Giving instructions to an alien!, by Miss Hirst

Date: 1st Oct 2025 @ 3:51pm

Today, year 4 practiced verbally giving instructions to their table partner as if they were an alien and had never seen a school before! They had to be specific with any instructions given for simple tasks that can be completed in a school. For example: How to get to an assembly, how to write in a book or what an end of day routine looks like. Well done year 4! Some amazing instructions were given!

Harvest, by Mrs Williams

Date: 30th Sep 2025 @ 2:41pm

In RE we have been learning about who Christian people believe created the world and all the wonderful things in it. We created our own Creation Story wheel to show what God created on each day. We have also learned about Harvest festival. Christians celebrate harvest as a special celebration to thank God for the food he shares and how Christian people donate food to others who do not have enough. At St Peters school we have a wonderful growing garden. We explored some of the fruits and vegetables that are growing in our garden.

Learn, Love and Grow Together Day!, by Miss Hirst

Date: 14th Jul 2025 @ 4:43pm

On Friday last week, we had our Learn, Love and Grow Together Day. In year 4, it was lovely to see all of the children working hard, learning and enjoying the activities that they completed. First we went out onto the woodland walk and did some orienteering. In mixed class groups, the children used maps of the school grounds to find the orange flags. They then wrote down the coordinates and used a compass to find the direction of the flag. It was brilliant to see the teamwork of each group! Other activities enjoyed throughout the day included playing traditional games such as dominoes, yo-yos and pick up sticks. Bingo was a big hit in both classes as well! We also decorated kindness chests and wrote kindness messages to friends.  

Who we are
