Yesterday, St Mary’s joined readers across the world for the Take 10 to Read GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ attempt! 🌍
Organised by the National Literacy Trust and the British Council, the challenge aimed to set a new record for the most people reading online in 12 hours as part of the National Year of Reading 2026.
Our children took ten minutes to read together and celebrate the joy of reading. What a wonderful opportunity to share our love of books while being part of something so exciting! ❤️
Fingers crossed for a new world record! 🤞🏆

✍️✨ Young Writers ✨✍️
We are so proud of Romy and Charlie in Year 4 who have joined the Spark Young Writers group at Newcastle-under-Lyme Library! 📚🌟
The group meets on Saturdays throughout the year so it is wonderful to see them showing such commitment to developing their writing beyond the classroom. Through workshops led by professional writers, they’ll have the chance to build their creativity, confidence and writing skills. 📝💭
What fantastic dedication! Well done, Romy and Charlie! 👏✨

🎭📚✨ National Poetry Day 2026 ✨📚🎭
This morning, we celebrated National Poetry Day with a fantastic whole-school assembly, and what a performance it was! 🌟
Each year group took to the stage to perform a poem they had been rehearsing during their Readers’ Theatre sessions. From wonderful expression and clear voices to brilliant actions and confident performances, our children absolutely brought the words to life! 🎤👏 Their fantastic oracy skills were on full display and we were so proud of every single performer. ❤️
Our poetry line-up was:
❤️✨ Year 1 – All of Me
🦉🐱 Year 2 – The Owl and the Pussycat
🌿🐞 Year 3 – Nature Trail
🐉✨ Year 4 – The Tale of Custard the Dragon
🎉🗣️ Year 5 – The Word Party
⚠️📜 Year 6 – A Cautionary Verse
A huge well done to all of our poetry superstars! 🌟 What a brilliant way to celebrate the joy of poetry, performance and spoken language across St Mary’s. 🎬🎭📖
