Galanos House Art Competition

Celebrating Art in Care was the theme for the Galanos House Care Home Open Day. As it was Armed Forces Day on Saturday 29th June 2019, Galanos House challenged groups in the Southam community to create a piece of Art celebrating the theme of Armed Forces/Veterans Day. We relish a challenge here at St Mary’s, so each class busily prepared their competition entry. I am sure you will agree that they are wonderful! The judging has now taken place and I can reveal that 3 of the entries were placed 3rd, 4th and 6th, with the fourth receiving a ‘Highly Commended’ – well done to one and all!

Confirmation 20th June 2019

As the sun shone on the evening of Thursday 20th June, The Confirmandi and their families, together with the KS2 choir and parish community, gathered to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation. It was a wonderful occasion led by Bishop William Kenney, and Father Sebastian. Well done to the children for their excellent preparations and reverence! Please don’t forget to pop in and see the children’s work on display in the church hall

Carnival news and photos

The sun was shining as excited families arrived at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery for this year’s Southam Carnival. Thanks must go to a core group of parents who led the preparations in school for this year’s ‘Holland’ themed float, which looked fantastic. The children looked ‘blooming lovely’ in their tulip-themed hats!

The judges agreed- St Mary’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery were awarded 1st place for the third year running! 

A special mention goes to Mr Hayes for taking the wheel, and also to Mrs Robinson for preparing such delicious treats for all – a definite sense of team and community!

Gefeliciteerd allemaal!

Introducing Tiger, Ringo and Luna…

The Robin class has had a very exciting couple of weeks. Last week, after 28 days in the incubator, one of our duck eggs hatched! The children have named our ducklings Tiger, Ringo and Luna. They love watching them especially when the ducks go swimming! It is very funny when they splash us and dive!

Roll Back The Stone, the Easter Play

What a performance! Just before Easter, the children of the Kingfisher Class depicted the Easter Story with respect and reverence in their performance of ‘Roll Back The Stone.’ Their commitment, enthusiasm and talents really shone through with each and every child playing their part.  It was lovely to share this with the whole-school community . We are so proud of you all!

School welcomes Galanos House Choir

Earlier this week, we were delighted to welcome the Galanos House Choir into school.

There was much enthusiastic audience participation as we were taken back in time on a charming journey of musical nostalgia. The school community was treated to a plethora of renditions, including Edelweiss, Singing in the Rain, White Cliffs of Dover and Over the Rainbow, to name but a few. 

The final song, When You’re Smiling’ could not have summed up this event more beautifully, as children and adults alike, were all wearing a smile as we applauded our visitors. It was both joyous and emotive. Mrs Price commented that it truly was a fusing of generations.

We cannot wait to do it all again next year – a definite highlight of the Spring term!
