UK Ukraine Partnership

This afternoon our UK Ukraine partnership group took part in a heart‑warming call with our partnership school in Poltava, where children from both schools shared their writing about their heroes. It was wonderful to hear how many of their heroes were similar, and to see the pride they took in reading their thoughtful work to one another. The session helped strengthen connections between the schools and celebrate the inspiring people who motivate our pupils every day.

Year 1 and 2 Become Historians ✍️

This week, pupils in Year 1 and Year 2 have been busy writing non-chronological reports about Richard Trevithick. The children explored key facts about his life and why he is an important figure in history, particularly for his role in developing early steam locomotives.

Using their disciplinary literacy skills, the pupils worked hard to write like historians. They organised their work using headings, included important facts, and used subject-specific vocabulary to explain who Richard Trevithick was and why his inventions were significant. It was wonderful to see the children applying their historical knowledge in their writing while presenting information clearly for their readers.

We were very impressed with the children’s enthusiasm and the thoughtful way they approached their work. Well done, Year 1 and Year 2 historians!

Eco Club Update 🌱

During this week’s Eco Club enrichment session, the children discussed the three new trees that have recently arrived at school. The group talked about why planting trees is important for the environment and how they will benefit our school grounds. The children then worked together to write letters to Mrs North, asking where she would like the Eco Club to plant the trees next week.

It was wonderful to see the children working collaboratively, with older pupils supporting their younger peers as they shared ideas and helped with the letter writing. The group showed great teamwork and enthusiasm for improving our school environment.

Reminder: Next week we will be planting the trees, so children in Eco Club should please bring a coat and wellies so they are ready to get outdoors and help with the planting. 🌳

Reading Week Fun at St. Mary’s Primary

Today was one of our most fun days of the year — Dress Up as Your Favourite Book Character!
The school was filled with magical wizards, brave superheroes, curious explorers, and so many much‑loved characters brought to life by our amazing pupils.
A huge well done to all the children (and staff!) for their creativity, enthusiasm, and love of reading. It’s wonderful to see stories inspiring such joy and imagination across our school.
Here’s to a fantastic Reading Week full of books, learning, and fun!

On the farm – visitors

This half term, our topic is ‘On the farm’. This week our story focus is ‘Look what I have found on the farm’ and we are learning about baby animals. We were lucky enough to have Mr and Mrs Davies visit with their tractor and trailer containing four piglets. The children were very excited to meet them! They were able to stroke the piglets and sit in the tractor. It was a very memorable afternoon.

Thank you to Mr and Mrs Davies for taking the time to enhance our learning in early years at St Mary’s.

Reading Week – Buddy Reading

Today our classes teamed up for Buddy Reading, and it was absolutely wonderful to see our older and younger pupils sharing stories, helping each other, and enjoying time together.
Moments like these remind us how special our school community is — teamwork, kindness, and a love of reading all in one place!
Well done, everyone!
