Last Thursday, 5 children from Year 2 took part in an athletics event. They were amazing and participated in each activity with so much enthusiasm. Well done all of you.
Last week our year 6 children took part in a glow in the dark dodgeball event. It was so much fun; they loved every minute and represented St Mary's beautifully.
Class 4 have been showcasing their learning on the classic, narrative poem ‘The Highwayman’ and they were absolutely brilliant! First, the children created an immersive theatre to welcome their families into our ‘18th century inn’. They then performed the poem with confidence and movement and watched a video of themselves acting out the story dressed in historical clothing. Finally, they refreshed themselves with some traditional food and drink whilst sharing their writing with their adults who came to watch. Thank you to all who joined us today!
Today, we again welcomed Emma from the Life Education team. Year 5 and 6 took part in workshops with her about how our bodies and emotions can change through puberty. The children were absolutely brilliant and asked such excellent questions. Emma was very impressed by their maturity and enthusiasm. Well done to you all!
Class 4 have been working so hard in DT to make pop-up books for their buddies in Reception and Year 1. They thought really hard about what to write their book about to match their buddies interests and used different sliders and pop-ups to make the book interactive. Today, they read the book together and the class 4 children have decided to let their buddies keep the books to take home. Well done class 4!
Our Caritas team led a brilliant assembly this morning about the ‘Every step counts’ challenge to raise money to tackle child poverty in our local area. To raise money for this important mission, the children have arranged a sponsored ‘Glow in the Dark Dodgeball’ event to take place on Friday 13th February. A parent app will go out today with all of the details and the children are bringing home a sponsor form. We would greatly appreciate any support and sponsorship.
Children in Year 2 and Class 3 took part in a live gymnastics lesson today with Olympian Max Whitlock. He certainly put them through their paces but the children loved it!
