St Marie's Catholic Primary School

In the last week of the year we enjoyed sports day and we wrote and performed our own sea shanties. We spent time with our class governor and had a water safety talk to help keep us safe during the holidays when we are near water.

We had a wonderful sports day on Wednesday and it was a lovely way to celebrate all we have achieved in year 1. On Tuesday we had a special treat morning doing pop up provision play and we all had a great time! We are all excited for our Summer holiday and will come back rested and ready for year 2! Have a lovely time everyone.

The children have been thinking about St Peter and St Paul. A visit from Freddie Frog and celebrating with year 6.

Such a busy week in year 1. We began out Design and Technology project and by the end of the week we had made our very own London buses with wheels! We made a road map of London on the playground with many famous London landmarks. We also went to the Song Share performance at Robin Park. We listened and joined in so well and we had a great time!

Y5 compared the water resistance of different shapes as they fell through a volume of water. By timing how long our dough shapes took to reach the bottom, we could determine which shapes showed the most water resistance.

A big thank you to all of the volunteers who came into school for our Y5 & 6 careers day. The children heard about careers in physics, law, medicine, business and even from a CSI officer! Well done, Y5 and Y6, for asking such interesting questions.

This week we carried out an investigation in science to find out 'Are all children the same height in different year groups?' We had a great time at 'Song Share' singing with lots of different schools and on our own on stage.

We used our musical, listening and performing skills to present a percussion medley for our families and some other classes in school. We enjoyed every minute!

A busy week for the reception children

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 'Annual Summer Picnic'. A great time had by all. A huge thank you to the PTFA and staff who helped make this event happen.

This week we have been doing active maths to help us to tell the time and we started to learn about another faith - Judaism. We had a great day out at Formby Beach, we ate our healthy snack that we made, had lots of fun and lots of learning too. Thank you to all the adults who came to help and the children for their excellent behaviour.

This week has been all about Money! We have learned about the value and properties of each coin and we have practised playing shop using the correct amounts. We have also compared amounts. We had a very special visit from Freddie the Frog on Wednesday too!

We have used our persuasive writing skills to convince people to visit The Anderton Centre. We then used our presentation skills to persuade Year 3 to go there on a residential next year.

This week, we have been exploring ice and discovering what happens as it warms up and melts into water. The children enjoyed observing these changes and learning that when water is placed back into the freezer, it freezes and turns back into solid ice. We have also created beautiful transient art using natural resources. Freddie Frog came to visit us during our Funbox Jo session, we were so excited!

Y5 had a wonderful time at St. Peter's Science event. We all had a go at lighting and using Bunsen burners, building towers out of spaghetti and using microscopes. We also had the opportunity to show off our eco-friendly sustainable house.

Year 1 have tried our best this week despite the very hot weather. On Monday we explored our school ground in search of wild flowers and garden flowers and we compared them. In Maths, we have been looking at tens and ones and comparing numbers.

We have been deep in Oliver rehearsals and enjoying that. We have been doing lots of PSHE about digital literacy and Social Media. We have had a trial run at sewing for our buddies and read with them in the sunshine.

We have been celebrating the children's talents this week for The Celebration Of The Arts Week. In Science, we sorted plants into flowering and non-flowering on a pictogram.

This week we have dug up the potatoes that we planted back in April! We explored the roots and discussed what they needed to grow. The children said they're going to make "chips" "mashed potatoes" "wedges" "jacket potatoes." We have enoyed drawing our favourite place and have loved exploring in the garden.

We had a great time watching 'Punch and Judy' show. At the end end Will showed us 'behind' the scenes. He showed each of the puppets.
