Swintonbury 2023 - 13th July
We didn't let the changing weather stop us from having an AMAZING festival day. The children had so much fun at the festival - there were a range of stalls and games, a nail and tattoo bar, face painting, singing round the campfire, a chance to soak Mr Mason and even a silent disco. In the afternoon, we were joined on the field by parents and we danced along to a live band and had candy floss and popcorn. What an unforgettable day!

World Book Day 2023
This year, St. Mark's had a wonderful World Book Day with a heroes and villains theme. Staff and children came in some incredible costumes and everyone had fun showing them off on the catwalk during assembly. After discovering that someone had stolen Maleficent's wings, the children set about trying to decide who the culprit was and later on some of the suspected villains on trial! Thankfully, Maleficent was eventually reunited with her wings and everyone lived happily ever after!
The children were treated to a number of surprise guests throughout the day. After appearing on the school roof Spiderman amazed us all with some unbelievable acrobatics before visiting each class. Sleeping Beauty also paid everyone a visit and wowed us with her magic. Then two extremely tall and beautifully elegant butterfly fairies returned Maleficent's wings. A fantastic day was had by all. Take a look at some of the fun we got up to...
Swintonbury 2022
St. Mark's first ever summer festival was an absolute hit! The children had a fun-filled day in the sunshine. In the morning, the children enjoyed the stalls and games on the field, singing around the campfire, and having their nails and faces painted. After a lunchtime picnic, the whole school came together on the field to dance and sing the afternoon away to some live music acts and even had a surprise visit from the ice cream man!

Jubliee Celebrations
This week we have had lots of fun celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubliee:
Classes have made colourful Jubliee decorations to hang in their classrooms this week. The children have been given the opportunity to have their photograph taken on the St. Mark's throne wearing a golden crown and were then given a commemorative keyring to take home.
On Thursday, each year group were asked to come in dressed in the fashion of different decades in honour of each decade the Queen has reigned our country. After a song-filled celebration assembly, the children enjoyed a 'Jubliee Tea Party' for their dinner.
On Friday, children were asked to dress in red white and blue and bring in their own homemade crowns. Parents were invited onto the school field to watch the children parade in their crowns.
A fantastic week has been had by all!
