect the packs and will limit the number of people coming into the canopy area. We also ask that you keep 2metres apart when queuing. There will be no access to the school office at this but if you have any questions, you can ring the school on 01484 310700 or email us at office.ourladyoflourdesschool.org.uk. You can also email the homework email address, homework@ourladyoflourdesschool.org.uk and one of the teachers can help with your query. The last pick up time will be 3.30pm on Wednesday 13th May. Please ensure all homework is returned to school by Monday 18th May. From Monday 18th May, the teachers will be making another call to see how you are doing. You may find, when they ring, that your phone displays "no caller ID," as we use a range of phone lines within school. These are important calls, as we may be in a position to discuss how returning to school may be for your child in the coming weeks and months. We will also be able to assist with any difficulties you are having with the school work. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing the children's work. Take care Miss Clarke

To all the children and staff at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School. A big hello from CHFT! We wanted to say thank you to you for everything that you are doing to support us at your local hospital. This includes the lovely pictures that you have been sending to us. We are keeping every single picture to create a collage heart. If you or your school would like to send us more pictures, you can see them posted on twitter by following @CHFTNHS. Please keep sending them to the address below. We have heard that many of you school children are at home and we wanted to make sure that you are still learning- if you keep up with your learning, maybe one day you will be a Nurse or Doctor or another member of our team here at CHFT. To all Teachers - thank you for looking after our children whilst we continue to work hard to provide compassionate care for our patients. At CHFT we believe in 'one culture of care' where we look after our patients, their families and each other with the same level of outstanding care.
