The Guinness World Records official attempt number roll
The charity National Numeracy and Times Tables Rock Stars have teamed up for a Rocking and Rolling Numbers live event, to get children across the UK feeling positive and confident about maths.
Number rolling is a catchy call-and-response chant with accompanying actions that help kids feel good about numbers.
At 9.30am today, our children joined the live stream and were part of this brilliant event, and amazingly, they did set a NEW GUINESS WORLD RECORD!!!
Yesterday, Miss Barrett took her school choir to join in ‘Singing in the Rain’ in Queen Square. The children who attended, really did her proud at this brilliant city school get together.
Well done to every school involved!
To support the emotional well-being of our children, we now have a team of Play leaders who organise lunchtime games for both KS1 and 2 promoting team work, social skills and confidence.
To help prepare them for this role, the children are receiving after school training on active listening, the use of open questioning and the ABC method of problem-solving so they are equipped to help children on the playground who may be feeling worried or upset.
Last week, Reception flew around the world learning about different countries that are important to them. On Monday, they flew to Ireland where they learnt how to Irish Dance. In the afternoon they flew to Turkey and made flags before eating Turkish Delight.
Tuesday, they flew to Finland and made some Puff pastry stars to take home. On Wednesday, they flew to Lithuania where we found out about their National bird – The White stork. On Thursday, they flew to Poland to decorate Eggs, which is an Easter tradition there.
The finally on Friday, they enjoyed looking at lots more countries that are special to children in Reception.
They each had a passport and added in the correct flags after each visit.
A wonderful week!
Year 3 have been working with an Artist, Amanda Yates over the past few weeks.
The children have designed their own fantasy creatures, which have been made out of cardboard, slotted together and decorated. These designs will then be transferred onto wood and different pieces from 4
other schools will be mixed and matched together to create an exhibition of 3D fantasy animals.
There will be a set date where the children/families can exclusively view the exhibition – details will be provided soon!
This week, children from year 3 and 4 took part in a dodgeball competition at Aldersley Village. They demonstrated brilliant catching, throwing and dodging abilities along with exceptional sportsmanship. If you see them around school, be sure to congratulate them on their achievement.
To celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week, our children took park in the #Take10toRead moment, supported by Ant and Dec. Our children spent 10 minutes in the day reading their favourite books!
To celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s II Platinum Jubilee in June, a card from all the staff and children at SS Peter and Paul will be posted to Her Majesty to congratulate her on her reign.
Over the next few weeks the children will learn facts about the life of Queen Elizabeth II, create portraits and enjoy a Jubilee Picnic fun day.
Last week, Year 3 had a brilliant first session for their Sculpture Project with local artist – Manda Yates. They created Caulder-style wire sculptures and Barbara Hepworth-style soap sculptures. They also practised rock balancing, in the style of Andy Goldworthy. Here is a selection of images from the day.
