Dear Parents and Friends of St Mary’s,

What a wonderful week at St Mary’s with our Clean up St Mary’s Day and our Grandparents and Special person morning, making it a very busy and exciting week.

Although not present at both due to COVID, I was in constant contact with the staff as our St Mary’s school community came together for these two special occasions. The feedback was incredibly positive as the children worked diligently to prepare garden beds, sweep, weed, and generally tidy up our grounds to welcome all our visitors into our beautiful school.

I would like to thank all staff for their creativity and flexibility during these times when COVID and influenza are a prominent part of our day to day interactions. Please continue to RAT test and keep children at home if they exhibit flu-like symptoms; they will not learn if they feel unwell and require rest to overcome lurgies.

With three weeks to go until the end of Term Two, staff are busily completing assessments and writing reports. We look forward to reporting on students' successes in all curriculum areas now that we have returned to normality with our school routines and face to face learning.

Stay safe and warm.

Kind Regards,

Maria
