Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
What a glorious day for a school residential! Today we were resilient, supportive and inclusive. We tackled the crate stack and keep of faith, working together to succeed. Everyone was amazing. We are preparing dinner before the camp fire and smores. Nurture Inspire Achieve
Hetty from the Arts Centre has been working with Year 6 on their understanding of the Occupation. This group are freeze framing the bombing of the island in 1940.
YEAR 5 update: We all slept well. Up at 6am ready for the day. We're breakfasted and up playing on site before Jersey Youth service arrive for some of today's activities
We have settled in to Crabbe and had a great day in the sunshine. We have made marble runs on the beach, den building in the woods and games on site. We've all had dinner and are having some free time before dessert.
This afternoon the Girl Guides from our Occupation musical had a wonderful surprise visit from the South West Deputy Commissioner Helen Barette. She came to show us the medal Grace La Roux was awarded for keeping her Guide company going during the Occupation despite the fact that the Germans had banned it. Helen has lent us 6 guiding promise badges to use in the show - two of which are from the 1940s!
We are looking forward to seeing you all again tomorrow - Wednesday 23rd April. Today the teachers and TAs are in training on concept based learning and curriculum design with our colleagues at Bel Royal School.
Year 4 went on a mini beast hunt this afternoon and then created their own classification keys to identify what they had found.
Thank you to Jersey Heritage who taught Year 4 all about the history of the cider and wool industry this morning at Hamptonne. The children had the opportunity to spin their own yarn and press apples to make apple juice.
A huge well done to our year 2 children this morning who showcased the music they've been learning over the past term with the Jersey Music Service. They played ukuleles, recorders, body percussion, and the 'Pbuzz' as well as singing and signing. Thank you to everyone that came to watch, and thank you to Miss King from the Jersey Music Service
The children were delighted with their gifts from the Mothers Day Secrets Room. Thank you to the volunteers who wrapped everything so beautifully- you were amazing! Happy Mothers Day!
It's here! The Mothers' Day Secrets Room is open!
Year 2 had a fabulous time at the Eric Young Orchid Foundation today. We learnt so much about different orchids and had a lovely time walking around the greenhouses and display house.
