Black History

Throughout Black History Month, St Mary’s have been learning about influential Black men and women from throughout history. From activists to sports stars, we have created a whole school St Mary’s Newsround report to highlight the importance of equality in today’s society.

In tandem with their history unit, World War II, Year 6 have been learning about wartime songs in music! They have been exploring how music boosted morale and how songs from WWI and WWII can be compared and contrasted. Today, they performed The White Cliffs of Dover by Vera Lynn and sang it beautifully. We are so proud of them! 🏰🎖️📜🎶✨ #year6stm #musicstm #historystm See MoreSee Less

Year 2 have been learning about The Great Fire of London. After our fire demonstration, we thought we’d create a Newsround on what we’d learnt in our History unit. #year2stm #historystm #oracystm See MoreSee Less

Back in December, Year 2 used their oracy skills to act out scenes from Toby and The Great Fire of London. They worked in small groups to role play different events and discussed new vocabulary like chronological, ensuring the scenes were acted out in the correct order. #year2stm #historystm See MoreSee Less

Year 2 have had a very exciting afternoon! Our current history topic is The Great Fire of London and over the Christmas break the children were set a task to create their own Tudor houses.
Today we were lucky to have a very special visitor — Mr Lazenby a real firefighter! Mr Lazenby helped Mrs Holdway to put out the fire as we re-enacted how the fire spread from the bakery on Pudding Lane. It was great fun to watch and really helped bring our learning to life.
Afterwards the children enjoyed a question-and-answer session with Mr Lazenby where they learned more about his job and how firefighters keep us safe.
