Our Y4 children have had the best time at the ‘Glow in the Dark Dodgeball’ Festival. They especially loved the neon experience and represented the school superbly . Well done all of you, we are so proud of you !
Today our dodgeball team competed in the qualifiers and played really well. They came in 2nd place, securing themselves a spot in the schools final next week. Well done and good luck in the finals!
The Laudato Si team and the Year 4 children had a fabulous day at Wardley Hall and took part in lots of activities to help protect the environment . They shared so many fantastic ideas which they can bring back to school to help save our common home.
Today we had a special visit from Mrs Pickup accompanied by her granddaughter, Olivia, and her new great grandson, Cassius . Olivia attended St Mary’s nearly 20 years ago and Cassius is hoping to attend when he starts school in 4 years! As you all probably know , Mrs Pickup was a much loved welfare assistant for us for many years too . It was wonderful to see them all ! 💚💛
We are very grateful to Kath from Caritas who came to work with our ambassdors this afternoon and has left us brimming with ideas of how we can have greater impact and continue to put 'love into action' in our school, community and diocese. The children were exemplary and gave a wonderful welcome and insight into how special our school is. Kath was so impressed with how seriously the children take their role and how much they value it. Well done children!
KS2 children also joined an online workshop with storyteller and rapper Alim Kamara for a session full of music and excitement. They learnt that RAP stands for rhythm and poetry and were inspired to create some raps of their own.
This week is ‘National Storytelling Week’ and as part of our celebrations, children in KS1 joined an online workshop with author and musician, Annemarie Anang, where they created a story through sound and rhythm. They then created their own ‘I am’ poem celebrating their name and unique selves based on Annemarie’s book ‘I am Nefertiti’. I think it is clear to see that the children had a wonderful morning!
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.
