We are delighted to announce that the books have arrived for our last Young Writers writing competition, and Oliver from Year 7 has had his story published. The writing competitions are quite challenging. The theme of the story is set by the competition organisers and entrants are limited to only 100 words to make their story work. Not many students of his age are published authors!
A small team of Year 7’s took on a series of mathematical challenges against 36 other schools in Hertfordshire. The team got a respectable score of 156 points placing them in 19th place. There were some exceptionally demanding tasks and activities in the challenge, so all students can take considerable pride in the way they approached the afternoon.
This term our Year 7 artists have been exploring the formal elements in Art, mastering their drawing and painting skills. By observing the work of Leonardo Da Vinci, Claude Monet, and Henri Matisse to inspire their pencil, ink and paint techniques further. This is Michaela’s art project so far.

Well done to the girls Y7 football team who finished 3rd in the District 6-A-Side football tournament this week.
The team were a credit to St Mary’s with some excellent performances from what was mainly a group of players who have never played a competitive match before. Outstanding effort and commitment by the students – only one goal was conceded during the whole tournament!!
Well done to the whole team: Michaela, Vienna, Kayla, Filomena, Itohan and Zeynep.
