Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
We had a special visitor today! The children had a lovely q&a session with the celebrity of the day - none other than Pudsey himself. We learned that Pudsey loves honey on pancakes, and when he's not promoting Children in Need he hibernates at an undisclosed location on the island. He also did a very impressive Macarena!
What on earth have Year 3 been up to today! Making fossils, of course! (Of course! What else would it be!)
Thank you to Erin from The National Trust for Jersey who visited Year 3 this week. We focused on soils and carried out investigations into the soils we have around school. We also created a wormery and the children had great fun searching for worms!
This half term Year 3 are focusing on food and nutrition in DT. This week we practised our peeling and chopping skills by making apple crumble! We did it all ourselves and of course got to taste it too!
We were delighted that Story Beast popped in to see us this morning with his inspirational local legends and tales. The children from Reception to Year 6 were spellbound.
Year 3 have been learning about instruction writing. As part of this we designed our own potions and wrote instructions for how to make them. We then created our potions and some of us wrote spells to go with them which we performed in front of the class.

Year One had a great time making sandwiches and fruit kebabs and thinking thinking about making a balanced meal.

Please take care and stay safe!
EYFS have been busy learning about Autumn and today have had a visit from Jersey Hedgehog Preservation Group learning all about our spiky friends and how the group help them. They got to see some hedgehog spines and even got to look at some poo! A big thank you to Gail for coming in and helping us learn about these wonderful creatures.
Year 3 have been focusing on making shapes and different ways of travelling in gymnastics this half term. Today we got the equipment out and had a fabulous time!
Year 6 have had another fantastic day with Mrs Olivia from ArtHouse as part of the Making Art in Partnership with Schools Programme. We are working towards creating collaborative pieces which will be displayed in an exhibition next Spring. What a creative and talented class you are Year 6!
