Welcome

Welcome to St. Mary's Primary School Website.

I am delighted to introduce you to our new informative website and to invite you to discover more about life in St. Mary's Primary School.

St Mary's is situated in the townland of Derrytrasna, on the southern shore of Lough Neagh.

In our school we are committed to providing an excellent all round education for every child entrusted to our care. We aim to provide a caring school environment where each individual child is encouraged to respect themselves, others in the school community and the wider community.

I hope you enjoy visiting the different pages of our website and seeing the opportunities available to our children.

Over the past few months, all classes have been developing their mathematical reasoning skills by justifying their thinking, explaining strategies, and solving problems. Primary 3 and 4 created maths games to explore number patterns, operations, and problem-solving, while other classes engaged in mathematical games that promoted collaboration, strategic thinking, and clear communication in a supportive environment.
In early November, the children began the Edina Trust Bulb Project. They planted daffodil, crocus, and mystery bulbs, and recorded daily weather conditions and temperatures, uploading their data regularly. When their daffodils flowered, they measured and recorded the height of the blooms.
Primary Five continued their outdoor learning with a dice investigation, collecting data and drawing histograms to represent their results.
Primary Five pupils engaged in outdoor learning this week, with a particular focus on identifying right angles and perpendicular lines.
Primary 5 enjoyed the sunshine in the eco garden today, sketching daffodils they grew from bulbs for the Edina Trust project.
🍟 🤤 A Special Treat for Our Primary 7s! Today our Primary 7 children were treated to a delicious chippy to celebrate their Confirmation—and it was smiles all round! A heartfelt thank you to Ciara Scullion for her generosity in kindly covering the cost of this special treat. 👏
