Staff Development Day
Year R- Sports Day:
It may be the last day of term for us here at St Mary’s, but you would never have known it with the amount of energy and enthusiasm the children raced with this afternoon. The children embraced the afternoon of sports and did their best in every race. We are so proud of them all. Thank you to everyone that came along to support the children and bravely took part in the adult races. It certainly brought a smile to the children’s faces.
It really has been a wonderful week of sporting celebrations and we would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved. A special mention to our year 6 helpers who also got to compete in the final race. ... See MoreSee Less
Yesterday, it was the turn of year 1 & 2 to enjoy their sports day in the glorious sunshine. The children took part in traditional races with great enthusiasm and showed great sportsmanship cheering on their friends as they raced down the track. We were overwhelmed by the amount of volunteers for the parents race. The children do love to watch the adults racing down the track, thank you for taking on the challenge and making it such a fun sports day. ... See MoreSee Less
Artsmark Silver Award:
Last week, St Mary's were awarded the Artsmark silver award. The Artsmark Award is the only creative quality standard for schools, accredited by Arts Council England. It supports schools to develop and celebrate arts and cultural education, putting creativity and wellbeing at the heart of the curriculum. Artsmark ensures every young person can be creative and access a diverse, high-quality cultural education.
In order to achieve our Artsmark Award, we had to develop our arts and culture provision to embed our brand new, broad and ambitious curriculum. This was achieved by creating an overall plan that was committed to and delivered across the whole school. ... See MoreSee Less
On Wednesday, it was the nursery’s turn for sports day. It was perfect weather for a sports day; the sun was shining and it wasn’t too hot. All of the children did their very best, from running races to dressing up races, they all embraced the challenge with smiling faces. It's not always easy to perform in front of an audience, but we are incredibly proud of all the children for their determination and perseverance. The parent races, as usual, turned out to be a lot of fun and quite competitive. It's always a delight to see the parents enthusiastically participating and enjoying themselves. We would like to extend our gratitude and congratulations to everyone who took part in the event. We hope that the participants don't wake up with too many aching muscles in the morning! ...

Year 1 - Healthy Eating:
This week, the children have been learning how to keep their bodies healthy. They began by thinking about what foods were healthy then created their very own salad which they had to prepare themselves. They learnt how to chop, slice, tear and grate different fruits and vegetables and thought about which tools they could use to help them do so. They then enjoyed the lovely salads that they had made. ... See MoreSee Less
