This term children at St Mary’s will be celebrating diversity and exploring their own identities through the topic Cultures and Carnivals. They will use this Learning Journey as a theme to grow their knowledge in the core subjects, such as Maths and Writing, as well as the wider curriculum, such as Music, Art and Geography.

Learning Journeys at St Mary’s always launch with much enthusiasm and fanfare with a Stunning Start. This term the Stunning Start saw the children working together in their Houses to make musical instruments from recycled materials. Working in houses gives children of all ages an opportunity to learn together, be inspired by each other and to support each other. This term’s Stunning Start brought out their best team work, culminating in an amazing school orchestra.
