Year 3 Maths this week
Fri 04 Oct 2024Year 3 have been looking at the composition of 100. They have been counting forwards and backwards in 10s, 20s, 25s and 50s - we are getting quicker and more confident at this but find it a little tricky to jump backwards! In our books we have been using part whole models and bar models to help us write calculations and we had a great time outside drawing our own number lines and jumping along them with our friends.

Farewell Mrs Thorpe
Fri 04 Oct 2024It is with great sadness that that we said farewell to Mrs Thorpe this week. Mrs Thorpe worked at St Mary’s for over sixteen years and was a valued member of our support staff as well as our resident artist throughout this time.
As such Mrs Thorpe will be very much missed at St Mary’s and we are all very grateful for her hard work and enthusiasm for
everything she has done for our school and the community throughout her time with us.
I am sure, therefore, that you will join me in wishing Mrs Thorpe well as she leaves to spend more time continuing to focus on her work as a artist and potter.
Thank you, Mrs Thorpe for all your hard work and support for our children, as well as your dedicated service to our school and
community. We will miss you!

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 2024In 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!
