Last Friday, our Early Year’s team opened up the doors to our wonderful mums to celebrate Mother’s Day with their children. The morning consisted of cake and coffee and those lucky enough to attend in the afternoon were treated with afternoon tea! Thank you for everyone that attended.
Recently, our wonderful Reading Council members held a book sale and with the money raised, they allocated a budget for each class to spend on their reading corners, in order to win ‘best reading corner.’
The competition was tough, with each class taking it very seriously! Reading Council arranged for a very special guest to come into school and judge the competition – our very own Mrs Ross! Together with Reading Council and School Council as well as some input from parents – the winning class was decided… Congratulations to Year 6 who created their reading corner based on a number of the children’s own designs.
Below is a picture of the winning book corner, along with some of the other classes efforts!
Sarah Baker, author of ‘The Catapult Kid’, visited several classes at SS Peter and Paul on Friday to read her book to the children. We all thoroughly enjoyed her visit.
Year 5 had the privilege of meeting author Alan Gibbons this week, as part of our celebrations around World Book Day. Alan has written over 60 books and won many prestigious awards such as the Blue Peter Award for ‘The Book I Couldn’t Put Down’, the Angus Book Award and the Stockport Book Award. He has also been shortlisted twice for the Carnegie Medal and his books have been published into dozens of languages.
Yesterday morning, some of our parents came in to join their children in making pancakes for Shrove Tuesday. Here are some pictures of them in action. Thank you to all the parents that joined us!
Children in Year 6 are collecting used batteries for recycling as one of their ideas to help our school be more environmentally friendly. There are collection buckets in each classroom. Hadi, in Year 6, made his own presentation to share in assembly to educate others about saving energy. Well done to him, please support their efforts by bringing old batteries in.
Pupils in Key Stage 2, who applied to help improve road safety and parking on our road, began their duties by letting all of our neighbours know what the plans are going to involve. Next half term they will be training with the Safe Outside Schools team before beginning patrols. Now the weather is improving, help us all stay safe by walking to school more often.

Our Christmas Fair raised £881.74! This is a truly amazing amount and a massive thanks goes out to all the parents, staff and children that donated to this event. A huge thank you also to everyone who was involved in organising this wonderful event.
Today our afternoon Nursery visited Newbridge House as one of their acts of Advent Kindness. The children decorated the tree for the residents with the decorations they had made. They sang Jingle Bells and Baa Baa sheep and were rewarded with a cake. Everyone loved it and we were invited to go back again! Well done Nursery!
