St. Mary’s CE Primary School, Albrighton

Think you know about staying safe online? Year 5 and 6s completed a unit for work before Christmas on e-safety.

Have you visited the e-safety page yet? There are lots of links to games and online activities to keep safe online.

Have a look at an e-safety film made by some Year 6s

We have created a display in the foyer aimed at getting feedback from all members of the school community, ie pupils, staff, governors & parents to help formulate key school documents and inspire us for the next decade.

We are looking for words and phrases that describe how we want the pupils and school to develop, ie what kind of people we want our children to grow into and what values they will hold.

Your suggestions will help us to shape the direction and ethos of our school for the future.
We are therefore encouraging parents, pupils and governors, to come into school over the next few weeks, write their thoughts on a sticky note provided and place the note on the display (you don’t have to give any personal details).
If you are unable to come into school then you can post your thoughts here and we will put them on the display for you.
We look forward to your contributions.

We have been approached by scholastic book clubs and would like to make you aware of a new and easy system to order books from the Scholastic Book Club. There is a super range of book s!. The school will also receive free books for the library with every order placed.

1) Click here (or click the logo) to visit the book club site

2) Select the books you would like to order and add them to your basket

3) Checkout and choose the ’school delivery’ option.

4) Your books will be sent to school for distribution.

These Y6s are pleased that their school wasn't closed!

Blog visitors have chosen the Spielberg classic ‘Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark’ for Filmclub on October 7th,

Please do bring your permission slips (and £1 to cover refreshments) to the office by Friday if you would like to see this film.

Because of the length of the film (and becuase of the slightly scary nature of some of the scenes), we have restricted access to Year 2s and above.

We have received lots of positive comments following the BBQ last Saturday. Do visit the Friends section of the Blog to read them.

Very many thanks to the Friends of St. Mary’s for working so hard to make this such a successful and enjoyable occasion.

Children in Year 1 and 2 worked with local artist Sarah Markoupolous to design and make this stunning mosaic which brightens up a wall near the school office.

Year 6 pupils worked in groups to produce maths trails for each class in the school. They researched the programme of study for each year group before devising a maths trail around the school.

Here’s a group helping a group of Year 4s through their trail. You can download a trail here.
