This week, our fantastic Year 5s completed their Music unit, “South and West Africa”.
Throughout the unit, the children explored music from South and West Africa and learned to sing the traditional song “Shosholoza.” They discovered the history behind the song and learned about the Xhosa language, developing their understanding of how music connects with culture and storytelling.
The children sang Shosholoza with confidence and accompanied their performance on glockenspiels, showing great rhythm, teamwork and musical focus.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support our children in their learning and love of music!

Year 5 scientists put their investigative skills to the test today as they explored different ways of separating materials!
Working in teams, the children investigated the most efficient methods for separating rice and water, sand and water, marbles and water, and salt and water. Using sieves, colanders, funnels and filter paper, they tested their ideas, observed the results and discussed which methods worked best and why.
We also discussed how salt and water couldn’t be separated using either of these three methods and what we would need to do in order to separate the salt from the water.
A fantastic hands-on science lesson full of teamwork, problem-solving and scientific thinking! 🌟🔬

🌟 Celebrating Our Young Speakers 🌟
We were absolutely delighted to receive letters from Adam Jogee for Newcastle-under-Lyme congratulating our Speech Fest finalists and winners following this year's competition. What an incredible honour for our children to have their hard work, courage and powerful speaking recognised in this way.
To receive personal praise from a Member of Parliament is a wonderful achievement and a testament to the confidence, passion and dedication our pupils demonstrated when sharing their speeches. Their voices were heard, valued and celebrated far beyond the walls of the competition itself.
We are so proud of all 14 finalists who represented St Mary's with such maturity, confidence and enthusiasm. You are a credit to our school and an inspiration to others. 💙
Thank you once again to Adam Jogee for taking the time to recognise our pupils and celebrate the importance of young people finding and using their voice.
