Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
It looks like a sprinkle of snow but in fact the field has a beautiful carpet of daisies! We have also agreed on a name for the cabin where the children can go to play quietly in their break time. The children have decided to call it 'The Reef'.
In this morning's assembly we learnt a little British Sign Language to acknowledge Deaf Awareness Week - including learning to sign and sing I can sing a rainbow. Can you have a go at spelling your name in BSL? #YourVoiceMatters
Today Years 4 and 5 had a concert about Kings and Queens - including Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Skye Boat Song. Good fun had by all!
Reception to Year 4 enjoyed a splendid concert this week. Lots of brassy, boogie beats. And then... some of the classes had the opportunity to try out the instruments. Lots of reassuring scraping, belching noises - and great fun was had by all. Thank you JMS for a terrific concert!
Year 5 had a great time today separating ingredients in a rather horrid mixture. The results were mixed, with some groups having limited success - but one or two groups did phenomenally well! Great job!
Last week in assembly Years 1,2 and 3 explored the idea of stereotypes and talked about how people can sometimes make assumptions about others based on how they look, what they like, or whether they are a boy or a girl. Through different scenarios and discussions in mixed year group groupings, the children thought carefully about fairness, kindness, and celebrating that everyone is unique and can enjoy or achieve different things.
Year 3 had a fabulous morning at the Maritime Museum. We found out lots about Vikings by becoming history detectives and exploring lots of resources. The children asked lots of great questions and shared their knowledge back at school. Thank you to Alice from Jersey Heritage!
An excellent pair of last matches for the A and B teams. A lovely result for both, but even more impressive is the excellent sporting attitude. Well done, one and all. Thank you, Josh, for your excellent training this season.
Well done to our super swimmers at the Swimarathon on Friday. Everyone put in an excellent effort and supported and encouraged one another. Thanks also to our gallant supporters who cheered us on so enthusiastically.
In assembly today years 1,2 and 3 learnt about Easter around the world. They then buddied with children in different classes to share their own Easter traditions! It was really interesting to hear all the different ways we celebrate.
Tomorrow is our Open Day and we are looking forward to sharing all the chiildren's hard work with you. Parents may come in from 2:00 pm. and friends and members of St Mary's community are welcome between 3:00-4:00 and 5:30-7:00 pm.
We are so proud of Amelia who today did a presentation to her class, with the help of Hannah from SALT, about her stammer. She helped the class understand how she feels about it and how we can all help. Well done!
