Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
Year 5 spent the afternoon at Safety in Action. We learnt about staying safe in different places. We really enjoyed crawling through the smoke filled corridor and putting each other in the recovery position.
Year 4 were very creative last week, designing and making 3D 'failed pets' and fantastic beast masks. Their projects inspired detailed fact files and a persuasive letter.
Unfortunately the weather forecast for tomorrow is not on our side so we have had to make the decision to cancel sports day. An email has been sent to all parents but please send children in PE kit for the rest of the week and we will do some indoor activities and sporty bits outside when we can. Sorry for the short notice - we were keeping everything crossed for an improvement in the weather!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit from the coastguards. It was very entertaining and the important lessons about how to stay safe on our beaches were loud and clear.
Year 4 had a wonderful start to the week with an outstanding cello performance! (Thank you to Mr Gray from Jersey Music Service and Mrs Bailey) The class then shared a performance poem and piece of writing with their parents - all inspired by their science project on rainforest conservation.
Today year 5 attended the Oracy event, Speak up, Speak out. We were inspired, impressed and amazed at the quality of the year 6 finalists. They spoke with such passion and confidence. I wonder who will be our finalist next year on that stage from our class? We enjoyed the poetry performance by Christian Foley, too.
Year 4 have thoroughly enjoyed their Farming For The Future sessions this week! They have learnt about different types of farming practices and the importance of development in technology and equipment. They have also learnt about different soils and the importance of biodiversity and sustainable farming.
Year 4 had their swim safety lesson today. They learnt different strategies to be able to deal with an emergency in the water. The class have been excellent progress with their swimming.
Another fun-filled day for Y6 - archery, axe throwing, zip wire, aerial trekking, power fan and king swing. Thank you to all the team at Creepy Valley who looked after us so well and to everyone who has helped Year 6 to have such an amazing experience this week. Year 6 have been excellent ambassadors for St Mary's School and it has been a pleasure to take them out and about.
Some lovely flowers and veggies coming - nice work KS1!
Another busy day for Year 6. Kayaking this morning at Bouley Bay. Some very impressive hot chocolates helped us to warm up....although some opted for ice creams ....brrrr! Then it was off to the zoo for a picnic, shared with a dive-bombing seagull, before an arty afternoon with Chris and Megan.
