Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
Have a great school hols everyone!
Sounds like fun. Watch out for the information about the Pet Service on 4th August.
Today Years 1 and 2 went to La Rocque. We went searching in the rock pools and found all sorts of creatures! Big crabs were a highlight for lots of children. We also had some time to play on the beach and create some beautiful artwork.
Yesterday Year 5 were part of the island scheme Safety in Action. We visited Highlands College and tool part in 6 workshops linked to being safe. These included escaping a smoke filled building, checking safety in the kitchen and learning the recovery position.
Year 5 were fantastic 'States Members' last week where we discussed the proposal - the working school week should be four days long, with extended days to cover statutory learning hours. Great, confident arguments were put forward for both sides. The proposal as passed with 14 in favour.
Mrs Smith described today as 'Year 6 being awesome'! They were ready, respectful and safe and they looked out for each other.
In DT Year 2 have been learning about structures. Last week we focused on building walls with running bonds and stacked bonds, but this week we turned our focus to the foundations. We built towers and simulated Earthquakes to find out how different foundations affect the sturdiness of a building.
For Year 3 transition days, the children were set the DT challenge of building a pneumatic dumper truck. They showed fantastic measuring, cutting and joining skills, plus creativity with their designs! Each child received a well deserved Primary Engineers certificate.
ATTENTION YEAR 6 PARENTS: Kayaking tomorrow (Thursday 11th July) is now from St Catherine's Slipway. Drop off between 8:30-9:00. Thank you.
