Welcome to St Mary’s Primary School
I will send an email tomorrow, but just to give you all a heads up: the Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning has made the decision, given the forecast of severe winds, to close all Government of Jersey schools on the island on Friday 23rd October 2026. There will be a severe weather warning in place tomorrow (Thursday) morning as the winds will be rising, so please take care on the roads on the way to school. It is more important that you arrive safely than punctually, so if you need to, take your time and be safe. We will provide home learning activities for Friday. Please share this information with your WhatsApp groups - I am unable to email until tomorrow morning. Have a good evening! Ms Steg
Year 4 saw the most amazing rainbow!
Year 4 enjoyed their brisk walk through Creepy Valley to explore water in the environment. We found a stream running from high ground to low, boggy pools and then a dry basin. We will revisit the area in March next year to have a look at how water changed the environment. It was a bit windy, but we found and explored the amazing climbing tree...
We were delighted to welcome back Ballet d'Jerri who came to workshop movement and collaborative dance with Key Stage 2 classes. It is always a pleasure when they come and work with us.
Year 5 had a fantastic time exploring the coast at Plemont! They were enthusiastic geographers, eagerly spotting and identifying coastal features and putting their learning into practice. There was plenty of excitement along the way, especially when we spotted some jellyfish! 🪼 The children were so keen to share their discovery that they asked for a photo to be shared with you all.
Well done to the football team who played an excellent game against St Peter's School. We did win, but just as importantly we played with excellent sporting attitudes and team spirit! Everyone played brilliantly and we are proud of the. A particular shout out to Jackson who made a spectacular gravity defying save.
Lots of fabulous History in Year 3 so far this week. On Tuesday we joined an online session with the National Archive to learn how we find out about the past and had a go at being history detectives. Today we spent the morning at La Hougue Bie learning all about the Stone Age. We had a go a rock polishing and jewellery making and saw how people living in the Stone Age would have made fire. We also got to handle lots of artefacts. Thank you to Tahnee and the lovely volunteers at Jersey Heritage.
A Prehistoric Adventure! Today, Y3 enjoyed a fascinating visit from Jersey Heritage, where we explored a range of fossils, including an incredible Megalodon tooth and a real piece of a T-Rex! The children also learned about the different types of rocks found in Jersey and discovered how these help us understand the island's history. A fantastic hands-on experience that brought our science learning to life!
What a fantastic effort from our children at the cross country today! They ran with such spirit, determination and enthusiasm, giving it their all in what were tough races with so many children taking part. It was brilliant to see them enjoying themselves, supporting each other and showing such a positive attitude from start to finish. A really great afternoon well done everyone!
We had a visit from the Science Explorer Dome today. Years 1-3 enjoyed finding out about Space. Year 4 revised their work on Light, and Year 5 revisited their Digestion topic! We all had a lot of fun!
Years 5 and 6 have been learning to skateboard. What a great opportunity!
Well done, everyone! A smooth election process. Now we have the counting of the votes... Election results later today... (or early tomorrow!)
