Just one lucky 100% attendance child won this draw and an extra special prize! They were able to come with their family and Mr Whelan to Halfords to choose themselves their dream bike! As well as this they chose a helmet, lights, a pump and a lock! What an excellent prize for such a super achievement!!

World Book Day

 

We have had a busy World Book Day today! Not only have we dressed up, we have also been completing lots of creative jobs around our theme book, Fantastic Mr Fox.

We started by finding out about each others’ favourite books by asking questions.

We then created our own book covers for the story and then filled in a ‘lift-up-the-flap’  book review to show our learning.

We finished with Fantastic Mr Fox finger puppets for our favourite characters.

 

Who we are

We look to provide a safe, secure, stimulating Christian environment in which all our children feel happy and valued as individuals, and where they can learn and play to the best of their abilities, and therefore reach their full potential.

Where we are

St Peter's Church of England Primary School
