Have Your Say! (New poll added - 29/04/12)
Breaking News (5 items - Updated 29/04/12 )
YOU ASK...... WE RESPOND.....
In our on-line poll earlier this year we asked you which country or culture you would like to know more about as part of our One World One People days. The overwhelming majority opted for JAPAN as a country of focus and so we are currently designing some workshops and activities to accompany our whole-school themed week. Depending on our outside helpers, our hope is that it will take place very soon.
To help with our planning for NEXT year, we asked you which subject you would like to see featured in a whole-school themed week of activity. This was how you responded:
History (18.8 %)
Other Countries in our world (3.1 %)
Our Local Area (3.1 %)
Maths (3.1 %)
Music (15.6 %)
Poetry (3.1 %)
Science (21.9 %)
Design Technology (31.3 %)
So……. Now you need to visit the new on-line poll above to decide what we should call our DESIGN TECHNOLOGY week of work. DESIGN TECHNOLOGY is such a huge subject; to help give our week some focus, we have come up with some possible titles. Choose the title YOU would like us to have and make your preferences known by casting a vote in our poll. Remember only one vote per IP address - so this is a family decision.
Lenten Alms Giving
This year we are once again supporting the work of the St Cuthbert’s Care and their 5p bus project.
Every Friday in Lent we will be collecting 5ps to fill our collection jar. Last year this proved to be a very fruitful activity for us all and a way to rid our purses of the fiddly 5p coins that collect in its corners.
Additionally this year we will be holding a day when good quality clothing can be donated to this project for re-sale on the bus to those who need it most. Lent is not only a time of giving but a time of cleansing and renewal so what better incentive to clear out your wardrobes than this worthy charity? For further information, visit their website.

Playtime Fun!
The children in Key Stage One are delighted to have their play equipment back and ready to enjoy every playtime the weather permits. A gentle reminder to all children to be aware of others when playing on the equipment, especially before and after school. We want everyone to enjoy this wonderful resource but we also want to keep you all safe!
Learning Beyond the School Gates
Our children have been enjoying many out of school experiences in recent months. We have had children taking part in rugby tournaments, netball “High Fives” tournaments, The North Tyneside Dance Festival, ICT projects at the CLC and a visit to Bowes Museum for our Reception class children. These experiences are always fun and show our children that learning takes place beyond the classroom. It also gives them the opportunity to work co-operatively and to mix with children from other schools in North Tyneside. We are so proud of the fact that wherever St Mary’s children go they are remembered for their good manners and excellent behaviour, we couldn’t ask for better envoys.
Spiritual Arts
We have some very talented artists and poets here at St Mary's and what's more we have some very deep and spiritual thinkers!

Even if you were not a winner this time, rest assured that every piece of art and poetry was looked at and enjoyed by us all. Keep writing and painting!
