Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
We have 10 lovely entries for the first St Mary's Story Competition. Anyone with a half finished story who can finish it and bring it in by Monday can also enter. This was not compulsory, just an opportunity for children who love story telling to fill some rainy afternoons at half term. We have had poetry, retelling of traditional tales, a flip book, diaries, and original stories. I am looking forward to reading them and sharing them with the judging panel!
Crikey - what a difference a week makes! I had hoped that year 4 would make it to the edge of the body of water in Creepy Valley. I can't quite bring myself to call it a lake... The photo on the left was taken in half term. We didn't even get that far today! It seems to have turned into a swamp! Year 4 did enjoy tromping through the mud, and we managed to observe the water from above. St Catherine's provided us with an excellent example (in miniature) of how rivers flow and how they affect the land. We were back in time for lunch - muddy and hungry!
Year 4... don't forget to wear your WELLY BOOTS tomorrow morning!
For those of you who missed the outstanding Arthouse Exhibition - here is some of the work as displayed there. Great job Years 4 and 6!
Next week Year 4 are heading out to look at water in the environment - in particular, we are going to revisit an area of the dunes which is sandy in the summer but a very large pond in the winter. As you can see from the photo below the path to this pond is waterlogged. Please can you make sure your Year 4 child wears wellies to our walk!
Just a reminder that our school library is open between 10-12pm today (Wed 18th). We will also have our pre-loved uniform available for anyone who needs something.
Y6 and Y4 have worked closely with ArtHouse Jersey this year. Their work is included in this exhibition. Please do pop down and have a look.
This week is Children's Mental Health Week. The focus of this week is to help children understand how important it is to have a sense of belonging in school, at home and in the community. additional resources can be found through the link: https://www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk/families/
Year 1 enjoyed a lovely walk around St Mary last week. We were looking at physical and human features, then we made maps of the route we took.
