The Polar Express comes to SS Peter and Paul

By Mr J Morgan16th December 2019

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.

Unified Cricket Event

By Mr J Morgan26th November 2019

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 one  – 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!
