So proud of our School Council and choir today. They did sing their hearts out for the Elm Tree residents. All the way back to school all they asked was “Can we sing for more people and cheer them up?” Big voices, big hearts 🎵❤️ #compassion #ChristmasSeason

Wishing all of our St. Mary’s family a restful, Holy Christmas & a happy new year. Enjoy making memories & spending time with loved ones. We will see you all again safe and sound, ready for more exciting learning on Wed 5th Jan, usual time and place 🎅🏻😆❄️ Mrs Grange

Happy New Year to our phenomenal St. Mary’s family! A day later than it should be, but let’s take a moment or two this year to look after our mental health and wellbeing. It never has to be another task to do, just a minute or two can be enough. We’re always here for you all 🙂

Our Collective Worship today was all about sharing our gifts. We reflected on how gifts don’t always have to be wrapped at Christmas or birthdays, but can be something as simple as drawing a picture, sharing a story, anything to make someone smile. Mrs Grange #gratitude

Happy February! Here is the latest Action for Happiness wellbeing calendar. Remember it’s just as important to look after our minds as well as our bodies. I’d love to see what you all get up to 😁 #wellbeing #FriendlyFebruary Mrs Grange
