School Council Meet Lord Russell of Liverpool

17th October 2021Mr J Morgan
On Friday, some of our school Council enjoyed a Learn with the Lords Online session, meeting Lord Russell of Liverpool and were able to ask him very informative questions. They found out all about how Lords are given their name, and what their role is within the House of Lords. Additionaly, the children also found out how he became a Lord and how he got the name Lord Russell of Liverpool.
The children came up with really interesting questions like ‘If Lord Russell could change one law, what would it be?’ His response was that he would like to lower the voting age to 16, as he is passionate on combating climate change, and our children are the ones that are going to have to live through this, so should be able to vote.
Thank you to UK Parliament Education for providing this amazing opportunity.

Hello Yellow Day 2021

8th October 2021Mr J Morgan

Today at SS Peter and Paul, we have celebrated Hello Yellow Day to promote our well-being in school.

Children and staff dressed in yellow and took park in lots of activities throughout the day. This morning, all classes tuned in to Tom Percival as he gave some drawing tips and read an extract from his new book. This was to promote the ‘Take 10 challenge’, where children were encouraged to read for 10 minutes and the main thing was to enjoy it!

Other classes did activities such as create self soothe boxes, baked cakes and we even had a book sale! Year 5 children created some videos promoting one of the 5 ways to well being – Be Active!

A wonderful day had by all, and we can’t wait to see what ideas our children have come up with for the class well being areas!

Tag Rugby Festival

24th September 2021Mr J Morgan
Some of the children in years 5 and 6 had the opportunity to compete against 2 other schools in a tag rugby tournament this week. After going through some skills based activities with the mentors in the morning, they went into the afternoon winning and drawing the two games that they played.
Well done to all of the children involved and a special well done to those who were awarded medals for their teamwork and respect. It is lovely to be able to have our children in sporting events again!
