Remembrance in School

11th November 2020 By lynnmilburn

At St Mary’s today we all observed a two-minute silence at 11am to remember the people who have died in wars.


Year 2 prepared extra special poppies and gathered outside their classroom to pray.

“I have a little poppy, As red as it can be, To show that I remember

Those who fought to make me free”

Year 2 – The Great Fire of London

10th March 2020 By lynnmilburn

Year 2 have been learning about the Great Fire of London in class.

They had a very special interactive lesson yesterday when the prayer room was transformed into a scene from the Great Fire of London. The children were transported back in time with lights, smell and scenery allowing them to immerse themselves in their diary entry about the Great Fire, just the way Samuel Pepys had written in his diary all those years ago.

Take a look at our Great Fire of London:

In 1666, a huge fire that started in a tiny bakery burned down most of London. The fire was so big that it was called the Great Fire of London.

We know what happened during the fire because people back then wrote about it in letters and newspapers  –  Samuel Pepys wrote about it in his diary.

World Book Day -Special Visitor

5th March 2020 By lynnmilburn

We have had a busy World Book day in school today with activities including art, writing, reading and drama.

There was a special whole school assembly his morning where we received a visit from local author Neil Sullivan, who read his new book to the children (this was particularly special as both of Neil’s granddaughters are pupils in our school)

To top our special assembly off Miss Hughes had organised a special play based on Neil’s previous book “The Little House that didn’t have a Home”  – all the teachers and teaching assistants have worked hard to re-create this special story for the children.

World Book Day

5th March 2020 By lynnmilburn

We have had a wonderful day in school today where the children were invited to come to school dressed as a word or a character. The costumes were fantastic and very creative.

School opened early at 8.30am so that parents/grandparents could come into school and share a moment reading before school.

Thank you for all your support:
