Over the next few weeks, our local PCSO, Trudi Brittle, will be visiting all our classes. Today, she visited Year 6 to discuss anti-social behaviour.
Congratulations to Ala, whose poem and nomination for her mum won the Mother’s Day hamper. Every child that nominated their mum went home with a goody bag. Thanks to Mrs Tudor and our Minnie Vinnies.
Today, our Early Year’s team invited in our mums to have a party with their children ready for Mother’s Day on Sunday! What a wonderful celebration for our marvellous mums!
Today, our Year 4 class had an educational visit from Tettenhall Fire Service. They were given tips on how to be safe at home in case of the fire. This included Stop, Drop and Roll incase they were on fire!
Today in our Gospel Assembly, we marked the tenth anniversary of Pope Francis becoming pope. Mrs Walker explained how this linked to our social catholic teachings:
‘Dignity for the human person‘ – Pope Francis has called for us to ‘welcome the stranger’ by ensuring that migrants and refugees are able to leave their homelands without risking their lives so they can live safely and with dignity.
‘Care of our Common Home – Stewardship’ Pope Francis wrote the encyclical letter Ladauto Si
‘Common good’ After the pandemic, Pope Francis also encouraged us to build back as a better world. He released Fratelli Tutti, an encyclical letter about not rushing back to life post covid but finding a new normal.
Today, we continued to take part in the St. Peter’s Activity Project, trying to create more opportunities for our children to be active in the local area. From the previous workshop, the top activities our children wanted to look into were: Football, playing with friends, Gymnastics, Ice-Skating and Dance!
Over the last term, our school has been part of a special panel with the important job of helping to judge the Young people’s book prize for best Science book. Each class were given a selection of shortlisted entries to read and score.
Our reading council met together a few weeks ago to decide our favourite entry. We chose ‘Fantastically Great Women Scientists and their stories’ by Kate Pankhurst as our school favourite.
The official winner was announced today as ‘If the World Were 100 People’, by Jackie McCann and Aaron Cushley. The children can look out for these fantastic Science books in their book corners this half term.
Nice to see the girls enjoying their football club today on the same day that the FA have launched their Let Girls Play campaign. #LetGirlsPlay
We are really pushing girl’s football to ride the wave of the success of the England Women’s team last year. Mrs Sands is starting a football practise tomorrow evening; we are awaiting our new kit made from the recycled bottles from the Reconomy project and we have some fixtures planned in the next few weeks!
