Reception children went on a bear hunt in the Secret Hills at the Shropshire Hills Discovery C
entre. Armed with their favourite teddies, they taught their furry friends how to climb trees and make mud pies for a special treat. They all settled down around a campfire to listen to the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears before sampling porridge for themselves – it tasted just right – and then tucking into a picnic lunch.
Year 5 were lucky enough to visit Lilleshall Sports Centre during the Team GB Archery Selection week for the upcoming Olympics. The children watched the arc
hers as they battled for their places and even managed to get some of the contender’s autographs. They also tried out table tennis and basketball before heading back to school.
Mr Kibaba, the Deputy Headteac
her from our partnership school Nasioya Primary visited St Mary’s all the way from Kenya this April 2012. We hope he enjoyed his visit and that he has many fond memories of the UK to take back with him.
Mr Rowe is leaving St Mary’s today so the children have worked very hard to make him leaving gifts, often working in secret so as not to ruin the surprise. They presented their gifts in a farewell assembly, with something different from each year group. Some children had written poems or drawn 
pictures and Year 6 did a pseudo Mastermind of Mr Rowe’s time here at St Mary’s with some very funny sketches that had everyone laughing, especially the man himself. The Choir sang an adapted version of Hi Ho Silver Lining accompanied by music played by the Ukulele Club and even the Keyboard club had prepared some music for the event. It was a lovely send off and we sincerely wish him all the best at his new school. We welcome our Acting Headteacher – Miss Wilde – in the interim while we wait for Mrs Skidmore to join us as our new Headteacher in September.
Year 5 completed their “Fight for your Rights” WWII topic with a VE Day Celebration. The day was dedicated to games and activities that children would have played sixty years ago and a special VE Day menus was designed by our terrific kitchen staff.

en of St 
Mary’s paid £1.50 to dress up in fancy dress to help raise funds for Sports Relief. They walked a mile around the village of Albrighton collecting donations from unsuspecting and somewhat bewildered locals. They managed to raise a fantastic £755.36 total. Well done!
Our Year 1 and Year 2 children have been learning about Megastructures as one of their topics this year and they recently visited two examples of unusual architecture: Blakesley Hall and the Gurudwara Temple. Each building was a lovely example of a unique type of architecture, one dating back to the Tudor times and the other was a modern Sikh Temple in Birmingham. The visits offered the children a unique opportunity to compare different building techniques from two very different cultures. They had a guided tour around each venue where children were given the opportunity to ask questions and explore.
Year 6 did some fantastic work on their WWII themed projects this year. Illustrated here, are examples of an allotment garden, a corner shop and an imaginative interpretation of the Ration book. 
Year 5 visited Singers Hill Synagogue when they were studying their Fight for your Rights W
WII topic. They were delighted by an incredible sight once inside, because the discreet building on a side road in Birmingham housed a magnificent interior reminiscent of the great Cathedrals found in Europe. The children learnt all about Judaism which led nicely into their next trip to watch the production of The Diary of Anne Frank at The Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton.
