Year 2 Research L.S.Lowry

Fri 13 Sep 2019 Mrs Murphy

This half term our Year 2 class are looking at the famous Manchester artist L.S.Lowry. This week we researched facts all about the artist using the laptops to create our own fact files.

Congratulations to our Year 4 children on their Sacramental Celebration day. This morning in assembly they shared the good news of their sacramental journey and we all enjoyed a St Mary's tradition; Our Shared Table.

Impressive ICT in Year 1

Wed 11 Sep 2019 Miss Sackfield

Today, in year 1's ICT lesson, the children practiced logging on and logging off. All the children worked brilliantly taking turns, using the keyboard and the mouse to log onto the year 1 area. We talked about keeping our password safe and even made sure to whisper it in class! Well done year 1!

WOW Walk To School Initiative

Mon 09 Sep 2019 M Chadwick

Children in Year 1 to Year 6 enjoyed a Monday morning visit from Daniel O'Connell from the Living Streets organisation and spoke about the benefits of walking/cycling/scootering/taking the bus or even parking some distance and walking the rest of the way. The children were brilliant and spoke about saving the planet, reducing harmful petrol fumes around school, road traffic accidents, getting healthy, enjoying nature and most imprortantly spending an extra five or ten minutes chatting with parents/grandparents or helpers as they walked that small distance.

So the children in KS1 and KS2 will be tracking how they have arrived at school. We have set a challenge of at least twice a week, not taking the car (all the way to school) and they will receive badges created and designed by other children, based on famous inventions that changed the world.

For those wishing to have that extra five minute walk we have set the Park & Stride distance to the Aldi & Morrison car parks. There will be class competitions running and we know that some parents find the morning rush tricky with work and siblings at other schools but if you could help the children really achieve the twice a week goal it would be brilliant for the school and children and of course you.

Year 2 Dance

Mon 09 Sep 2019 Mrs Murphy

Year 2 had an excellent time in their first dance lesson of the year and learnt a whole dance in just one lesson! They covered disco moves to the song "I'm still standing", and many children joined in with the singing too. Well done dancers - keep it up!

Year 4 Dance

Mon 09 Sep 2019 S Sackfield

Year 4 enjoyed their first dance lesson today, choreographing a routine to Old Town Road. I was so impressed with their moves... And singing (because of course they knew all the words!) A great introduction to dance for the term- keep it up year 4!

Just Dance with Year 1
