The Alps- Tectonic Plates, by Miss Mulkeen
Date: 16th Mar 2017 @ 3:53pm
The Alps were formed around 30 million years ago, when two tectonic plates collided. As the two plates pushed on each other, the sediment buckled and the Alps were formed. Today we showed how this happened representing the Earth’s layers with four colours of salt dough and two piles to represent the two tectonic plates.
Jodrell Bank!, by Mr Jolly
Date: 16th Feb 2017 @ 5:13pm
On Wednesday 15th February, Year 5 travelled to Macclesfield to the site of Jodrell Bank, the 3rd largest working satellite in the world. At the time of opening, 60 years ago, it was the largest.
We had two workshops: Desitnation Space and Inflatable Planetarium. In the Destination Space one we looked at Tim Peake's mission and what astronauts get up to on the International Space Station. At the Inflatable Planetarium we went inside a huge bubble and saw what the sky was going to be like that evening as what we can see changes every night.
Please have a look at our pictures and a video of us creating fire!

As part of our R.E topic this half term, we have been learning about other countries and how they celebrate Christmas. To help us learn more about this we thought of lots of questions we wanted to ask a class in America and we got to Skype this class to ask our questions.
The best bit was when they sang 'Jingle Bells'!

Remembrance Day 2016, by Mr Whelan
Date: 11th Nov 2016 @ 11:43am
On 11th November at 11am we held a Remembrance Assembly so we could remember all those who have died, especially in wars. The Year 6 children had made poppy wreaths and we all listened to some poems, prayed and had a two minute silence.
We were very lucky to have Mr Murray lead our 2 minute silence by playing the 'Last Post' on the cornet. The "Last Post" is a cavalry trumpet call used in military funerals and ceremonies commemorating those who have been killed in war. He then finished the two minute silence by playing 'Reveille'. The two tunes symbolise sunset and sunrise respectively, and therefore, death and resurrection. Thank you Mr Murray!

What a fantastic day we had to celebrate the Feast Day of St. Peter! The children spent some time in their classes learning all about this special Saint whom our school is named after. We were very lucky to have Rev. Stephen come to see us and deliver a special assembly marking the day. We also had lots of fun when magician Paul Storey came to perform for us all. The celebrations were complete when an ice-cream van visited the school, and all of the children were able to choose a yummy treat - the oreos, sherbet and marshmallows were especially popular!!
