Dear Parents and Carers

iRock rocks at St Mary’s

It was the first week of iRock this Thursday and every child taking part thought it was amazing! We had singers, guitarists, drummers and keyboard stars. We have decided to take the musical theme to our Friday Celebration Assembly. We all sang Count on Me by Bruno Mars today. Each week, the children will put their favourite songs into a raffle and we will choose one lucky winner. The songs will be upbeat and positive to give us a good Friday feeling.

We have four bands currently. If you would like to take part, please let us know and we can speak to iRock.

VE Day Celebration

Please join us from 12 noon on Friday 9 May 2025, for a VE day celebration. There will be a picnic lunch – please bring your sandwiches, picnic blanket and chairs. There will be prizes for the best dressed children and adults. We will have games, a raffle, a tombola, cakes, music and songs. Please support your child and the school and celebrate like they would have in 1945. All welcome.

Year 2 Literacy Launch

Yes, Year 2 launched into space this week with their new book, Man on the Moon (a day in the life of Bob) by Simon Bartram. They had some very special visitors, all the way from… yes, you guessed it… the moon! I wonder what will happen next week in the story!

A shout out

Thank you to the parents that have donated prizes for our raffle. The PTA still need tombola prizes. Please check your cupboards for an unused Christmas gift or when you are shopping at the weekend, if you can afford to slip something extra in your basket, we would be very grateful.

Here comes the sun

The weather is set to be very sunny next week. Please ensure your child has a water bottle, sun hat and sun cream in preparation for this.

Attendance

Acorn class and Y1 were our winners this week with 100%. We were only in for 3 days this week so we were expecting this to be everyone. If your child is in Year 6, this is a very important time, and the children need to be here every day and on time so that they can do their very best before their final assessments. If you are having difficulties with this, please get in touch so we can work together to sort this out.

Class with overall best attendance	EYFS and Year 1 – 100%
Overall school attendance	96.43%
Unauthorised attendance	2.14%

Have a lovely weekend and we look forward to welcoming you back on Monday.

Best wishes
