KEYSTAGE 1 CONFEDERATION SPORTS

On Tuesday morning Mrs Wright held a mini KS1 Confederation Sports event with St Bartholomew’s School. Pupils from Year 1 and 2 ran relays, flat races and an obstacle race on the track. They also did target throwing and the famous 'Under Over'.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and St Marys won by 3 points! Thank you to all parents who helped and supported the children, especially Mrs Bennett who took charge of the scoring.

YEAR 6 – BIZFEST

Year 6 are hosting an exciting event on Monday 17^th July called Bizfest.  This event will involve a mini talent show, and it will have some pop-up stall including: henna, face-painting, hair braiding, BBQ and drinks such as smoothies.  If your child is taking part in the talent show you are welcome to visit St Mary’s to watch your child’s performance.  The talent show will begin at 2pm and last approximately one hour.  Once you have collected your child/children you can present your tickets at the BizFest entrance and enjoy your afternoon of fun at our stalls.  We look forward to seeing you there!
