DT - Viking Shoes

21/3/2022

 
First, we learned how to thread cotton through the eye of the needle, then we learnt how to do a running stitch and back stitch.
We looked at some photographs of old Viking shoes and realised that the were hand made out of leather and stitched together. Leather was used because it was hard-wearing and flexible. We also noticed that some shoes had buttons to fasten or straps to hold them together.
We then took part in a challenge to try to make a shoe in an hour using only a jay cloth, thread and buttons. We could use a marker pen to draw a template and scissors to cut out if we wanted.
It was lots of fun and some of us found it very challenging. After the hour was up, we had to go outside and see if we could run up and down the playground without out shoes breaking.

They hoped for a peaceful end!

Viking Inspired Printing

23/2/2022

 
We found out about Urnes Viking Art and learned how to create a collagraph print. We used string, tissue paper and cardboard to create our own designs. It was a lot of fun!

Recycling eco-warriors!

23/12/2021

 
The children in Year 5 have chosen to promote recycling at St Mary's as their courageous advocacy project. They have ensured that each class have a recycling container and each week they collect all of the school's recycling and take it to the bins.

Walk with Amal

7/11/2021

 
Amal the giant walking puppet walked all the way from the Syrian/Turkish border across 8000km and 8 countries and finally arrived in the UK. Year 5 were on Deptford High Street to give her a very warm and special welcome along with lots of other children from Lewisham schools! As Lewisham's first School of Sanctuary St. Mary's had a very special part to play and accompanied Amal with giant bunting down the high street to Giffin Square where a huge poster was hanging which had been created by Years 5 and 6.  Ayana then gave Amal a giant Paddington sticker. Remember Paddington Bear was also a refugee like Amal!

​Year 5 also spoke with the Mayor of Lewisham Damian Egan and Councillor Kevin Bonavia who has visited our school before. We even featured on BBC news that night! Year 5 were a real credit to the school and lots of people complimented them on their brilliant behaviour and good manners during what was a very busy celebration.

It was an amazing day and we are grateful to our governors and parents who accompanied us on the trip!

Migration Museum

16/10/2021

 
Year 5 enjoyed a visit to the Migration Museum in Lewisham Shopping Centre, supporting their Thematic Curriculum learning about Caribbean Islands.

Year 5 have been busy sailing and soaring!

21/7/2021

 
Congratulations to our Year 5 pupils, who have demonstrated courage and determination to learn how to sail on the river Thames. Each child enjoyed two days of sailing in small boats, learning new skills and creating memories that will last a lifetime. They also enjoyed a trip to the London Eye and the Sealife Centre.

Year 5 enjoyed exploring healthy foods as they made these delicious fruit kebabs.

World War 2 Cookery

14/6/2021

 
Year 5 and Year 6 stepped back in time in their History lessons to learn about rationing during World War 2. They carefully planned some wartime recipes in their Design Technology lessons using only the ingredients that would have bene available 80 years ago. Finally, they spent a day using a range of cookery techniques to cook some delicious jam and biscuits.

Fire Safety

13/6/2021

 
Year 2 and Year 5 welcomed an important visitor to St Mary’s. London Fire Brigade taught the children about fire prevention and how to stay safe in the event of a fire.
