Photo diary – week six

For week six we are going to try something a bit different! Please join in by sending a clip of your child (or yourself if you are a member of staff or governor) dancing or singing to the Macarena, ideally a clip of them/you doing it four times so it goes the full circle! Don’t send films of the whole song! If sending clips of more than one person by email please send each clip in a different email. If sending by email, could also send another email with no attachments saying how many emails/clips you’ve sent we can check they have all been received.

Please contact your class rep for other options for sending through your files. We have a drop box account set up which is very simple to use. Cut off time is end of day on Friday 1st May.

Have fun … we’ll post the collective work product as soon as we can!

Southam & District Lions Poetry Competition winners 2020

St Mary’s was delighted to be invited to take part in the Southam & District Lions Poetry Competition again this year and thrilled to have so many winners! Pupils created thoughtful, compelling and humorous poetry on themes such as winter, chocolate and nature. We were joined for an assembly by representatives of Southam Lions, and treated to a live performance of the winning poems by the poets themselves. The school was also delighted to win an overall prize of £200 – hurrah!

Oxford German Olympiad 2020

The Language Department at Oxford University have once again invited 9-11 year olds to enter the Oxford German Olympiad Competition. This year the theme is Natur und Tecnik (Nature and Technology). Skylarks learned about Natur und Technik in the German-speaking world, how and where the two concepts overlap and what challenges they might pose to us in the 21st century. Then, pupils were invited to enter the competition, choosing from these three categories:

  • Design a robot and label its parts, and write what it can do.
  • Draw a picture of your home city, town or village from a Vogelperspektive – bird’s eye view. Label the things the bird is most interested in.
  • You’re going to set up a community on Mars – draw your spaceship and the fifteen most important things to take, and label them.

In the gallery below you can admire this year’s impressive entries, the results of the competition will be released in June….fingers crossed!
