St Marie's Catholic Primary School

This week we have compared objects using non unit measurements in maths. We have also grouped different animals in science, looking at features and characteristics of each group. We did our very best writing in English, writing about how we would look after our pet dinosaur using 'ing' verbs.

We have been learning about how Peter denied Jesus and how he was forgiven. We enjoyed P.E. with Wigan Athletic and another Mystery Reader. We had some time on the iPads to embed our phonics knowledge.

Year 4 Drumming Performance. Thank you for coming to watch and supporting our learning.

We have been very busy preparing our assembly and making our gifts for our lovely mummy's. Happy Mothers Day to all our mums on Sunday.

We have had a busy week in reception, creating patterns,

We have continue to practice for our SATs this week, we have been revising specific spelling patterns, all our word classes and how to attempt reasoning questions. We have continued with our journey through Holy Week and also played a ball game The Maya played and wrote a set of instructions.

Y5 practiced their maths learning in an active maths session. We revised our decimals, percentages and fractions as well as our square and cube numbers. Well done, Y5

We have enjoyed two more mystery Readers in Year 2 this week. We loved making bird's nests for science week and investigated if they would survive rain and wind. We have role played Jesus' entrance to Jerusalem and been working on arrays in Maths. We also enjoyed performing our Mother's Day Assembly.

This week it was British Science week. We collected natural materials at home and during daily mile and we created our own dinosaur habitats. We had to consider what the dinosaur would need to survive. We have been busy preparing for our Mothers Day assembly and have used 'but' to join clauses in a sentence.

World Book Day in Year 4 based on Perfectly Norman who grew wings.

Please see attached the information that was shared on our SATs Parent Meeting

A great week, full of science experiments, washing of feet and WORLD BOOK DAY. The children recorded a podcast and interviewed children around school about their experience of the day

We had a great day thinking about how unique we are like 'Perfectly Norman'.

On Thursday we celebrated World Book Day 2026. Our theme was 'Perfectly Norman' written by Tom Percival. This was such a lovely book with the underlining theme of the importance of being ourselves and being proud of who we are. Year 1 loved reading and chatting about the book and the children talked about their reasons for their chosen costume. Rosie's mum kindly brought in some real fossils from the Jurassic Coast of North Yorkshire which we all loved looking at.

Thank you, Y5 for such an enjoyable World Book Day 2026! You looked great in your costumes or dressed in something that made you unique! In class, we focused on the book Perfectly Norman , by Tom Percival. We created story maps, to practice our sequencing events skills and made emoji maps that tracked the emotions and feelings of characters throughout the book.

As we celebrate national science week next week, Y5 have been busy preparing their projects ready to take to a showcasing event at Standish Community High School. The theme of science week this year is 'curiosity'. We have been set a space themed task where we have to protect the 'astronauts' in our landing craft by creating a shock-absorbing system for our lander. Well done, Y5, you were extremely resourceful!

This week we enjoyed World Book Day, especially the story of Perfectly Norman. We had two more Mystery Readers this week which was wonderful. We have been learning about 'groups of' in Maths and also put our sewing squares together to make a Kantha Quilt.
