Year 4 produced a wonderful class assembly on Friday morning – dedicated to how important reading is to them. This was particularly appropriate as were celebrating our rearranged World Book Day in school so the hall was awash with everyone’s much loved book characters.

The children spoke about their favourite stories, acted out some of their favourite parts and sang a wonderful song about how there is a book for everyone. This really was a fantastic assembly; enjoyed by parents, staff and the children.

Well done to all the children, Miss Aldridge and Mrs Bellavia for a lovely assembly.

On Thursday 8th March, our school participated in the Tag Rugby Sub City Finals event at Smestow Secondary School.

There were 8 schools participating – split into two leagues, and the top schools would qualify for the City Finals on Monday 26th March at Wolverhampton Rugby Club.

We were very fortunate to be joined by an ex pupil – Ruby Cochrane – who has been volunteering to help support the club. Our first game was against Bhylls Acre and it was very closely fought, with us losing 6-5. Our second league game was against Villiers Primary school and we continued to play well – winning 4-2. The final league game was against St Stephens, who had started with the same results as us. This was a close match and finished 3-3. Amazingly, we finished 2nd in our group due to the amount of tries we had scored.

This then meant we were playing for the top four positions overall. We had to play the team that topped the other league, which was Uplands. The children (already ecstatic with finishing second in the group) carried on their fine form and won 5-4 to earn the right to play for 1st or 2nd place. Their next game was a repeat of their first against Bhylls Acre and despite a strong performance – Bhylls Acre won 3-1. A really strong performance from SS Peter and Paul, who are playing the best rugby for years. We go into the Finals event in a few weeks full of confidence. Well done to all the children involved and thank you to all the parents who came to support.

A massive thanks to all children and families for their donations for our Number Day. We managed to raise £42.13, which is an increase on last years total. We have had a certificate of thanks, which is now displayed in our school office.

Last night, eight of our Year 5 children participated in a ‘Quicksticks’ Hockey festival at Aldersley Leisure Village.

The children were split into two teams and competed in games against other schools around Wolverhampton. Our ‘A’ team, played three games winning 3-0, losing 4-1 and then winning their final game 1-0. There were some great performances – including the top goal scorer for the team – Kacper.

Our ‘B’ team competed in 4 games and were unlucky to lose their first two games 2-0. However, they improved in the last two games, losing 1-0 and then 3-1 in their final game – despite deservedly scoring their first goal by Madison.

The children all improved with every game, thoroughly enjoyed themselves and showed great sportsmanship – which is all you can ask for.

Thank you to all the parents that came to support their children representing our school.

Today we welcomed many parents and carers into early years to make pancakes with their children. They were able to choose a healthy fruit topping, and the pancakes were then devoured by the children with great enthusiasm. Parents commented “thank you so much for inviting us to join in with this today, we have really enjoyed it.”

A wonderful community event !  Thank you to our Early Years leader – Mrs Murphy – for organising.

Last Thursday, some of our year 1 and 2 children were selected to represent the school in a Multi-skills event. They were split into teams of boys and girls and had to complete a number of different activities that would test their balance, coordination, speed and agility.

The children did extremely well and finished with a combined score of 1023 points! Each child received a certificate, which was presented during praise assembly.
