• Visit by Olympic Gold medal winner—Emily Craig

  Fri 27 Sep 2024

  We were delighted to welcome Emily Craig, one of GB’s Olympic gold medal rowers into our

  school today. Emily joined us in Assembly this morning and then kindly went to each class to

  let the children hold her gold medal and answer their questions. Our children were so excited

  to meet her and hear about her Olympics experience — they were all very inspired.

  A big thank you to Mrs Dowling who organised this visit for us.

   

  

• Year 1 Geography Field Trip

  Fri 27 Sep 2024

  In Year 1 we were Geographers this week on our first ever Geography field trip. We walked around our local area to identify physical and human features of the landscape. In the classroom, we have learned that Geography is all about "the connections between people and places" and we saw this for ourselves on our field trip around Crowborough!

  Year 3 have had lots of fun exploring colour mixing.  They made these fabulous colour wheels, learning which primary colours to use to make secondary colours, but also they also explored making different shades.

  

• 'Prayer Bear' Assembly

  Thu 19 Sep 2024

  On Wednesday we welcomed seven new members of our school community - the St. Mary's Prayer Bears! We have been speaking with the children about the importance of prayer time in our lives and how prayer can strengthen our relationship with God. 

   

  Prayer can take many forms including meditation, singing, dancing, reciting traditional prayers and spontaneous prayer throughout the day. Each class was presented with a St. Mary's prayer bear during our assembly. Our bears will help us to think about our spirituality and teach us about different forms of prayer. 

  

• Year 3 - Ukelele lessons

  Fri 13 Sep 2024

  Year 3 enjoyed their first ukulele lesson on Wednesday.  They sung some songs, thought about rhythm and beat and learnt about the parts of the instruments.  Then they sung 'The Cookie' song and learnt to strum in time.
