Look at all of these books that have very kindly been donated to us today! Our Year 6 Reading Council members can’t wait to distribute them around the school for the class libraries! Wow!
Reception have been celebrating Chinese New Year. We made lanterns, painted Chinese letters and even tried Chinese food.
This morning, we were very lucky to be visited by visitors from the green square accord and TLC college, who are running a project on physical activity in the St Peter’s Ward. This morning, they were fact-finding with our children and parents on what sort of activities they currently do, where they do them and what they would like to do! This is an ongoing project we are very proud to be a part of!
Today, there was a launch assembly for the children to apply to become Mini Vinnies with guest speaker, Mary Rooke.
Mini Vinnies are 7 to 11 year olds based in schools and parishes across England and Wales, and in several other countries across the world. They come together to form a part of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in England and Wales, a voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms.
Mini Vinnies meet to pray, discuss and support however they can to help make a difference in their communities.
The children were encouraged to apply to become a Mini Vinnie and they will meet regularly to discuss projects they want to become involved in to make our school, community and world a better place.On Friday morning, our Early Years Team invited our school community in to participate in sharing activities and rhymes with our families. A really wonderful morning was had by all!
On the 11th day, of the 11th month on the 11th hour we will remember them. We gathered to observe the national silence following a liturgy prepared by pupils from Y4, Y5 & Y6. Pupils across school have laid their prayers at our alter as we pray for the souls of the departed.

What a fantastic day we have had in school! Thank you to all of the parents who have come into school today to speak to the children about their culture. We have all learnt so much! Thank you also to the parents who have sent in information, photos and food. 
As part of our Black History Month celebrations, our classes have been experiencing African drumming sessions with Cally. In these sessions, the children have been learning about the history of the drums; how to hold and position the hands to play the notes and learning rhythms and songs from West Africa.
EYFS joined a live storytelling event as part of our Black History Month learning.
They had a super time this morning joining a live storytelling session with The Crowfoot Prince from Sierra Leone. They travelled around Africa in a half peanut shell, met Anansi the Spider, a King and a princess who couldn’t dance. They danced, sang and played our drums. It was lots of fun!
