🙏 Lent Stay and Pray 🙏
Thank you to Charlie and Leon in Year 5 who led us beautifully in our third Lenten Stay and Pray.
We reflected on the importance of showing love during Lent, using the example of Jesus.
Thank you to all children, staff and families who attended.

🗣️✨ Speak Like an Expert at St Mary’s! ✨🗣️
This term, our pupils took part in a ‘Speak Like an Expert’ challenge, developing their disciplinary oracy across the curriculum. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of talk, vocabulary and confidence shown by the children! 🤩
Each year group became experts in a different field:
🎨 Year 1 – Artists
🏅 Year 2 – Sportspeople
🙏 Year 3 – Theologians
🔬 Year 4 – Scientists
📜 Year 5 – Historians
➗ Year 6 – Mathematicians
Children practised the four strands of oracy:
🧠 Cognitive – organising and explaining ideas
🗣️ Linguistic – using ambitious, subject-specific vocabulary
👥 Social & Emotional – listening and responding respectfully
🎤 Physical – speaking clearly and confidently
The discussions, explanations and expert vocabulary we heard across the school were incredible. We are so proud of how confidently our pupils can now speak like experts! 🌟

✝️Mass at Holy Trinity✝️
Today, our Year 5 pupils attended Mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church Newcastle.
Father Paul shared a thoughtful homily with the children. He reminded us of the importance of not being jealous of others and how we can show peace in the world. He explained that when we live in this way, Jesus is always with us, guiding us and helping us to grow in faith.

Year 5 and Year 6 had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day 2026. The day began with exciting extracts from the World Book Day collection, followed by a live BBC lesson all about the joy of reading.
Before lunch, children explored the words they dressed up as, using dictionaries and thesauruses to find definitions, synonyms and antonyms.
In the afternoon, they took part in The Great Big World Book Day Footy and Booky Quiz 2026, shared their favourite books and discovered new stories.
To finish the day, children designed World Book Day tokens for a competition, created colourful bookmarks and received a book token to spend on a book of their choice.
It was a wonderful day celebrating stories, creativity and a love of reading! We can’t wait to see which of the stories you choose to spend your book token on! 📖✨

🎨🎨Our creative Year 5 children have been diving into the world of installation art in Art & Design!
They have been exploring how artists use space, scale and materials to create powerful installation pieces that convey ideas, transform spaces and shape the viewer’s experience. The children were fascinated to learn how art doesn’t just hang on a wall – it can completely change how we see and feel within a space.
As part of their learning, they studied the work of Cai Guo-Qiang, exploring how he uses unusual materials and dramatic scale to create impactful installations.
Inspired by his work, the children worked collaboratively in groups to design and create their own imaginative art installations.
The children finished the unit by creating an Oracy performance evaluating their work. 🎨🎨
