Science Week

We’ve got a pretty action-packed week planned for science week! See ‘This Week’ for the schedule. A farm is visiting the school today, we have a company bringing some birds of prey, a theatre workshop on forces  and an inflatable planetarium! The idea of the week is to get the children excited about science with a particular emphasis on the natural sciences - animals. Thanks once again to our Friends Association who are funding the visiting farm.

 This should be another fun week at St Mary’s and, hopefully, we’ll all learn something new.


Thank You

I’d just like to say a big thank you to everyone who came along to our Governors and Parents Evening last Tuesday. I’d especially like to thank our Friends Association, who coordinated the refreshments on the evening, all those people who brought in food to share and Sian Rickett, who worked really hard to produce a very slick DVD explaining the story making projects we are involved with - not sure that’s anywhere in her job description!


Sports Relief

We had an interesting, fun day on Friday and all of the children were involved in running the ‘St Mary’s Marathon.’ Everybody contributed  in some way or another and we raised £192.08 to be donated to Sports Relief. Thank you.
