Reception Graduation It was just fantastic to see our Reception children

graduate from the Early Years on Monday. They are

certainly ready for the next stage of their education.

The children sang songs and read a poem and were

then presented with their Graduation Certificate.

‘We are ready for Year 1.’ Jude

‘I’m sad to be leaving Reception and excited about Year 1.’ Pavlos

All Saints Taster Day: Y5 The children in Y5 enjoyed their

Secondary Taster day at All Saints this

week. ‘We did football, basketball and

an assault course. It was really fun, I did

something I’ve never done before and at

the end we all got an All Saints water

bottle.’ Oliver

Kew Gardens: Y1 The children in Y1 visited Kew Gardens on Monday to

learn more about plants. This links with the unit they

have been doing in Science.

‘I had so much fun at Kew gardens because I really enjoyed playing in the new children's playground, the

slide was good!’ Leon

‘My favourite place was in the shade under the Oak tree.’ Khalell

‘I loved the trampoline in the ground in the Adventure playground.’ Mrs Walsh

Award for Outstanding Service I am so proud to inform you that Mrs Maguire,

our Assistant Head and SENCO, was presented

with an award last night for Outstanding

Service to the Diocese.

Mrs Maguire has worked tirelessly for our

children since 1991. In recent years, she has

worked with our SEN children and families but

she has had a wide variety of roles in her time

at St Mary’s.

We value her so much and know that she is a

very deserving recipient.

Congratulations Mrs Maguire!

Green Stickers Congratulations to Y2 and Y6 for winning the

green sticker award this week. These classes will

have an extra playground session.

Well done!

Whole Foods Trip This week, we had our final trip as part of the

Food to Market project. The children travelled to

Whole Foods in Fulham to sell their chutney.

They did a super job and really learnt a lot from

this project. They even met Callum Best and the

Mayor of H&F!

‘We went to the whole foods market to sell

chutney and jam. We sold 11 products in total; 2

were jams and 9 were chutney’s.’ Galila in Y4

Author Visit: Dan Freedman The children in Y5&6 have been reading

‘Unstoppable’ in class. The author, Dan Freed-

man, took time out from his busy schedule yester-

day to talk to these two classes. The children

asked him some interesting questions; about this

book and also about being an author and his time

working with the English football team. ‘Y5&6

had a skype phone call with Dan Freedman (the

famous author of Unstoppable and the widely

popular Jamie Johnson series). We asked him

many questions and it was a really good experi-

ence.’ Edward in Y6

Bute House Concert: Y3&4 The children in Y3&4 performed at the

Hammersmith Town Hall yesterday along with

other schools. What a great opportunity for our

children.

‘The songs were: This is me, Will you go, Just

like a Roman and In my life.’ Kamsi

Beauty and the Beast: Y5&6 What a performance our children gave on

Wednesday evening. We were so impressed with

their confidence and how well they took on their

characters. The audience was amazed by the array

of talent we have in our school.

Well done children on a fantastic performance!

‘It was really good; all the outfits and props, all

the singing and acting went really well. My

character was Lefay and I held Gaston’s (Isaiah’s)

gun. We had to do it twice, for the school at

1:30pm and at 6pm for our parents.’ Michael in

Y6

Y6 Leaver’s Assembly The Y6 children shared their memories of their

time at St Mary’s in our leaver’s assembly today. It

was very emotional; we laughed and cried. The

children sang beautifully and they also danced very

well. We are so impressed with the confidence and

articulate people they have become. It was

fantastic to see so many parents in attendance.

will take place on Friday 19th July at 9:10am. At

winners and we will farewell staff that are leaving

Legoland The children with 100% attendance and

punctuality had a fantastic time at Legoland on

Tuesday.

‘My favourite part was the scary house; the chairs

were moving and they were twisting around and

around. I had a really fun time.’ Chelsea in Y1

’I liked it when we got to steer a real steering

wheel in a boat. There was a yellow on, a red one

and a blue one. It was very fun.’ Arthur in Y1

‘Legoland was extremely fun. I especially enjoyed

the ride with water. I was so happy. It was the

best day of my life.’ Clarice in Y6

ing and eating and paddling.
