St Marie's Catholic Primary School

A busy week in reception, we have been learning about the Lifecycle of Butterflies'.

We had a fantasitic visit to Chester Zoo.

As part of our To Know You More Clearly work, we have been learning about the five Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. We created 'freeze frames' for each of the mysteries.

This week, Year 1 retold the story of the Road to Emmaus from Luke's Gospel. We also said the Rosary with Year 4 as part of the month of Mary. We have been busy in our areas recapping our phonics and we have begun counting in 2s in Maths.

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.
