What a team we have supporting our school. Today, our PTA organised and put on a superb Easter Fete. 

There were games- hook the duck, guess the name, masses of raffle prizes to be won, tombola, tattoo stall and refreshments!  To make it a huge success they added a huge crowd of parents and carers … and wow! 

£241.80 has been raised- we are quite literally blown away with their commitment, ideas, and your support. 
Thank you ❤️👏❤️👏❤️

Welcome to our KS2 Easter Service and Celebration atSt Mark's, Herston. 
Today’s service was opened up by Rev Dave Richards, followed by a Poem titled ‘signs of Spring’, then our Seagull class sang ‘Sing Hosanna’ and ‘Shout Hooray!  We had the most amazing readers who read The Easter Story, then our fabulous Skylarks sang ‘He’s got the whole world in his hands’ and finally our Ospreys read ‘Colours of the Day’ 
A huge thank you to all the parents and families that came along to the church and our celebration… it makes it so special! Have a ’eggcellent  Easter 🐣

How amazing it is to see some of our pupils in the Purbeck Youth Choir in not one but two concerts! 
They have been entertaining the audience at the Rotary Young Musicians Competition,taking part in the Swanage Town Carol Service and finally , singing in workshops with leading church music directors from Lichfield and Guildford Cathedral.

Today, we welcomed Open the Book and Bible storytelling into our assembly after a long period of absence over Covid times. It was such a joy to see all our pupils participate with the telling of the story or asking questions from the audience. 

Open the Book (OtB) gives primary school children an opportunity to hear key Bible stories told by a team of Christians from local churches, who present the stories during assemblies or acts of collective worship.

There is something about this eager and resilient flower, the daffodil, that makes us want to thrive no matter the challenges we’re facing in life. … the perfect flower to have in our flower beds. 🌼

We love our Monday assemblies… there is participation, music and a song! Thank you Rev’d David and Carol. 

Miss Le Roux and our Year 5 pupils spent a few hours in town to do a traffic survey  and take photos of places of interests to support their latest topic. 
Thankfully, the rain held off and everyone had a good time.

Another ‘roarsome’ week at St Marks! 😀🦖 Ducklings created this this afternoon. None of us could run at 17 mph!  Ours was a juvenile as the adult would have been 12m long!

Our fantastic Year 4 pupils, put on amazing assembly to all their parents and family’s, proudly showing their amazing water cycle projects! Thank you to everyone who attended.
