The children of year 4 will look at trade, transport and domestic life in the Viking era. Using replicas of Viking era objects from the museum’s collection, pupils will discuss the significance that each item would have to villagers at the time.Pupils will learn how objects in museum collections can tell us about the past, and develop empathy with people from the past.

Dear Parents/Carers,

As part of our Victorian Britain unit in History, the children in Y5 are learning about children’s lives and how they were improved due to the laws which were introduced. We are paying particular attention to the Miners Act as our Local History study and what positive impact this had for the children. To develop our understanding and allow the children to become more aware of the conditions they faced, we will be visiting the National Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield on Friday 27th January 2023.

Thursday 3rd of November St Marys will be hosting a school disco for years 3-6. £3.00 per child.

St Mary’s is taking part in #HelloYellow on 10 October 2022 this World Mental Health Day.
The number of young people in need of mental health support is growing faster than ever – with a record breaking 420,000 young people being treated for mental health problems every month. Most young people aren’t getting the help they need, and this can’t go on.
That’s why this year #HelloYellow is more important than ever. We need to make sure young people know that how they feel matters and they deserve to feel supported. We couldn’t not get involved.
We’ll be joining thousands of other schools by wearing yellow to show young people that how they feel matters, as well as raising money for YoungMinds. To take part, students can wear yellow to school on 10 October.
We’re confident that taking part in #HelloYellow will show our young people that they’re not alone with their mental health. Together, we can create a brighter future for children and young people.
