Girls Team Football Match - St Mary's versus Henry Fermor
Fri 13 Dec 2024The Y5/6 girls hosted their first match in the Crowborough Schools football league and welcomed Sir Henry Fermor to 'The St. Mary's Arena.' The sun was setting and the crowd was plentiful and the girls started very confidently. We soon opened up a 3-goal lead and things were looking bright. Fermor never gave up though and pulled a couple of goals back before we scored two more excellent goals.
A fantastic team performance, with such progression from the Wadhurst tournament, capped off with 2 goals each for Lucy and Molly and one for Isabel. Well done to the whole team.

Bread - Year 3
Fri 13 Dec 2024This week, Year 3 have designed and then made their own bread. They had to read and follow the instructions carefully, and weigh the ingredients accurately. They had lots of fun selecting and adding their own ingredients, and then the most exciting part - tasting it! Many thanks to Mrs. Brand and Ms. Hopley who helped us in the morning, and for our wonderful cooks for helping us use the ovens. I hope some of the bread made it home so that you got to taste some too!

Doubles Day
Fri 06 Dec 2024Today was DOUBLES day! The children enjoyed the opportunity to log in to TTRS to practise their doubling (and other) times table skills!
If your child is finding learning multiplication and division facts tricky then 5 minutes every day is a great way to build up their knowledge and confidence, just like we do when children start learning to read.
If you need a reminder of your child's log in details, then please get in touch with Miss Cook!

Science- Rocks
Thu 05 Dec 2024This week we have started our new science topic all about rocks. Instead of looking at grey, hard pebbles from the beach, we started thinking about the properties of rocks by classifying and grouping different sweets. We discovered they have lots of similar properties! The children used magnifying glasses to look up-close at the layers, the crystals and those that had lustre by letting some of the light through! The children discovered that some were friable which meant that they crumbled, whilst others left a streak when rubbed on a surface. We will continue our investigations into rocks by exploring the hardness of different rocks and aim to find out how fossils are formed...
