Just a few more snowmen from Year 4 and 6 ready for Thursday when we decorate our Christmas Tree. Every year, we come together and each class brings their decorations to the tree. This has become a wonderful tradition and we are looking forward to Thursday. #Christmascraft #snowmen #christmas #decorations #snowmen⛄

Some excellent team work at the Indoor Athletics held at Carnforth High. Our Year 1 and 2 children hadn't attended this event before so other was superb to see them taking the afternoon in their stride. #run #athletics #inspire #fun We were very impressed with the Carnforth High students supporting and leading the events. Well done Team St Mary's.
