Thank you for all those children that created a Bambinelli over the last few weeks. On Tuesday, after delivering our Mass, Father Mark gave these models of baby Jesus his special blessing.
Yesterday, our Year 5 and 6 children went on a trip to the Old Rep Theatre in Birmingham to watch a production of Alice in Wonderland. This was courtesy of the Rotary Club’s kind grant to give these children an opportunity they may not usually have had.
The children loved the production and were amazed by the theatre itself. They behaved wonderfully and I’m sure this will be the first of many visits to the theatre now!
Our Nursery, Reception and Year 1 children attended Newhampton Arts Centre going on a journey through the seasons with Moomintroll, Snufkin, Little My, Thingumy and Bob. There was lots of audience participation and lots of laughter. The children’s behaviour was impeccable, it was a fabulous trip.
Amy Allen from Wolverhampton University came into school today to launch Children’s University with our Year 5 class! The children are part of a select group of school’s, who will be able to achieve stamps in their new Children’s University passports by doing educational activties outside of school. This will then lead to them having a graduation at Wolverhampton University in June next year, where parents will be able to see them graduate!
We are very excited to be part of this as a school, as it will provide our children with something exciting to work towards and also include a few visits to Wovlerhampton University. The children will continue this during their time in Year 6.

Yesterday, our talented early years children produced a fantastic nativity story! There was beautiful singing, loud, clear reading and wonderful dancing – all put together my our brilliant staff! The video to this will soon be available for parents to watch. Thank you to everyone involved!
SSPP pupils show a real passion for their History learning. Their enthusiasm for studying people and events of the past shines through in the wonderful History projects that have been created across school.
Mr Morgan’s Maths Problems of the Week are creating quite the stir at SS Peter and Paul! Children have been queuing to try and get their answer in the box. Children are encouraged to answer a different problem each week, with children being rewarded for participation and for getting the correct answers!
This half term, Year 6 have been getting a taster of Gaelic football from qualified coach Dermot Thornton (also a player in Ireland). At SS Peter and Paul, we are always looking to give our children the experience to try new sports and this is definitly one that our children have thoroughly enjoyed getting to play!
Year 5 took part in an online workshop today with the author Benjamin Dean, who has written the book ‘Me, My Dad and the end of the Rainbow’.
The children learnt about the author’s inspiration and worked as part of a workshop to develop a setting description based on their most imaginative football stadium!
Some examples were a stadium set in the Arctic on a rainbow snow surface, and a stadium in outer space made of cheese!
On the last day of the residential, the children got up early to finish packing and tidying their rooms! They then had breakfast and did their last two activities in their groups. This consisted of high ropes, crate stacking, the obstacle race and then the manor olympics!
The children arrived back at school exhausted, but had a really fun few days!
