📚LKS2 – World Book Day 2026📚
Years 3 and 4 had a fantastic time celebrating world book day! We begun our day with a fantastic assembly listening to our teachers read some of the FREE books we can get with our tokens! We also enjoyed exploring the rich vocabulary we had all dressed as and their meanings. We even invented our own silly stories created with these words. Of course, we had the opportunity to talk about our favourite books and make lots of reccomendations!

🗣️✨ 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! 🌟

Yesterday, our fantastic Year 3s completed their Music unit, “Developing Singing Technique”, and what a journey it has been!
Throughout the unit, the children have been working hard to sing in time with others, developing their confidence and teamwork skills. They have also needed to recognise and use simple rhythmic notation to help them compose and perform their very own Viking song!
We are so proud of how they’ve grown as performers – showing great focus, enthusiasm and creativity. 🛡️🎵
Please take a moment to enjoy their wonderful singing and celebrate their achievements with us! 👏🎥
It was also lovely to see so many parents there to watch their children perform. Thank you for your continued support.
