• Final Farewells

  Fri 17 Jul 2015 Mrs Hall

  Today was a mixture of both happiness and sadness. We say goodbye to Year 6 and wish them well as they continue their journey to secondary school.

   

  We also said farewell to Mr Andrew Dutton who has been a valuable member of our Governing Body for fifteen years. We wish him all the future happiness as he begins married life in pastures new. Thank you for all of your work and support at St. Mary's.

   

  Final farewells were also said to Mr P Kelly and Miss Wilson as they branch out in their careers. Thank you for all of the fun and enthusiasm you have brought to us. Good luck at University, Miss Wilson and good luck at Lister Drive, Mr Kelly. Don't be strangers!

  Tue 14 Jul 2015 Mrs H
  Children from the Christian Fellowship School joined us in school today. Children from Year 4 and Year 5 have been writing to children from the Christian Fellowship School all year as part of a penal project and they finally got to meet. They shared the day with their penal and were given a tour of the school before joining in with our Bastille Day activities. 

  

• Book Amnesty!

  Tue 14 Jul 2015 Mrs H
  As it is almost the end of the school year, as you can imagine, class libraries and book stocks are running low. Re-stocking books is expensive so could we ask therefore, that you encourage your children to look under their beds and in their favourite hiding places to find any school books they may have forgotten about? Please send in any books found, no matter from how long ago! Your support in this matter is much appreciated.

• Bastille Day

  Tue 14 Jul 2015 Mrs H

  Oo la la! Fantastique! Tres bon effort tout le monde! The yard was a palette of red, white and blue this morning. Everyone has entered into the spirit of the day with gusto, thank you. 

  We began our celebrations with catwalk to French music before picking a Key Stage 1 and a Key Stage 2 winner. Children then had the opportunity to buy French pastries at break. 

  Children are now going to spend the rest of the day on a carousel of French-related activities :Matisse artwork, French cricket, mime, dance and face painting. Thanks to Mr L Kelly and Miss Wilson for organising the day.
