This morning, some of our children attended an All Aboard event at Aldersley and participated in events such as blind football, kinball, dancing and bowling!
Nursery parents joined us for Stay and Read yesterday, they read Spot’s First Walk and sang some nursery rhymes!
Yesterday, on the Feast of the Archangels we marked the official launch of St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Multi-Academy Trust to which we belong. We gathered together yesterday morning and heard a special welcome message from Bishop Tim. Later staff, pupil representatives and our Chair of Governors joined 63 other schools in our Trust at a Mass of Celebration at St Austin’s Catholic Church is Stafford. They brought back a lamp, blessed by Canon Jonathon Veasey at the Mass. Our lamp unites us with each school in the Trust. May each shine brightly and we all be messengers of hope!
On Monday, SS Peter and Paul had their first football match of the school year, playing Castlecroft Primary School! There were lots of boys and girls representing the school for the first time and put in some wonderful performances. Goals from Anita and Gerard ensured that we won the game 2-1, but it was a game full of lots of drama including some wonderful saves and a saved penalty!
Player of the Match: Shantelle
SSPP has fully embraced National Fitness day! Fitness sessions have taken place before school, during class and at break times – including a long distance run at lunchtime with Mrs Byrne and Mr Morgan! Well done everyone! #ssppwellschool #NationalFitnessDay
Yesterday, children from year 5 and 6 attended a STEM race challenge at Harper Adams University. Their challenge was to design, build and customise a model F1 car to race at high speed down a track. Next they will up-skill others by sharing the information they have learned to form teams to enter the competition.
In the last week, we have hosted a phonics workshop and a transition workshop for our Year 1 parents. At these sessions, families obtained more information about how to support with their child’s reading in supporting their phonics sounds, and also discovered more about the transition from Reception to the Year 1 curriculum and how this will develop as the year progresses.
Families then had the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities with their child, including maths, writing and learn through play opportunities.
