Military Monday
Military Monday is a club for all the children who have a family member in the armed forces. The children meet regularly on a Monday after school and we aim to hold a family event each half term. We take part in an activity together, have time for to talk, make new friends and have fun!
Mrs Elvish runs Military Monday. Don't forget to keep an eye out for details of our next event in your inbox. Also please email servicesfamilies@olmc.thedcet.com if the serving member of your family goes away so we can provide your child with support.

Thank You to Our Military Families for a Fantastic Day at Gore Farm!
A huge thank you to all the military families who joined us at Gore Farm on Monday 17th June for what turned out to be a truly memorable day.
The sun shone as children and parents explored the farm, met an array of friendly animals, and got stuck into a range of hands-on activities. From cuddling fluffy chicks and bottle-feeding lambs, to scratching the ears of the farm’s very contented pigs, there was plenty to see, do, and enjoy.
After a picnic lunch, we headed into the woods where the children made nature crowns, hunted for minibeasts, and enjoyed the freedom of playing together in the fresh air. It was a perfect opportunity for families to relax, connect, and make lasting memories.
We are so grateful to everyone who came along and helped make the day so special—and to Stuart and Tessa Casely at Gore Farm for their wonderful hospitality.
We’re already looking forward to our next adventure together!

A big thank you to all the families who came to the Christmas Crafts and Cake.
At Our Lady's we feel very lucky to have over 20 military families who regularly take part in Military Monday. We look forward to welcoming you back in the New Year, and would welcome ideas from families for events or activities that you would like to do.
We are always mindful that parents are sometimes unexpectedly deployed, or have a planned deployment. We are happy to put extra support in place for those children concerned, and would be grateful if you could let us know once going away dates are known.
We wish all our military families a happy and peaceful Christmas.
