Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
Well done, everyone! A smooth election process. Now we have the counting of the votes... Election results later today... (or early tomorrow!)
A plea for volunteers to get involved in The Battle of Flowers for the St Ouen's and St Mary's float. It looks like great fun!
It's Democracy Week! We started the week with an interactive assembly, and each class's candidates spoke about their manifestos and why they would be the best choice to represent their year group on the school council. Today we have the elections. We went to the Parish Hall where our candidates greeted the voters, and we all went through the process of signing in with the election officials, voting in the voting booths and dropping our ballot papers in the voting boxes... Now we have a short wait to find out who has been elected, but in the meantime a hearty well done to everyone who stood for election. It's a courageous thing to do, and with 48 candidates overall, it shows how passionate our children are about having a voice and making a difference.
And... our last pictures of our fabulous year 6s as they leave us for their secondary schools. You are already fantastic ambassadors for St Mary's School! We will miss you, but we know you're ready to fly.
Year Six made themselves a delicious leavers afternoon tea in the last week of term.
Before the end of term I chanced upon this lesson on pollination! Mrs Webb took her inspiration from a bee birthday balloon and turned it into an interactive lesson! Great fun!
Year 6 had the breakfast of champions down at Greve De Lecq after a brisk swim this morning.
We had a lovely morning today! World Cup teams competed in our mixed year group Sports Day. The children took part either enthusiasm and the watching crowd were lovely and supportive! A great time was had by all. And the winner..? Morocco! Well done, one and all!
Year 5 have had a very "safe" afternoon at Safety in Action. We are now experts in keeping ourselves safe both at home and out and about. We really enjoyed escaping from a smoke filled corridor.
Year 5 had a great morning helping the National Trust make bunting to celebrate their 60th birthday. We created designed linked to their work. We are looking forward to seeing it on display.
Year 5 enjoyed their visit to the States Chamber. We learnt all about the role of States members and the elections. We got to sit in the seat of a States member and hold our own debate. Afterwards, we asked Connetable Johnson some thoughtful questions.
Well, it's not going to snow tomorrow, but apart from that I'd say 'send your children in ready for anything!' Sunscreen, hats, water bottles and shoes for rain, and a waterproof. Remember the saying 'there's no such thing as bad weather - just the wrong clothing.' It will be nice to have a typical Jersey summer's day for once, before the hot weather resumes on Tuesday.
