Our Year 2 leavers who moved on to The Batt in September, returned to St Mary’s last Friday for a special leavers’ jamboree held in the playground. Due to the current pandemic, the children had not been able to come together before the summer holidays to celebrate their special time at St Mary’s. It was wonderful to welcome the children back, dressed in their party best, for an afternoon full of music, party activities and fun. A special thank you to Mr Wakefield who captured the celebrations with a series of wonderful photographs that were later shared with parents.
As part of the party, the children took part in a ‘hook the duck’ to win a biscuit and a spin the wheel to win an ice cream or lolly – everybody won! The children also received their unique St Mary’s autograph book and pen. Finally, each child decorated their own pebble with their name and, after a final prayer, these were placed under our flourishing tree so that we can remember them in times to come.
