World Book Day, by Mr Wood
Date: 7th Mar 2024 @ 2:18pm
We all had great fun dressing up as book characters on Thursday 7th March. The day got off to a great start with an assembly where everybody showed their costumes off! We were delighted to find that, thanks to the children’s kind donations, we raised over £247 for Book Aid International. This money will help to pay for books in less economically developed countries.

St Peter's Pebbles Playground Assembly, by Mrs Brandwood
Date: 1st Mar 2024 @ 2:56pm
St Peter's Playground Pebbles lead a fantastic whole school assembly on Tuesday.
The Pebbles explained how they could support children at playtime and lunchtime who are feeling lonely or who are finding it difficult to join in a game. They explained how they will model and use our Christian Values to help everyone have fun when playing outside on our playground.
In front of the whole school, the Pebbles made their special promise:
A friend to all who need it - for we believe that,
"...if one falls down, his friend can help him up..."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10.
The group then went onto explain the exciting new games they will be leading each lunchtime and introduce some of our new playground equipment.
Well done to our Pebbles! You showed great leadership, teamwork, bravery and friendship as you delivered your assembly. Everyone at St Peter's is very excitied to get outside and play at break and lunchtime!
St Peter's WOW Church Welcomes 'Praise Along' to record a fantastic collective worship song!, by Mrs Brandwood
Date: 1st Mar 2024 @ 2:42pm
On Tuesday, St Peter's enjoyed hosting our Spring Term WOW Church Synod Group meeting. This meeting was special as we were delighted to welcome Kelly and her team from ‘Praise Along’ to produce an environmentally based collective worship song. 10 children from St Peter’s were joined by children from St John’s Thornham and Milnrow Parish to sing a beautiful song called, ‘Rich Diversity’. This was a wonderful opportunity for our children and they had a fantastic time singing, performing and recording the song. It was amazing to hear the collective voices of our group sing out about such an important topic with great enthusiasm!
Thanks again to Kelly and her Team from ‘Praise Along’ for this opportunity and for members of our diocese for attending and showing their support. We are looking forward to hearing our song when it is published later this year – watch this space!
Our WOW Church members would also like to share the prayer we said at the beginning of our meeting to show our gratitude for our wonderful world:
Dear God,
We praise you for the beauty of creation, its richness and variety.
The earth is yours, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.
Grant us your grace that we may exercise wise stewardship of this Earth; tread lightly upon it and cherish its resources so that in years to come everyone may enjoy its riches.
Please be with us today as we create this song to help spread the word of how wonderful and diverse your creation is.
Help us to restore and care for this beautiful earth you blessed us with.
Amen

Year 4 Visit catalyst-September 2023, by Mrs Cavill
Date: 28th Sep 2023 @ 4:43pm
On Tuesday 26th September, Year 4 visited catalyst Science and Discovery centre.
Today, we completed two workshops and had some time to explore the interactive gallery.
One workshop was called Tasty Toothpaste. We looked at the sugar content of some of the everyday things we all eat and drink. We were very surprised at how much sugar was actually in some of our drinks. We made our own toothpaste and tested it, against shop bought toothpaste. They both did a very good job
The other workshop explored proving that gas exists and that is all around us, as it is harder to observe and see it in comparison to solids and liquids.

Silent Night is a delightful children's nativity set in 19th century Austria, where the villagers of Oberndorf are busy preparing for their Christmas Eve pageant. Amidst the hustle and bustle, they realise that naughty mice have destroyed the church organ. How will they organise music for their special celebrations at such short notice?

On Tuesday 13th September, we completed two workshops and had some time to explore the interactive gallery at the Catalyst Museum in Widnes.
One workshop was based on, "Being a Scientist". Firstly, we explored stereotypes of what a scientist looked like or did and debunked this. Afterwards we went through some areas of what a scientist does: predict, question, observe and evaluate.
The other workshop was called "Glorious Gases." This workshop looked at proving gases actually exist,even though we can't see them. We experimented with this, even making a tiny marshmallow grow bigger!

World Book Day-March 2022, by Mrs Cavill
Date: 7th Mar 2022 @ 3:59pm
On Friday, Year 4 caught up with the rest of the school and we had our World Book Day celebrations. We started the day with some drama games to get us into working in groups and building our confidence to speak and act. Mrs Freeman gave Year 4 the book, "Voices in the Park," by Anthony Browne. This book is about four gorillas, a mother, a father,a son and a daughter from different backgrounds. We had lots of fun looking at pictures of the characters and deciding what kind of person they would be, what they would say, how they would talk. We created our own little scenes and acted them out, before we even read the book. Well done 4C, I was very impressed with your group work today. You worked co-operatively and listened realy ell to each other.
Your costumes as always were fantastic-thanks to parents and carers!
