formed on Tuesday, 8th December. There will be two

shows on the day, at 10 am and 2 pm. All family and

friends are most welcome. Rehearsals begin after half

Get Running

For the last two years, a team of St. Mary’s parents,

friends and governors have ran the Liverpool Half-

Marathon for Nugent Care. Now is the time to commit to

the 2016 effort! The event will take place on Sunday,

13th March. Interested in joining the team? Pass your

name to Mrs. Marshall or Mr. Nolan and an information

pack will be sent out to you in November. All joggers,

plodders and athletes welcome. If you feel like a warm

up, there is a great event taking place on 13th December

starting in New Brighton. The 6k run/walk is in aid of the

Dave Phillips Memorial Fund—following the recent tragic

death of the Merseyside Police Officer. More details

available at: www.davephillipsmemorialrun.com.

So get those running shoes on and help some great local

charities.

The children will do their annual “Fun Run”

on Friday, 18th March 2016.

Year 6 Swimming Stars

Well done to our Year 6 swimmers who completed their course this week. I would like to share

a message with you that I received this week from Jenny (swimming coach) “The

children that have been swimming from your school have been fantastic and a pleas-

ure to teach. I hope they have enjoyed it as much as Emma and I have”.

We are proud of you Year 6.

Guide Dogs Appeal

This week in school we have supported the

charity Guide Dogs UK. As well as learning

a great deal about blindness and the work

of guide dogs, we have also raised money

for a super charity. Thank you to Miss

Sarath and Mr. Parkin for coming into

school to talk to our children.

Well done Harriet for inspiring us on this

learning journey.
