World Prayer Day 2025
Fri 07 Mar 2025The children were able to celebrate World Prayer Day with the help of Mrs Ludgate who shared different ways for us all to pray as well as emphazing the importance of prayer in our lives. A big thank you to Mrs Ludgate for sharing her ideas and activities with us - it was a very special event for us all.
If you would like to add a prayer to our prayer tree or post a prayer postcard then please come into our school foyer where you will find these special prayer areas.

World Book Day
Thu 06 Mar 2025Year 6 and Year 3 had a great morning buddying up. The two year groups joined in the sunshine to talk about the books and characters they like and listened to extracts from each other's books. Afterwards, we had some fun relay races in which the children had to work together to rearrange letters to form the answers to some book related questions - this was a great opportunity to share our knowledge of books and help support each other with our spelling!

Stone Soup
Fri 28 Feb 2025At the end of last term, Year 3 made their own delicious 'stone soup'.
In RE we are learning about the Eucharist. We read the story about a beggar who no one wants to help. He explains that he wants to have one last meal before he leaves, so he starts to make a soup. Everyone in the village ends up contributing an ingredient and before they know it they have created a delicious soup together and have a great time sharing in their joint creation.
Thank you to everyone who contributed an ingredient to our soup - we had a fabulous day peeling, chopping, slicing and dicing. We then put everything in the pot and when it was cooked and soft we put it in the blender to mix it all up!

Mon 24 Feb 2025A huge thankyou to Tom Woodgate and the team from T C Woodgate Tree Surgery for supporting St Marys Primary by setting up a secure shelter line for us in our forest school area. This will mean we will now be able to raise a waterproof shelter quickly and easily whenever we need to, keeping us cosy and dry on even the wettest of Forest School days!
