St Marie's Catholic Primary School

The children have had a lovely first week back in pre-school. We have welcomed new children, and have recited the journey of the 'three wise men.' We found baby Jesus, lying in his manger. It was very exciting. Our new topic this term, is Space. We have been talking about what we might find in space and have learnt special new words. "gravity" and "orbit." The children loved watching a space rocket launch into space, we did a countdown from 10 and shouted "Blast off!"

The children have had a lovely last week in pre-school. We have been practicing wrapping presents at the wrapping station, reciting the birth of baby Jesus and enjoyed a fun disco at tea with Santa! We would just like to say a huge thank you for all the lovely gifts and cards we have received. They are greatly appreciated and we look forward to welcoming the children back in January. Have a very Merry Christmas, and a peaceful new year. Miss Perrins & Mrs Sivori x
