Welcome to week 3
What a busy week we had last week but also what a successful one. You would have been very proud of your children. They are marvelous ambassadors for our school when we have visitors.
This week I have decided to devote to our wearable Arts unit. We need to finish the masks, create and learn dances and learn the poetry to accompany our show. Please if you have wool, fur, feathers etc you can spare we would be very grateful to have them at school to adorn our masks.
So far we have not had too many away sick. I hope we manage to dodge the flu.
Keep warm, well and dry, have a great week,
God Bless Kathleen Bradley

Welcome to week 2
I do hope you're all fit and well. After explaining the importance of hand washing and keeping healthy on Monday last week I awoke to a horrible Tuesday morning with a really nasty flu which kept me in bed (or the bathroom) for most of the rest of the week. Not pleasant so I hope you all manage to avoid the dreaded lurgy.
This week we are being visited by ERO and I imagine if are students are their usual selves they will impress our visitors.
We are beginning to discuss and write persuasively. Please ask your children if you can read their work. It really is excellent and you may be quite surprised at the level of maturity and the enormous progress they have made this year.
In RE we are discussing the immortality of the soul and the interconnectiveness of the emotional, intellectual and physical aspects of our being. Once again keep I touch with what's happening in RE by asking your children what's going on at school.
God Bless,
Kathleen Bradley

Welcome back for term 3
Dear Parents and St Mary 's family
I hope you all had a restful break from the school routine. At least the shortest day is past now and hopefully we can look forward to lots of warm sunny days ahead.
There is another busy term ahead. We begin RE with the Communion of Saints strand where we talk about the most enduring aspect of what makes us human- our souls.
We haven't quite completed last term's Inquiry topic on the Solar System but when we have we will begin a new physics unit- Pulleys and Levers.
As always, please ensure your child uses Mathletics at home. The assignments I've set are directly related to their individual learning intentions in Maths.
The Arts take a front row seat this term as we prepare in earnest for the Music Festival at the beginning of next term as well as we will be very busy creating dances and finishing our masks for the Carnival of the Animals spectacular.
The third term is an exciting one in English too for our special topic is Debating. Parents input is welcome as your child prepares for his/her moment on the podium.
If you have any concerns or problems please don't hesitate to call in to talk about things.
God bless,
Kathleen Bradley
