A Message from Mr Morton

The emergence of spring at Buckland St Mary C of E Primary School has brought with it the spirit of giving. As a school we have opened our hearts and our pockets to support charities, both local and global. Thank you for all of your support with our fundraising efforts. It has once again demonstrated that our small school can make a big impact in the world. Spring has also marked the return of better weather too. It is lovely to hear the children engaged in outdoor activities linked to their classroom learning with such excitement. We welcome the opportunity to bring our learning to life as the weather allows us to maximise our fantastic surroundings. As you will be blissfully aware, we have battled with Covid 19 this half term as it swept through our school again! Thank you all so much for your support, patience and understanding as we have moved heaven and earth to keep our school open and to keep our children educated. We hope that as we glide into the Easter break that you will all now be able to rest and recharge ready for the summer term. I wish you all a safe and restful end to the term and we look forward to inviting you in more to share all of our learning as the summer term unfolds.Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

What a fun filled half term it has been here at Buckland St Mary C of E Primary School. As I walk around the classes each morning I am always energised by the marvellous activities and enthusiasm that permeates out of every classroom. The children are always so keen to share all of the amazing activities they are working on and the great learning they are engaged in. Ash class have taught me lots of new things about growing things from seeds, Oak class have blown me away with their technical understanding of the water cycle and river systems and Beech class have wow’d me with their geographical understanding of Costa Rica and how to dissect a plant into its component parts! It makes me wish that I was still a school child (feel free to add in a sarcastic comment under your breath here!). Our wear it wild day was a success, raising over £70 for the WWF. Thank you to Max and the whole school council for making this event possible. You all looked amazing in your animal costumes! Our children really do shine their light brightly over our community and the wider world around us. Have a well deserved and restful break and we look forward to welcoming you all back after the half term break.  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
School Closure Friday 18th February due to adverse weather conditions Posted on: 18/02/2022

School Closure Friday 18th February due to adverse weather conditions

School Closure due to the Potential Impact of Extreme Weather   Dear parents and carers,    School and Nursery will be closed tomorrow, Friday 18th February 2022, for all children.    Although we would like to be open and we are mindful of the impact that school closures have on young people and parents, Somerset County Council has issued a ‘do not travel’ warning for tomorrow morning. All education leaders across the county have received an email this afternoon to advise that all schools, early years settings and colleges should close for the day due to the potential impacts of Storm Eunice.   Remote education will be available through the normal routes.   Please be cautious tomorrow and we wish you a restful half-term break.    Yours sincerely    S Morton Head of SchoolCategories: 1 CategorySchool News

A very warm welcome back to you all. I hope that you had a fabulous, festive and fun filled two weeks away from school. I know that I do not need to be anywhere near a mince pie again until at least November! We are grateful that term has started a smoothly as could be expected in such turbulent times. The children have settled back into routine like clockwork and this has helped us to maintain a calm and positive environment as we start the term. As I do my daily visit to all of the classes, it is fabulous to see all of the children engaged in their learning and sharing their own understanding of the world around them.   There are many exciting experiences planned for the children to get involved in over the coming term and we can’t wait to share all of our learning with you.   We currently have a vacancy on our Teaching and Learning Committee (Governing body equivalent) and we would love to have parental representation. It’s not as onerous as it may sound! The committee meets 4 times a year for an hour to discuss the schools progress and to help challenge and steer the wider development of our children’s education. If you are interested then please fill out an expression of interest form (available from the school office) Having a parental voice on our committee is an invaluable part of the team as it give us the parents perspective. I hope to see you at our next meeting!!!  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

Another great month here at Buckland St Mary C of E Primary School. Our discovery work is well underway in the classes and the children are becoming experts in a variety of subjects! Please take the time to look at their curriculum maps and knowledge organisers that the class teachers shared with you at the start of the term. They are an excellent way to keep in touch with the learning focus that your children are engaged with and also an excellent way of quizzing the children about their learning and what they have remembered so far...We hope that this will save you from the usual answer of “Nothing!” to the question of “What did you do at school today?”. Please let us know if they are useful and watch this space as they become part of our everyday practices in school as a tool to help the children grow as confident learners.Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
