As you are probably already aware, the children have come home today with their end of year reports and their times tables check results. Inside their report envelopes are also the letters to tell you/them what class they will be in next year.

We hope you are pleased with your child/children’s reports, we are so pleased with their attitudes and progress made. Well done all 🙂 

This week we have delivered the relationships and sex education programme to the children. They were all SO mature and respectful. The boys and girls were taught separately for the final two lessons so that any questions that may arise (of which there were lots) could be suited to a particular gender at that particular time.  We hope that the children’s questions have been answered during the lessons but if there is anything else they would like to ask/think of, we have question boxes in our classroom that they can use.

Here is our Summer 2 topic overview to share what we have been and will be learning about over the next few weeks. – Half-term overview Latitude and Longitude

Just a polite reminder that children should be coming into school on non-PE days in the correct school uniform. There have been a few incidents this week of children coming to school in their own shorts/trainers when we haven’t had PE.

Another week has flown by!

Thank you for your continued support.

Good afternoon all,

We’re nearing the end of a fantastic term and the teachers in LKS2 would like to thank you for your ongoing support throughout this term – we have had a lot going on and we couldn’t have done it without you!

This week, being the super scientists we are, we made our own board games using magnets! We made a mixture of fishing games, racing games and maze games using cardboard, magnets and a variety of other materials we could find in the classroom. The children were super savvy and creative with their designs and it was a fantastic end to our topic of Forces and Magnets.

In maths, we have been moving forward this week with our multiplication and division. The year 4s are preparing everyday for the upcoming times-table test!  We have also been fantastic historians this week and researched Danelaw. The children have worked so hard and are almost due for a well deserved rest!

Thank you,

Miss Parker, Mrs Cartwright and Miss Wade

Wow, what an exciting first week back!

We have lots of new routines and regulations at St. Marys and the children have been absolutely outstanding with our new Relentless Routines. They have worked so hard this week and their behaviour has been amazing, we couldn’t be more proud of the children of St. Marys.

We started our week by learning in-depth about our inner chimps; we even named them! Our inner chimp is the emotional team within our brain that thinks and acts for us without our permission. We learned to manage our chimps using our rational brains and learned it is important to work with our chimp, not against as our chimp is just trying to protect us.

To end off our brilliant week, we spent our Friday investigating and examining owl pellets! We were excellent scientists today and used our working scientifically skills to predict, experiment, gather data and conclude our investigation on the diets of owls to finish off our topic ‘Animals Including Humans’. We found lots of interesting things in the pellets including animal bones, skulls and small insects. Don’t worry, we washed our hands multiple times!

The PE days are as following:

Class 8 – Tuesday, Wednesday

Class 7 – Tuesday, Wednesday

Class 6 – Tuesday, Thursday

Cool Kids – Monday (only applicable if your child is in Cool Kids)

I hope you have a lovely, restful weekend ahead after an exciting first week back!

Best wishes,

Miss Parker, Mrs Cartwright and Miss Wade
