Yesterday here at SS Peter and Paul, there were lots of fun activities celebrating Shrove Tuesday.

In Reception, we invited parents in to make pancakes with children, they then topped with lemon, sugar or banana.

In year 1, the children wrote instructions for a pancake recipe and tasted pancakes. Here are some pictures…

Today the children in nursery and reception have concluded their topic on Traditional Tales by having a dress up day. We had princesses, Kings, knights, fairies, Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood, to name but a few!

They danced together at a grand ball in the hall, made sandwiches, salad and cheese and pineapple on sticks for a banquet and listened to some of their favourite stories.

All of the children and staff had a very enjoyable day and have learnt a lot about traditional tales; try asking them what Goldilocks did, what the big bad wolf said to the three little pigs and what Jack sold the cow for, and they should be able to tell you.

This morning the children had to strip their beds, pack, tidy their rooms and hoover. They then went out for their final activity of canoeing. We canoed across the lake to have lunch and then went to another part of the lake to play some games before heading back for shore.

We are going to have a light snack before leaving here around 5:00 pm. When we return to school around 8:00 pm, the children will need to unload the bags and all return into the school hall where any remaining money will be handed back and any medicines will also be returned. The children will then be able to be collected from the school office.

The children woke up to freezing temperatures here in Wales but that did not stop them participating in lots of activities.

The children started by doing several activities around the grounds including zip line, jump rope and climbing along a cliff face. Then after warming up and having their lunch, the children headed into the valley for some gorge walking. Here the children went into old mines, climbed up and down streams and showed great climbing ability to balance across the slippery rocks.

This evening after dinner, the children did some orienteering in the dark with their torches before going into spend their money at the Towers Shop, whilst others played pool and table tennis.

Here are a selection of pictures from today…

We are hoping for better weather for our last day tomorrow so that we can do some canoeing before heading home.

After arriving yesterday, the children made their beds, unpacked and had lunch. They then split into three groups and went on separate walks in the mountains along some lakes including Llyn Elsi. On arriving back at Towers, the children had dinner and pudding before getting ready for their evening activity. We then went out as a whole group for a night walk with torches into the local forest, which the children thoroughly enjoyed. We then returned for a hot chocolate with the children finally going to bed around 9.30.

Ten Year 2 children represented SS Peter and Paul at a multi skills event last week at Wolverhampton Grammar School. The children worked as a team to win as many points as possible in events that tested different skills including: balance, speed, target throwing and agility.

They performed brilliantly and ended up coming second, each achieving a silver medal. They also achieved a certificate which was presented to them in praise assembly. Thank you to all the parents that came to support their children, it was much appreciated.
