Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
Year 3 have outdone themselves with their 'Tin Forest' projects. So many fantastic creations and everyone presented clearly and confidently to the class. Well done everyone

Year 5/6 had a great time at the Football Festival today. The boys played brilliantly as a team and with passion. The girls had the dreadful rain to contend with but still had smiles on their faces and worked together on the pitch.
A busy week in Year 3 - among other things we have been learning all about friction and carrying out investigations to see which surfaces create the most friction. The children were provided with the resources but worked in groups to plan and carry out their investigations.
Year 3 have been busy cooking pancakes with Rachel from Caring Cooks! They worked in groups to measure the ingredients, mix, cook and present their pancakes in a restaurant style - thinking about presentation and table manners. Of course they also got to enjoy eating their pancakes! Whilst each group were busy being chefs the rest of the class worked in groups to create pancake cafe menus, write instructions and research pancakes. Did you know there is evidence to suggest pancakes actually date back to the Stone Age? We also found out (among many other things) that Queen Elizabeth II enjoyed pancakes, Donald Trump does not eat pancakes and quite a lot of animals are allowed plain pancakes as a rare treat!
A few more pictures from Year 5 who had a fantastic morning at St Michael's school taking part in a STEAM event. We worked collaboratively with other schools and showed great communication and curiosity to create Lego models, use coding and learn new skills.
Year 5 had a fabulous time! What a great experience. Thank you for the opportunity.
Arthouse Jersey project. We focused on the theme of water and used seaweed to inspire our cyanotype photography, sketching, painting, printing, and embroidery work. The exhibition of our Year 4 and 6 work will be at Capital House during Feb half term.
Year 6 have produced some gorgeous artwork. They will be heading off for an Arthouse Exhibition in a couple of weeks. There's a lot of high quality art skills here! Well done.
The Lost Property Box is overflowing again. Please come and reclaim your child's belongings!
Thank you to everyone who supported The Giving Tree. As you can see, it was much appreciated.
Thank you everyone for your support this morning. It was a good start to the day, and just gave us all that extra time to get to school safely!
