Here are the children that received praise this week!
Some of the children were treated to a wonderful performance by the Wolverhampton Music Service today. The children were exposed to many instruments from the woodwind family such as the oboe, flute and saxophone, as well as the drums.
The children thoroughly enjoyed an interactive afternoon, recognising familiar songs in the music line up including music from Bluey, Matilda and Super Mario. The children also learnt fun facts such as the oboe is the first instrument you would hear when you attend an orchestra and the facial expressions you need to make to create the right sound!
How beautifully our pupils prepared for a very special May Procession in the Year of Jubilee. Pupils visited four grottos in their own pilgrimage this morning. Each grotto had a different theme to honor Mary and volunteers in Year 6 shared singing, prayers and scripture and every child who visited each location left an offering on their pilgrimage that they had made themselves. We then came together in the hall with Fr Alex to bless a floral crown for our statue before Mary was crowned.
Yesterday, SS Peter and Paul acknowledged National Numeracy Day by having a money focus in their Maths lessons!
Some classes participated in role play through buying and selling in shops! Other classes did some work around budgets and understanding that today, money is so much more than coins and notes.
To link with World Cultural Diversity Day – some children also brought in currency from other countries to discuss! #NationalNumeracyDay
How wonderful did all our children look today celebrating their culture on World Cultural Diversity Day?
All the children were so proud to share information about their heritage, culture and some children also brought in currency to discuss! We are a very proud multi-cultural school!
Year 6 had an opportunity for a live question and answer session on World Cultural Diversity Day interviewing someone living in Nekemte Town, Ethiopia. They found out lots about the local area, culture, tourism, customs, traditions and day to day life. We also found out a lot more about our partner school on the outskirts of the city. Year 6 will share their knowledge with staff and pupils at a later date.
Yesterday, Year 6 joined lots of other primary schools at ‘Wolverhampton University at the Halls’ for the ‘Singing in the Halls’ event hosted by Wolverhampton Music School. The children joined in and sang lots of songs including, Wonderwall, Higher Love and Beautiful!
Nursery children enjoyed visiting the library this week. They listened to stories about recycling and caring for the planet, sang nursery rhymes, made a sunflower, joined the library and borrowed a book.
All our classes in school will be visiting the local library in the upcoming weeks!
Today our pupils watched the live assembly about the Conclave. Children enjoyed listening to the facts and participating in a live liturgy from the Vatican city.
Children wrote prayers to Jesus asking to support the Cardinals to choose the next Pope by listening to his guidance.
