We enjoyed playing in the snow on the field last Friday!



 Today is the start of our annual Creative Arts Week. Each class is following a different theme,
ranging from Under the Sea to Alice in Wonderland! There will be all sorts of creative activities for the children to enjoy each day.
Look out for lots of photos on the website after half term!

   

Rev’d Bill will be leading our special ‘Candlemas’ service tomorrow, including Year 4 helpers.

 Children will be bringing home a special tealight candle.

We would love any photos of the children lighting the candles at home for us to display

in the entrance hall. Please email them to:

office@stmarysacademystotfold.co.uk

 

Our Year 4 children and parents are invited to a Rock UK Information Meeting

at 6.30pm this Wednesday.

 

On Friday we are sending a KS1 & KS2 team to compete in a gymnastics event,

organised by the Redborne Sports Partnership. We look forward to hearing how they get on!

 

Half Term is next week - Monday 11th to Friday 15th February

During Half Term our choir will be performing at the Mayor’s Civic Service on Sunday 17th February.

 

 Please can we remind you that children should not be playing football or going onto the slope area of the playground before and after school. Thank you.
