Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
As a part of their materials topic, Year 5 have been in survival mode today! After some passionate debate the teams worked together brilliantly to build their shelters and purify their water. (I'm still not ENTIRELY sure it's drinkable!)
More wonders from Y4 rockpooling... Cushion starfish, sea hares and a lovely anemone. We are so lucky to live in this wonderful island.
Thank you to everyone who has sent in games for The Reef and items for our pending mud kitchen!
This was not done by Year 4. What sea creature made this artistic pattern..?
Grantez, then rock pooling with Mrs Crowsley. We found all sorts of creatures!
Year 4 had a great walk to Grantez Dolmen and then used this to create Dolmen inspired art. Asterix and Obelix fans may appreciate the fine menhir that formed part of Dolmen City!
There's a rumour of a couple of sunny days ahead, so just a reminder to slip, slip, slap and wrap! Most serious sun related skin conditions don't show for years, but the damage very often starts in childhood. Let's all stay safe in the sun.
We had a visit from the Jersey Coastguard team, telling us all about sea safety. There was a lot of important learning and also a lot of laughter!
It looks like a sprinkle of snow but in fact the field has a beautiful carpet of daisies! We have also agreed on a name for the cabin where the children can go to play quietly in their break time. The children have decided to call it 'The Reef'.
In this morning's assembly we learnt a little British Sign Language to acknowledge Deaf Awareness Week - including learning to sign and sing I can sing a rainbow. Can you have a go at spelling your name in BSL? #YourVoiceMatters
Today Years 4 and 5 had a concert about Kings and Queens - including Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Skye Boat Song. Good fun had by all!
Reception to Year 4 enjoyed a splendid concert this week. Lots of brassy, boogie beats. And then... some of the classes had the opportunity to try out the instruments. Lots of reassuring scraping, belching noises - and great fun was had by all. Thank you JMS for a terrific concert!
