By Mr J Morgan2nd October 2018

A massive thank you to all parents, children and staff for contributing to our Macmillan coffee morning in school. We are extremely proud to announce that we raised £346.41! This really is a tremendous amount!

Our school council judged the bake off entries as well as other competitions. They chose the following winners:

Class Bake Off Winners: Year 5

Staff/Parent Bake Off Winner: Mrs Olaszczyk

Colouring Competition: 1st – Nataniel 2nd – Amelia

Revolting Recipes Winner: 1st – Jagoda 2nd – Natalia

 

The wonderful cake provided by Mrs Willkhu was won by our school cook, and one of our parents guessed correctly for guessing the length of the sausage roll, which was 49cm!

Well done to everyone involved, and a huge thank you for Mrs Murphy for organising.

Kings Camp Visit

By Mr J Morgan17th July 2018

Last Tuesday, we had a visit from Kings Camp to promote physical activity.

Kings Camp is a UK registered charity and their mission is to get children active, having fun and learning together.

For 25 years they’ve been instilling a love of activity from an early age, making sport enjoyable and accessible, no matter the ability. They create programmes that are fun and inspiring and their Red Tops are selected for their outgoing and energetic personalities, their dedication to child development and their ability to inspire children, we call this magic formula The Kings Factor.

We certainly witnessed this at SS Peter and Paul, with our Red Top (Joe) providing the children with non-stop enthusiasm and fun games.

Kings Camp host holiday clubs at Tettenhall College, and we would really recommend signing your children up!

 

Catholic Athletics Event

By Mr J Morgan16th July 2018

On Friday 29th June, some of our Years 3,4, 5 and 6 children represented the school in the Catholic Athletics Event, held at Our Lady & St Chad Catholic Academy.

The children competed in these events:

Long Jump, Ball Throw, Obstacle, 100m, 300m, and relay.

As with the last few years, our children competed brilliantly, and SS Peter and Paul came back with several medals, including a baton with the value ‘Truth’, showing our honesty when competing. Well done to all the children involved!

Rainbow Day Spectacular!

By Mr J Morgan3rd July 2018

We celebrated our annual rainbow day last Friday. This year we were raising money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Mrs Willkhu kindly produced a unicorn cake, which was the main prize for the raffle, eventually won by a child in Reception.

Everyone joined in to support; Year 5 and 6 children ran stalls to raise money, Miss Aldridge did some art work, Miss Higgins, Mrs Kaur and Miss Rickhuss painted nails and faces and Mr Griffiths ran a penalty shootout competition with the help of the year 6 children.

Overall, we managed to raise  an amazing £408.44!! (with £116 raised by the unicorn cake raffle alone!)

Thank you to everyone who donated!

Prayer Garden Opening

By Mr J Morgan3rd July 2018

On Friday morning, our saints feast day, we had our official opening of our new prayer garden. Father Mark came to bless the garden in front of our academy’s directors, governors, parents and our school council.

This was a lovely event, organised by Mrs Sandhu, which involved a celebratory tea party after.

We all feel privileged to have such a beautiful prayer garden designed by our own children of SS Peter and Paul. Many thanks to Father Mark, who was able to join us on this memorable day.

Holy Communion

By Mr J Morgan7th June 2018

Congratulations to our Year 3 children who have celebrated their Holy Communion. The children produced a wonderful assembly, which was well attended by parents before half term. The children all looked wonderful in their Holy Communion clothes and were a credit to their families and the school.

Celebration and Easter Project Winners

By Mr J Morgan29th March 2018

This morning we had our celebration assembly.

First, we had all of our entries for the Easter Garden project displayed in the hall and we had three judges decide on a winner for each class. The judges consisted of: Mr Asbury (Site Manager), Mr Spinks (Academy Committee) and Mrs Thompson (Office Staff).

The winners were:

Year 1 – Martin Dimitrov

Year 2 – Raphael Ani

Year 3 – Baxshenda Mahmoud

Year 4 – Wiktoria Zelawska

Year 5 – Ronya Mostafi

Year 6 – Eros Edginton

The standard this year was better than ever, and the judges had an extremely hard choice. Thank you for everyone that entered, these will be on display in school.

We then gave out our weekly Golden Book certificates, celebrating the wonderful work in school.

Our attendance award went to Sophia Giuliano from Year 6. Her name was picked at random from all the children who have their attendance over 96%.

We then had to decide on a winner for our Citizen of the Term. Each teacher picked a child from their class who had demonstrated the Catholic virtues and values this term and a name was chosen out of a hat to decide on our winner. Our Citizen of the Term is Rihanna Robbins from Year 6.

Finally, we had a raffle for a wonderful Easter cake made by our year 2 pupil Jessica Fisher and her mum. This raffle raised £30.00 for our prayer garden and the lucky person to take home the cake was Miss Rickhuss.

What another fabulous term at SS Peter and Paul!

 

Youth Sunday at SS Peter and Paul

28th November 2017Mr M Jones

On Sunday, pupils from school joined together with young people from The Edge, liturgy group and CathSoc to undertake roles in Mass on National Youth Sunday. This year, Youth Sunday fell on the solemnity of Christ the King. Children made crowns and presented them at this special occasion. Thank you to everyone that attended.
