Comenius

St Mary's has been linked with other schools in Europe for the last 3 years.

We now have 3 new partner schools in Italy, Germany and Spain.

Each year there is a different focus where we share our local interests and cultures.
This year the theme is artists.

St Mary's have chosen Ivan Lindsay, who is a local artist based at Tynemouth.

Nature Trail

We are very lucky at St Mary's as we have nice school fields to play in, but these are always really muddy in the Winter. During half term a Nature Trail has been built on some of the area so that the children can enjoy more space and have plenty of excercise while having fun at the same time.


Monkey swinging!

Dear parents and Children

We thank you for all the shoes we collected for the Blue Peter Appeal. We collected an astonishing amount of shoes, around about 250 pairs. Last friday we loaded them all in to Miss Hunt's And Mr Mc Carthy's Cars and took them to the collection point at Clarks shoes in the Metrocentre .As you know we are sending them to Malawi to exchange for money and equipment for the children’s corners in Malawi. Blue Peter gives many thanks to those who brought shoes in to our school to help the Aids Orphans in Malawi. But we don’t stop here! We stop collecting the shoes on the Friday the 15th.

Many Thanks

The Make Poverty History team Fraser,Matthew and Nicholas.

A special well done to Fraser for organising the collection at school! Also thanks to Anna and Kate who helped carry all the shoes to the Metrocentre.

Reception 2006

After settling in well, the children have experienced many opportunities over the year.

One of our most successful ventures has been the Buddy System. The Y5 children tried very hard to welcome your children into school. We hope they remain firm friends next year and who knows after that.

We enjoyed performing our Nativity Tableaux live at the Metro Centre. It was a daunting task in front of such a vast audience, but they rose to the occasion and I was very proud of the children!
