Friday 17 rd July 2015 Summer Term Issue 6 NEWSLETTER St Mary & St Pancras C. E. Primary School www.stmp.camden.sch.uk Dear Parents/Carers What a wonderful year we have had here at school! Thank you to all children, parents and staff for all of their hard work and invaluable contributions, all of which make St Mary & St Pancras so extra special. Sports Day was a great success so thank you to all of those involved. See the pictures in this edition. Speech Day was very emotional, sad and spectacular all at the same time! We heard of some wonderful memories from Year 6 and they performed fantastically with dance, brass band and steel pans. We are all looking forward to a fun-filled summer holiday, but unfortunately it means it s time for us to say goodbye to our fabulous Year 6 children. I m sure you will all join me in wishing them the best of luck in their new adventures. Their secondary schools are very lucky to be getting them! Have a great summer and see you back on 2 nd September 2015 E-SAFETY ALERT! This summer make sure you are aware of what your child is doing online. There is lots that you can do together to learn about how to use the Internet safely. Just visit www.thinkyouknow.co.uk

Last Wednesday, Year 6 dazzled a school audience in the afternoon and then their parents, carers and visitors in the evening with their version of Shake, Ripple and Roll. What a hit! We knew we had a confident and talented bunch, but they really did us proud with their excellent singing, acting and dancing. A big thank you to Mrs Waller Box (Musical Director), Mrs Child and Miss Gomez for the stunning set and props and all the other adults who were involved in the run up to the performances.
YEARS 1 & 2. Year 1 had a fun time at their tea party on Tuesday afternoon. We spent the day baking, making decorations and finally serving our parents when the tea party began. It was a great way to celebrate the end of Year 1. Year 1 & 2 trip to Granary Square Last Friday Year 1 and 2 enjoyed their end of year trip to the Fountains at Granary Square. The children enjoyed playing in the water and having an ice cream. They also enjoyed getting their teachers very wet!
St Mary St Pancras celebrated Sports Day on Thursday 9th July. It was a wonderful sunny day and the children had the opportunity to participate in many activities and even made a smoothie on a special blender bike. Thank you to the staff for their support in running the day, the parents for cheering along and most importantly the children for their energy and enthusiasm! A survey is on the school website asking for feedback on Sports Day, can staff and students please complete as well as any parents who attended. Congratulations St. George!
