Yesterday, we had a visit from Pep the Poet! He came and shared some of his wonderful poems with all the children and also touched on how important having a postive wellbeing is in your life!

It was lovely to see so many children purchasing his books at the end of the day! Thank you to Mrs Walker for organising the visit!

Football Match v St Andrews

9th March 2022Mr J Morgan
Children from Year 5 and 6 took part in a football match against St Andrews this week, demonstrating a high standard of teamwork and sportsmanship. In the first half we went up 1-0 thanks to a brilliantly crafted goal by Boyd. In the second half, St Andrews scored a goal to make it 1-1, with the ball trickling past our goal keeper. In the final moments of the match, it looked as though St Andrews were going to score a winning goal but Kacper denied them the chance of winning with fantastic goal-keeping acrobatics. The game ended as a draw but in a friendly penalty shootout, St Peter and Paul’s won by 10 goals to 5.
Here is Boyd’s goal – including an excellent celebration dedicated to the people of Ukraine.
We are extremely proud of our team and if you see them around school, be sure to congratulate them on their result.

International Women’s Day 2022

9th March 2022Mr J Morgan

Yesterday in school, we celebrated International Women’s Day. All the classes had their own focus and Mrs Walker had conducted some interviews with some inspirational women in the local area that the children could be inspired by and find out about.

Each child in Year 6 researched an inspirational woman of their choice – this formed part of a class piece of display work.
They learnt particularly about the three black women (Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn and Mary Jackson) who were a pivotal to the NASA space project and their engineering, physics and mathematical skills saved the life of John Glenn, the astronaut. They watched Hidden Figures. They then responded to this, extending their class display – their reactions were incredible!
Year 1 did a reactivation reading comprehension on Rosa Parks and Year 5 discussed famous women who have made a different across history.

World Book Day 2022

8th March 2022Mr J Morgan
World Book Day at SSPP was a spectacular event! The reading council have gone above and beyond to plan competitions and activities for the whole school. Each class got involved in our door decorating competition. You can see the photos below.
The winning classes will be announced in assembly on Friday! A huge well done to everyone!
Our second competition involved making a movie trailer to act out the blurb from a book. Pupils worked hard to develop their speaking and listening skills and the entries were very impressive.
What a fun day to celebrate the power of reading and promote our love of books. Remember, the GoReadathon competition is ongoing so continue to read and log your child’s efforts.

PCSO visit Year 6

3rd March 2022Mr J Morgan

To support the children’s learning on E-Safety and bullying, we arranged for our local PCSO to do a session with them addressing these topics. Year 6 found the PCSO visit very informative! They contributed enthusiastically and their learning has supported their E-Safety and Computing lessons.
