Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
The children sheltering in our one classroom with air conditioning yesterday were super scientists! The scenario: someone broke into the museum yesterday, and a case of artefacts broken into. A mystery liquid was found nearby. The challenge: what was the liquid? And what was the person who broke into trying to do...? They separated the materials and discovered it was a salt solution for cleaning up an etched treasure map. Great job!
Finishing off this hot week retelling 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' in French and another water fight in Y3 - well done to all the children for getting through this week
Great start to the day: aerial trekking, power drop fan, abseiling and climbing. Year 6 are taking everything in their stride!
Good morning all! There was talk of the very high temperatures continuing into the weekend but it seems quite cool and pleasant out this morning. We are looking forward to a much more normal day. Temperatures in the classrooms remain high, but should hopefully come down with all the doors open as long as the heat doesn't shoot up. We are still offering flexibility, and early pickup this afternoon, but at the moment it looks like it's going to be a much mare manageable day.
Another fantastic day. Y6 were awesome ambassadors for St Mary's . They managed to stay cool in the sea and even found some decent waves on a very calm sea! Big thanks to Grace, Scott and the team at Laneez for a great day.
Year 2 bug hotels at playtime! And a very fine looking moth...
I think Year 6 picked the best two places to be on a very hot day. Thank you so much to Jersey War Tunnels and Seafaris Jersey for giving us such a special day.
Great trip to war tunnels - we can highly recommend it as a cool place to visit in this heat!
Archery and axe throwing and the Giant Swing! What fun, Year 6! Message from Mrs Smith: Y6 have been awesome today. Everybody has tried everything - positive attitudes all round despite the heat. They have been very responsible in the hot conditions-applying suncream in copious amounts and staying hydrated. Thanks to all parents for making sure that they had everything they needed.
Update: it is due to be over 35+ degrees tomorrow (Tuesday), Wednesday and Thursday. School will be open as usual, but we are also giving you the option of keeping children at home, or picking them up at lunchtime. If the situation becomes unmanageable we will let you know, and may have to come up with another plan but for now school will remain open.
Sketching at St Mary's Church this afternoon! A welcome respite from the heat!
Message from Year 6: lovely and cool down here. All kitted up - lots of fun whizzing down the zip wire and problem solving to complete the crate stack challenge.
