St Mary's celebrated the Year of the Snake with wonderful support from our families from our Chinese community. A group of parents kindly prepared a wide range of delicious home-cooked Chinese dishes, which were enjoyed by all of the children (and staff!). The parents also led Chinese craft workshops as the children learned calligraphy, lantern making and paper design. Everyone in the school wore RED clothes as this is a lucky colour in China. Many thanks to Mr Scrivens who created a wonderful Chinese dragon. Every class took part in a Dragon Dance, the children loved learning a new dance technique! Congratulations to our amazing Sports Team, who travelled to Sydenham Secondary School to complete in a competition against schools from across Lewisham. The children performed with skill and teamwork at a range of fun activities! During the cold weather, our Young Leaders have been serving hot drinks in the playground at lunchtime. The children have enjoyed warming Hot Chocolate and Fruit Tea!
We are delighted to share our children's amazing Nativity performance of 'It's A Party'.
Our children were thrilled when Father Christmas took time out of his busy schedule to distribute Christmas Presents to every child at St Mary's! We were blessed to be joined at our annual Christmas lunch by elderly visitors from Bentley Court, Lloyd Court and the Glebe. The day started with a special performance of our wonderful Nativity show performed by our youngest children. Our visitors were guests of honour at our delicious Christmas lunch, before enjoying festive songs from our choir and refreshments in the Community Hub. Our talented choir performed at Lewisham Hospital and Lewisham Shopping Centre. They sung beautifully, bringing Christmas joy to our School Community. We enjoyed an amazing Christmas Fayre as all of the School community joined together for a wonderful event. Among the many activities were Santa’s grotto, Christmas raffle with 21 amazing prizes, food, drinks, live music, Choir performance, face painting, stalls and games. There were many outdoor games to enjoy including hook a duck, tombola, raffle, ring toss, balloon pop, coconut shy, football and tin can alley! Our Forest School was open for hot chocolate and marshmallows by the fire! There was so much to enjoy and we were delighted to have raised well over £2,000 for our School. All of the money raised will support the children in their learning. Thanks to all those that helped organise the event, especially to the Friends of St Mary’s. Congratulations to all of our children who practised hard, learnt their times table facts and took part in their class heats. 2 finalists from each class battled it out in front of the whole school to find our 2024 champions! The standard was incredibly high, with most of the finals going to tiebreakers as the excitement mounted. Our Eco Council (2 children from each class who were elected by their peers) have been busy visiting other schools and learning about ways to save energy and create a greener planet. |
