Yesterday, we joined with all Catholic Schools to experience and participate in the launch for schools of the Jubilee Year – pilgrims of hope. This included joining together for a live stream with all Catholic schools in the diocese where this was introduced to all children where we joined together in hymn and prayer. Children participated in various learning throughout the day and then we ended the Jubilee launch day building the logo together in the hall. Each class created one part, learning about it’s symbolism before sharing this knowledge and building up each element to form a masterpiece!
Yesterday, some of our Year 2 children attended a multi-skills event at Aldersley High School. They competed in lots of challenges, which tested their balance, coordination, speed and hand-eye coordination!
Thank you to the parents that supported with transport to enable this to happen!
Here are the children that received praise this week!
SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary Academy is proud to announce they have been recognised for their commitment to girls football with an Equal Access Award by the FA. This award has identified that we provide equal access among boys and girls, both in the curriculum and opportunities in extra-curricular football clubs, which is a great achievement for the school.
All girls participate in football during PE lessons – with a strong number also playing an active part in the football extra-curricular activities. We have also had many girls represent the school in girl’s football competitions but also in mixed events. The school takes real pride in being able to offer this opportunity to all pupils.
Additionally, we were really proud to be presented with an award to celebrate being a School Games Platinum school, one of only five primary schools in the city to do so!
Last night, our Year 5 children attended ‘the largest concert choir in the world’ – Young Voices at the BP Pulse LIVE arena. They joined with thousands of other children from schools across the midlands to sing a variety of songs including ‘dance the night away’.
Well done all those that attended and participated!
Yesterday in school, we celebrated Christmas on the date they celebrate in Ethiopia! Our youngest learnt about how people in Ethiopia enjoy playing a game like hockey. They then looked at the colours of their flag and using a skill of ‘dotting and dabbing’ they created their own. Some children even wrote cards for their families.
Across other year groups, we have revealed the icon painting commissioned for the #Jubilee2025 as part of our celebrations in school. We will be learning about the artist and the scripture connected to this art and displaying a copy in our school hall to admire.
Happy Christmas to our twinned school in Ethiopia
Yesterday, the children who participated in the summer learning were treated to a silent disco after school!
