🎭📚✨ 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. 🎬🎭📖

🙏💙 Walking with Mary – Year 5 Retreat 💙🙏
Our Year 5 children had a wonderful opportunity to join together with other Year 5 pupils to take part in a special Catholic retreat, ‘Walking with Mary’.
Throughout the retreat, the children spent time reflecting, praying and learning more about Mary’s faith and her trust in God. It was a lovely opportunity to come together with children from other schools, share their faith and think about how Mary can inspire us to say ‘yes’ to God in our own lives.
A beautiful day of faith, friendship and reflection for our Year 5 children. 🙏🌹💙

On Thursday, our Year 5/6 football team had a fantastic time competing against other local schools at Newcastle College! ⚽️💙
We couldn’t be prouder of the team. They showed brilliant determination, teamwork and sportsmanship throughout every single match.
Through wins, draws and losses, they walked off the pitch with smiles on their faces and continued to support and encourage one another. 🌟
An amazing effort from the whole team. You represented St Mary’s brilliantly! 👏⚽️ We are so proud of you!

🌟 Year 5 Maths in action!🌟
The children have settled into Year 5 brilliantly and have fully immersed themselves in their Maths learning this week! 🧮✨
We have begun our first Maths unit, Place Value, and have already been very busy exploring Roman numerals, reading and understanding numbers up to 100,000 and partitioning numbers in different ways.
It has been fantastic to see the children tackling their learning with such enthusiasm and showing us just how ready they are for the challenges of Year 5. Keep up the brilliant work, Year 5! 💫📚

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!
