Wow, what a fantastic year at St. Marys we have had.

From exploring Battlefield 1403, to serving up our very own French Cafe, to making our own Canopic jars… there’s been laughter, tears and some scrapes along the way!

I’m very sad to be saying goodbye to lots of lovely faces. Each and every one of you have brought joy to St. Marys and I wish all children nothing but the best as they move up the school.

I hope you all have a fun-filled summer and have a much needed rest. We’ve worked very hard this year, you all deserve it!

Thank you for all the lovely presents, too.

Best wishes,

Miss. Parker 🙂

Hi all,

An earlier message was sent out with incorrect information. The children will need to be in normal school uniform on Wednesday.

Thank you,

Miss. Parker

Hello all,

On Wednesday afternoon we will be having an end of year party!

If your child wants to bring in snacks to share, we would like them to be pre-packaged please and we will put them on a snack table. I will provide squash for the children. No fizzy drinks, please! 🙂 The children can wear PE kits.

Thank you,
Miss. Parker and Mrs. Willoughby

Hi all,

Next week, to complete our science unit ‘sound’, we will be making our own musical instruments! I have asked the children to please bring in clean tin cans (such as empty beans cans) and empty tissue cartons if they are wanting to make a drum or guitar, respectively. We will need these by Monday.

Thank you,

Miss. Parker 🙂

Hi all,

PE days for the rest of the school year for class 6 and 7 will be Wednesday and Friday.

Many thanks,
Miss. Parker and Mrs. Willoughby

Hi all,

In case you weren’t already aware, there will be no clubs this Thursday due to a conflicting staff meeting. I did inform the clubs last week but just to confirm, drama club and gardening club will not be running this week. Clubs will resume as normal next week.

Thank you,

Miss Parker & Mrs Willoughby

A big well done to class 7 this week. It’s been a tough one tip-toeing around school and making sure we’re sensible for the year 6s doing the SATS! Everyone deserves a big pat on the back.

I’m sure you all have received the French Café letters that is set to take place at the end of term, we’re all super excited about it. In fact, this week, we’ve been practising our French ready. To all the children who came up to me at the end of the day to show me how much French they remembered, a big high five! Please ensure they are brought into class/the office ASAP so seats can be allocated.

In maths this week, our lovely year 4s have taken their first official multiplication practise check! Although I think our nerves got the better of us sometimes, we did really well for a first go. We will practise as much as possible in school but please make sure we are practising at home too, without counting the times-tables on our fingers! Other than that, in year 4, we are coming along leaps and bounds with our decimals work.

This week in science, we learned about the lightbulb and who really invented it. We had a lovely debate about who should actually get the credit for its invention, and then designed our very own classroom with a twist… Lightbulbs had never been invented. Well done, class 7.

Unfortunately, this week, our cricket coach cancelled on us due to the rain (but will owe us an extra session in future) so we had a fun impromptu PE lessons with lots of active games and it was the perfect opportunity to break out the parachute! So, it was all okay in the end.

Finally, in our topic work, we virtually explored the tiny island of Mont Saint-Michel and used our compasses to identify directions.

There will not be homework this week until Monday, but children will have an extra day to hand it in. It will be due in on Friday.

Here’s to another fun week next week,
Miss. Parker 🙂

Hi all,

Going forward, our PE will now be every Wednesday and Thursday.

Thanks,

Miss. Parker 🙂
