The children have been learning about refugees in assembly by looking at Amal and her journey from the Turkish/Syrian border. When asked how best we could welcome Amal if she were to come to our school we had various responses including "throw a party" and "make some bunting". So we decided to make some bunting for the hall and as you can see we had some beautiful designs! One message was particularly moving; "Amal you are wonderful and beautiful and may you live in peace." What better message could you give to a child seeking refuge? The bunting looks beautiful in the hall and reminds us all that we should be shining examples of welcome and love to anyone coming to our community of St. Mary's. Year 6 enjoyed a visit to the Migration Museum in Lewisham Shopping Centre, supporting their Thematic Curriculum learning about Caribbean Islands. 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. The children in Year 6 have been thinking about what Race Equality means to them. Listen to their reflective, powerful and thoughtful responses below, we are very proud of the next generation of leaders from St Mary's.
Listen to our Year 6 children advertising the amazing spy gadgets that they have created. But don't tell anyone - it's TOP SECRET!!!
Year 6 have been researching the many different Religions that are celebrated in our diverse borough of Lewisham. They have created these beautifully created and informative Powerpoint presentations to summarise what they have learned.
We are very excited to have received these wonderful photos of our Year 6 children learning at home. Please send us a photo to admin@st-marys.lewisham.sch.uk and we will publish your learning for everyone to enjoy!  Early one morning, Year 6 came into school and discovered someone had made a mess in their classroom; the person left a note, which had got wet. Therefore, they decided to become budding detectives. The used a variety of apparatus to separate the mixtures on the tables in order to clear them up. Once they had cleared up the mess, they use their skills in chromatography to find out what pen was used to write the note. |
