What's been happening at St Meryl this week?

• Autumn Term Week 5

  Mon 27 Sep 2021

   A busy week at St Meryl! Yet more children in Year 1 sent to the Head Teacher to show their ever-improving handwriting and story writing skills. 

  Spiders have visited Nursery! Not only was art created of our Arachnid friends, but they also had time to make some edible ones! 

  Rocksteady kicked back in this week as well - with 2 drummers in one of the bands this year, we are going to be well and truly turned up to 11!

  Finally, Year 6 crept in with some suspense stories. Enough to send shivers down any spine!

   This week - a focus on the Makaton Champions. 

  Makaton Champs are 2 (or sometimes more) members of each class, who meet each week with Miss Wenzel to learn a new sign or two. During Friday Assemblies, they all stand up and teach the whole school their sign. This week, the sign was for "Thank you". 

  The Makaton Champs received their badges in assembly this week. Here, you see some of our youngest Makaton Champions. 

   Thanks to Miss Wenzel, for leading this wonderful group of children. We have big aspirations this year - maybe even singing a song in Harvest Assembly using Makaton!

  

• Autumn Term Week 3

  Fri 17 Sep 2021

   This week, pupils in Year 6 gave presentations for House Captains, which will be voted on later in the week. 

   It was our first Sharing Assembly! This week is was the turn of Early Years and Key Stage 1. Nursery sang to as all about the manners they have learnt this week, Reception showed off their PE skills, Year 1 showed yet more tremendous writing and Year 2 invited us to their bug hotels. 

   Friday also marked Jeans for Genes day. We raised £185.80 for this fantastic cause - to assist those who are living with genetic disorders, and to also raise awareness of the challenges that are faced. Thank you, St Meryl.

  

• Autum Term Week 2

  Fri 10 Sep 2021

   Week 2 saw the pupils back into the swing of things, and catching up on lost time. Some of us worked on our handwriting skills (which will be a focus for all of us over the next few weeks), and Mr D was even asked to come and see the progress that children had made. We welcomed back Coach George - and this year Nursery and Reception get to take part in PE sessions as well!

  The week ended with Year 6 giving presentations for Head Boy and Head Girl. 

  

• Autumn Term Week 1

  Fri 03 Sep 2021

   Historic times at St Meryl! After so much anticipation, and over 16 months between this time and the last, we all got to be together in the hall for our first assembly. Children settled in very quickly for the 2 days of the week that they were in for - and all teachers were so happy to see everyone. We also had a look at a new addition to out school - 178 solar panels that were put up over the summer holidays. Although we haven't quite figured out how to read them properly, we have learnt how they work, and the benefits to our school from them!
