Easter bonnets and Easter eggs designed by our creative children were celebrated at this special Easter worship. Well done to everyone who took part in our competitions, especially our prize winners! The worship ended with a lively Easter parade around the school. We also took the chance to celebrate our children's amazing achievements this term as we awarded certificates for behaviour, progress in learning, values and attendance. Planned and organised by our amazing children's Faith Group, the school community joined together to raise money at our Easter Fayre. The money raised will be donated to the charities supported by the Bishop of Southwark's Lent Appeal - including projects in Zimbabwe, Palestine and London. The children in the Faith Group included many exciting activities that were enjoyed by everyone - a cake sale, Easter egg hunt, egg painting, hook an Easter duck and an egg and spoon obstacle race. Congratulations to all of the children from Year 5 and Year 6 who successfully completed Level 2 and Level 3 Bikeability training - promoting Road Safety and sustainable travel. Our School Council enjoyed learning about Democracy and History on a visit to Westminster.  Every class have enjoyed some wonderful cooking opportunities this year, linked to the Thematic Curriculum. Once again, St Mary's enjoyed a fabulous week enjoying and celebrating books and reading. Our focus this year was 'The Book that made you fall in love with Reading'. The highlight of the week was a visit from Author Josh Lacey - who signed copies of his books for the children as well as giving them tips on how to become an Author. Other events included a Teacher Swap as each class enjoyed books from a surprise visiting teacher! A Reading Banquet offered the children a captivating menu of books to enjoy. Finally, the week was rounded off in style with our ‘Dress Up Day’ and a well attended 'Parents' Reading Breakfast'. Congratulations to our Year 3 and Year 4 football stars, who took part in a tournament held at St Dunstan's pitches, playing matches against several other schools. All of the players performed really well and played with enthusiasm and respect. 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! |
