A Typical Day at St Mary's CE Primary School
8.20am Welcome to Maths Club! All pupils from Years 2 through to Year 6 are welcome to join
Maths Club every morning. This offers 30 minutes a day of extra mathematics tuition,
which is invaluable for every young learner! On Friday there is a games session, and
throughout the week all pupils have the opportunity to develop and use skills of fluency, reasoning and problem solving. Please join us for some mathematics fun!!
8.45am Join us for some yummy toast! All pupils are invited into school for a slice of toast and
a drink. Help yourself! It is a great start to the day! (Our survey shows that chocolate is
the favourite spread for most of our pupils!)

getting settled with their lunch and finding a friend they want to eat and talk with.
We encourage a positive dining experience, with pleasant chatter and eating
together in peace.

pupils have the option of eating together, out on the field, picnic style.

options and choices, and we encourage pupils to eat (but we never make them eat!).

including swimming, sports, art, technology and music.
