Nursery children visited the Marquis Drive Visitors Centre, Cannock Chase on Tuesday 25th June, supported by Tanglewood outdoor learning. They became nature detectives and explored nature’s palette, which is outdoor natural art.
Despite the weather, which was rainy and damp, a great time was had by all. Thank you to everyone who helped out on the day, and to parents and carers for ensuring the children were equipped for the day.
On Wednesday, the much anticipated productions of ‘Beowuld’ and ‘Anti-Bullying’ by Year 4 and 5 were performed on stage at the Newhampton Art Centre. The children from both classes have produced the majority of the production themselves: script writing, designing backdrops, stage transitioning and building props. There was also an opportunity to display their work in the exhibition hall.
Both performances were show-stopping and revealed some hidden talents for performing from many children. Thank you to all the parents, family members, governors that attended and supported the pupils. They were truly marvellous and a credit to the school – well done!
On Friday 14th June, Years 3-6 braved the unpredictable weather to participate in many different sporting activities at Aldersley Leisure Village. This culminated in a running event hosted by marathon kids – where the children would do as many laps as possible of the running track in a set time. Each time the children completed a lap – they received a wristband.
I am very proud to announce that SS Peter and Paul children/staff ran a combined 397km (246 miles) in 30 minutes. Well done to all the children, parents and staff who supported and attended this event. Each child received a medal for their efforts and as a bonus met Wolfie!
Last week, Key Stage 2 had a visit from Clare Mullin, who works for Parliament. She led an assembly explaining to the children about democracy and how the Houses of Parliament are home to the House of Lords and House of Commons. The children found this extremely engaging and knowledgeable and prompted lots of fantastic questions for our guest.
Children from Year 3 and Year 2 traveled to Warwick Castle on Wednesday. They had the opportunity to learn about the history of the castle, explore the grounds, take a look inside the Great Hall and take part in a Stories and Shields workshop. Whilst the children were eating their lunch by the riverside, they were able to watch The Falconer’s Quest Show; watching birds of prey take flight and perform aerial acrobatics. It was an action packed day and the children thoroughly themselves. The weather was really kind to them too!
On Saturday, SS Peter and Paul held a Father’s Day event where dads could take part in lots of different activities with their children. The poor weather didn’t dampen the day, and there were lots of fun activities going on in school.
Thank you to all the families that attended and for Miss Murphy for organising the event.
On Friday, SS Peter and Paul celebrated Book Trust’s Pyjamarama Day. We joined thousands of children, up and down the UK, in joining the Pyjamarama fun.
Thank you for all the children and staff who came in their pyjamas and kindly donated. We are currently in the process of counting up how much money was raised.
The children came in their own clothes to raise money for the charity ‘Street Child’. Mrs Murphy is helping raise money for this charity, which will involve her travelling to Sierra Leone as part of her participation in Street Child International Volunteers. £30 sends a child to school for a whole year, £200 would pay for a teacher’s salary for a year and £1000 will fully refurbish a rural school. Mrs Murphy would like to express her thanks to everyone who contributed. Thanks!

On Wednesday, we held our May Procession outside. Our service included singing from our choir, artwork from children and teachers, poems and hymns. Thank you so much to everyone that attended and the donation of flowers. You can currently see this presented in our Foyer.
