Here are our SSPP Superstars for this week!
Yesterday, we participated in the Quicksticks Hockey Festival at WV Active alongside 10 other schools. A lot of our children have attended our Hockey after school club on a Tuesday, so this was a perfect opportunity for the children to apply their learning in competitive matches.
The children had a wonderful time and participated competitively in all the games, showing a real improvement as a team the more games they played. Well done!
Today, some of our children represented the school at Boccia in an event at Aldersley WV Active. This is a strategy game, where children need to get their coloured ball closest to the white ball.
The children were a credit to the school and behaved impeccably.
Congratulations to our Confirmandi this year! A wonderful celebration was had in our Parish as 45 young people were Confirmed. How wonderful to have Archbishop Bernard Longley Confirm so many young people in the Jubilee Year.
Last night, ten Year 5 and 6 children represented the school as a team at a Sportshall Athletics Event at Wolverhampton Grammar School!
They had to participate in events such as: relay, chest throw, vertical long jump, standing long jump, speed bounce and hurdles. The better they performed, the more points they won for their team.
We were very proud to come second in the event, which means we have progressed to the city finals night in December! We narrowly missed out on first place by 2 points!
Last week, Reception were busy learning five Nursery Rhymes. They made honey sandwiches like a queen, built walls for Humpty Dumpty, listened out for thunder, jumped aboard a pirate ship and ended the week making 2 little Dickie birds with our families.
Through our partnership with Wolves Foundation, we were very grateful to be invited to WV Active to participate in a PDC Bullseye Maths experience. The venue is currently set up for the 2025 Grand Slam of darts, and all the world’s best darts players are currently in our city participating in the event.
Our Year 6 cohort visited to experience how maths is important in darts and how playing darts can support their arithmetic skills. We were very fortunate to be joined by the World no.10 player Josh Rock, who supported and spoke to all of our children.
