By Mr J Morgan9th October 2018

Pupils from SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary Academy, in Wolverhampton will be able to kick-off the new term in style, following the delivery of a free Premier League Primary Stars kit for their football team.

SS Peter and Paul were awarded the free Nike kit, consisting of 15 football shirts, shorts and socks, after Mr Morgan’s successful online application through the Premier League Primary Stars website.

Premier League Primary Stars is available to primary schools across England and Wales and uses the appeal of the Premier League and professional football clubs to inspire girls and boys aged 5-11 to learn and be active.

PLPrimaryStars.com offers primary school teachers free curriculum-linked resources in English, Maths, PE and PSHE, and opportunities for schools to enter competitions and access free offers like the Premier League Primary Stars Kit and Equipment scheme.

Richard Scudamore, Executive Chairman of the Premier League said: “The Premier League Primary Stars kit and equipment packs provide a fantastic boost to schools at the start of the new school year. We hope that coupled with the free downloadable online resources, we can inspire children to do their best in the classroom and on the sports field.”

Mr Morgan , Vice Principal of SS Peter and  Paul Catholic Primary Academy said: We are so fortunate to have this new kit, and I know the children are really excited about playing their first match in it.

Year 5 Class Liturgy

This morning, parents joined year 5 in their Class Liturgy. The children shared their prayers and reading from the Gospel inspired by St Teresa and Little Way Week and the miracles of Jesus.

This morning was also an opportunity for parents to meet our new Music teacher – Miss Barrett. Miss Barrett performed one of the new songs the children have been learning.

Many thanks to everyone who joined us.

Geologist Visitor!

By Mr J Morgan2nd October 2018

Yesterday, Dr Laura Hobbs, who is a geologist, came into school to teach our Key Stage 2 children about Volcanoes. Years 4,5 and 6 had an assembly with Dr Hobbs, where they were fascinated listening to her stories and facts about volcanoes around the world.

Year 3 were then extremely lucky and had a workshop with Dr Hobbs, where they had to protect their buildings from lava flow using the game ‘Minecraft’.

Kings Camp Visit

By Mr J Morgan17th July 2018

Last Tuesday, we had a visit from Kings Camp to promote physical activity.

Kings Camp is a UK registered charity and their mission is to get children active, having fun and learning together.

For 25 years they’ve been instilling a love of activity from an early age, making sport enjoyable and accessible, no matter the ability. They create programmes that are fun and inspiring and their Red Tops are selected for their outgoing and energetic personalities, their dedication to child development and their ability to inspire children, we call this magic formula The Kings Factor.

We certainly witnessed this at SS Peter and Paul, with our Red Top (Joe) providing the children with non-stop enthusiasm and fun games.

Kings Camp host holiday clubs at Tettenhall College, and we would really recommend signing your children up!

Rainbow Day Spectacular!

By Mr J Morgan3rd July 2018

We celebrated our annual rainbow day last Friday. This year we were raising money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Mrs Willkhu kindly produced a unicorn cake, which was the main prize for the raffle, eventually won by a child in Reception.

Everyone joined in to support; Year 5 and 6 children ran stalls to raise money, Miss Aldridge did some art work, Miss Higgins, Mrs Kaur and Miss Rickhuss painted nails and faces and Mr Griffiths ran a penalty shootout competition with the help of the year 6 children.

Overall, we managed to raise  an amazing £408.44!! (with £116 raised by the unicorn cake raffle alone!)

Thank you to everyone who donated!
