St Marie's Catholic Primary School

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.

Year 1 have celebrated Arts week! Everyday for the last 10 minutes we have shared our videos, art work, writing and music making! It has been so much fun and such a lovely end to each day.

Y5 have been working hard on their sustainabilty eco-house projects for their upcoming visit to St Peter's.

This week in R.E. we have thought about our neighbours near and far and asked the question 'Who is my neighbour?' In D.T. we have started to design our healthy snack to take to the coast. We have been looking at features of a coast and shared some more great homework.

Using our PE skills and having fun on an athletics carousel.

Pre-school have enjoyed creating repeating patterns using famous landmarks in London.

The children found a baby vole in the garden just as we were about to plant some radishes'. We also filled the buckets and wheel barrows with bark chippings and moved to a different part of the garden.

A busy week in reception. We have been thinking about how Jesus is everyone's friend and what makes a good friend. We have made gingerbread people linked to our maths work. The children have also designed disgusting sandwiches for the seagulls to eat from the story 'The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch'.

This week we have all completed our phonics quiz, we all tried our very best. We looked at the parts of the plant in Science and the job of each part and acted out their function in small groups. We have also been finding quarters in Maths.

Y5 practiced their oracy by carrying out an information relay. Each team member retrieved a question, discussed it with their group and took the answer back to the question sheet. Well done Y5!

Some of the children represented the school in the year 3/4 football tournament. Everyone showed great teamwork and played some fantastic football. They also made it all the way to the quarter finals before missing out on penalties. We are so proud! Well done!
