Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
Nursery have been learning about Jersey this week. We had a trip around the coast to visit some famous landmarks and we finished the week by baking our own loaf of cabbage bread!
Year 2 have been busy sewing. We have learnt how to do overstitching and created our first puppets using a template. We have now begun to design and create our own puppets from scratch!
Year 4 were bug hunting in science today and then worked in groups to create classification keys.
Year 3 have not just been playing either Lego (fun though that may be!). They have been linking their Lego work to the computer and programming movements into their projects.
Year 5 have been undertaking their Bikeability Level 2 training out on the road. The have learnt how to use ABCDD to assess their bike's readiness for the road. They have been learning about observation and positioning, communication and deciding who has priority, and making sure they have the time and space to manoeuvre safely. They're doing a really good job! Well done, Year 5.
Year 4 have all woken up in good spirits and started the day with some some den building - excellent teamwork!
Year 4 are having a fabulous time at the Scout Hut. They have had a fun nature walk and done some creative crown making at Frances Le Sueur centre this morning followed by bird spotting at Wetland centre and classification keys in the sand. This afternoon they have had beach time, playing rounders and creating imaginative sand sculpture monsters before dinner.
Year 4 have been exploring pneumatics as they made their own Moving Monsters in Design Technology.
Could anyone use barely used car seats or storage for a baby's room? Please let me know by Monday 22nd if you think you'd like it. Some grandparents are down sizing and are loathe to throw them away if someone could use them. All gone now.
Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow! We hope you had a great Easter break.
I came across this post from the Green Room Club. As many of you may already know, their Easter Musical is Shrek. The group is putting on a specially adapted performance for children who may struggle with the sensory experience of a full blown production. This production will have altered lighting and sound so that children are not overwhelmed. It's quite exciting to think that children who may have been unable to access the theatre because it can be overstimulating will have the opportunity to enjoy this production.
Last week we had a theatre in education performance for some of our KS2 children which was done in collaboration with Jersey Coastguard and ArtsHouse Jersey. Written by Sophie Martin, the play educates children on the importance of beach and sea safety. The performance has taken the place of the usual coastguard "chat" as a new way of putting the important message across. Thank you for a fantastic, fun and educational session!
