The Early Years team and children would like to thank the families who joined us in our outdoor area on Wednesday 29th January for their hard work and support. They were tasked with shoveling soil, transporting it in wheelbarrows and filling the digging area and planting areas. They also helped to move bags of stones and gravel which have been placed in tyres to enhance the environment further. This is just the beginning and we will be looking for more willing volunteers in the coming weeks…

On Friday 6th December, The Polar Express came to SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary Academy. The children were given their own special train ticket, which was then punched by train conductors around school. The children were then able to follow the train track around school to their classes.
In the afternoon, there was an extra special surprise as Father Christmas turned up to the see the children at North Pole with his reindeer. Each class had a chance to see Father Christmas and meet the reindeer and some children were able to sit on Father Christmas’ sleigh and have some pictures. Hot Chocolate was also served for families while our wonderful choir sang some Christmas carols.
On Thursday 5th December, Some of our Year 4, 5 and 6 children represented the school in a Boccia tournament at Westcroft Special School. The children performed really well coming second, but also demonstrated lots of sporting values such as: teamwork, respect and sportsmanship.
On Tuesday 10th December, children from our School Choir performed, ‘Oh What a Glorious Night’ and joined the carol singing alongside choirs from: St Edmunds, St Teresa’s, St Bernadette’s and St Christopher’s. The children sang beautifully and represented SS Peter and Paul very well indeed.
Over the last four weeks, our Year 5 children have been participating in GOAL (Game of actual life) workshops – provided by Premier Sport. Within these sessions, the children are 22 years of age and have to open their own bank account, look for jobs, spend within their budget as well as finding out about renting a property. AllĀ useful information in preparing our young children for the future!
Report Written by Dior (Y6)
When we got to Ormiston NEW Academy, we saw the competition. Despite use either forgetting or not knowing how to play Cricket, we had faith in ourselves. When we got into the sports hall, we practised a bit then a lady gathered us and told us who we were going against.
We were going to play in the smaller sports hall across from the larger oneĀ – we played all our games in there. Our first two games before lunch – we won.
After lunch, we were supposed to play The Royal School but the plans changed. We ended up playing another school that had also won 2 games (St Stephens). They played really well in the game. They finished on 10 runs but we were sure we could beat them. We were also on 10 runs with one ball left and I hit the ball so well – I didn’t have to run and then everyone crowded around me and we had won the competition!
