St Marie's Catholic Primary School

This week we have created a dance to show how the Apostles felt at Pentecost, we have made cards for someone who shows us unconditional love like Jesus shows us. We have measured our plant stems and counted the leaves to monitor how they are growing and have enjoyed another Mystery Reader.

We performed freeze frames in R.E. to show the feelings of the disciples when Jesus appeared to them, while they were fishing.

We have had a super exciting week in pre-school. Our pet caterpillars arrived! The children have loved making their caterpillar a cosy home and have even given their caterpillar a name. We can't wait to watch them grow over the next couple of weeks. We are exploring animals this term, the children have matched the animals to their patterns. They have also created a beautiful piece of art work inspired by Henri Rosseau's 'Tiger in a tropical storm.'

The children sat beautifully through our special Mass on Monday. We all had a great time at our picnic and performing our dance for the school and parents. The children enjoyed looking around the museum. Finally, on Friday, we buried our time capsules and helped to plant the tree. In the time capsules, we drew a picture and said what we would like to be. We had footballers, midwives, and farmers.

What a wonderful week we have had celebrating our 60th Anniversary! We started the week with a special mass in school with our friends and families followed by a look round our 'school museum'. We completed lots of fun activities in our class and finished the day on Tuesday with a wonderful showcase of songs from each decade the school has been open. It was such a special occasion and everyone enjoyed dancing along with smiling faces. We finished the week with a very special

We have had a great week celebrating St Marie's 60th Birthday

This week we had a great time celebrating 60 Years of St Marie's. We enjoyed a lovely mass, visiting the school museum, dressing up, a picnic, performing our dance from the 1980's and planting a tree and our time capsule. In Science we set up a comparative test to find out what conditions plants need and we planted seeds so we can monitor how they grow.

It has been a wonderful first week back at pre-school. The children have enjoyed playing in the sunshine, celebrating the 60th anniversary and have took on roles in the new veterinary surgery. Robot group have also practiced their cutting skills in phonics, carefully snipping their rhyming robots.

As part of our St. Marie's 60th Anniversary Celebrations, we dressed up in 1990s outfits; performed a dance to a 1990s song and enjoyed a whole school picnic.

We will be 'Difference Detectives' and investigate different life cycles and how things grow and change.

Please see the attached Parent Information Sheet for information on what we will be learning about in Y5 this half term.

This week, the children have enjoyed creating Easter cards, and welly planting. We have been on an Egg hunt around the garden, tasted yummy hot cross buns and enjoyed potato planting with Mr Keating.

We shared some lovely homework together in our final week. We have also visited the stations of the cross with year 6 leading us and talked about Jesus's final days leading up to Easter Sunday. Everyone has worked so hard this term and deserves a well earned rest.

This week we have been busy making Easter cards and an Easter Paschal candle. We have added prayers to our prayer book and walked around the stations of the cross led by year 6. We have worked hard with our handwriting all term.

We performed the Easter Story through words, song and dance. Happy Easter from Mrs Hawkins, Mrs Carrington, Mrs Polgar and Mrs Aspinall x
