Some of our most talented brass players had their last lesson yesterday before they perform at the Wolverhampton Music School today. We wish them all the luck today and we also extend our thanks to Miss Oxley, who has taught them so well over the last few years.

Thank you for all of your donations for Rainbow Day. The children had a lot of fun; dancing, playing Samba, taking penalties and getting their face painted.

The total raised for our Peace Garden was £486.41. Thank you to all the children and parents for their kind donations.

Over the last two weeks of term, Mrs Willkhu and Mrs O’Brien Coleman have been providing the children from all year groups with a cooking experience. They have cooked a variety of food from pasta bake to apple crumble. The children have been really enthused by this experience and have really got a lot out of it. We thank Mrs Willkhu and Mrs O’Brien Coleman for all their hard work and culinary skills.

Last Thursday, our Year 6 class received a standing ovation for their version of Beauty and the Beast as part of their leaver’s assembly.

The children have been rehearsing hard for weeks and produced a wonderful performance, which had parents and teachers in tears. After the performance, the children shared their favourite memories from their time at SS Peter and Paul’s and then watched a video of their time at the school.

A special thanks to Miss Higgins and Mrs O’Leary for all their hard work in preparing the show.

Last Thursday, we took out city finalists to Aldersley Stadium to compete for medals in the Athletics. The children were already in the top 8 in the city in their event but were going to try to win a medal.

The children performed amazingly and did themselves proud in front of strong support from parents and teachers.

Tanaka came 2nd in the 80m Sprint and won a silver medal.

Rachel came 3rd in the Long Jump and won a bronze medal.

Giuseppe came 4th, narrowly missing out on a medal in the high jump.

Meah came 3rd in the 300m and won a bronze medal.

Alyssia came 3rd in the throwing competition and won a bronze medal.

Eros performed well against children a year older than him and came 6th in the city in the long jump.

Meah came 3rd again in the high jump and won a second bronze medal.

Kamila, Meah, Rachel and Alyssia came 5th in the city as part of the girls relay team.

A fantastic night!

On Friday 14th July, our Nursery Class had their graduation assembly. The children had a lovely day and thought about what they would like to be when they are older. By the looks of it, we may have a few superheroes!

Mrs Murphy kindly had a cake made with all their graduation pictures on so that the children could take home their own face on their cake.

Year 6 enjoyed a wonderful day in the sunshine at the Safari Park last Wednesday. They spent the morning viewing the park’s fantastic animals, including; elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, white tigers and crocodiles! The afternoon was just as action packed as they embraced the rides in the theme park with their teachers. What a wonderful way to end their year together. Here are a few of the pictures…

We took ten children to the City Athletics event at Aldersley Leisure Village to compete in individual events against the other children in Wolverhampton. The top performers would then qualify for the finals night on Thursday 13th July.

The children performed wonderfully against other children from a range of schools across Wolverhampton and I am proud to announce that seven of our children were in the top eight in their event, and will represent the school at the City Finals Event.

This is a list of the children that qualified and their event (s).

Meah – 300m/High Jump/Relay

Rachel – Long Jump/Relay

Alyssia – Throw/Relay

Kamila – Relay

Giuseppe – High Jump

Tanaka – 80m

Eros – Long Jump

Last Wednesday we held our Sports Day, which just happened to be on the hottest day of the year!

The heat did not stop the children (and parents) giving their all in the different events. The children represented themselves and their houses brilliantly; supporting the different children during their events.

In the morning, Early Years and Key Stage One took part in running and obstacle events earning points for their houses. By the time their events were finished, St Andrews were standing in the lead.

The Key Stage Two children and our afternoon Nursery came out in the afternoon to again try and earn points for their respective house. They competed in a variety of running, obstacle and throwing events and we were also able to see a wonderful performance from our young dancers; performing their two dances that they had recently performed at the dance festival.

After all the events, including some very exciting relay races, the points were added up from the morning and afternoon events, and the winning house was St Georges. The house captains were awarded the trophy during Friday’s Assembly.

During the day, money was being raised for Diabetes UK through the sales of refreshments and raffle tickets to win fruit and vegetable hampers. We are delighted to announce, that through your support, we were able to raise a fantastic £89.31.

This was definitely the best sports day for several years, and we at SS Peter and Paul would like to thank all the parents that came to support their children, took park in the parent races and also volunteered to run our refreshment stall. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Well done to everyone involved!
