Church visits, by Miss Hulse
Date: 15th Oct 2024 @ 4:44pm
The children had a lovely service in church this morning. We foccused on harvest and how we need to be thankful for all the food we have, even if we do not like it.
The children read:
Luke 17:11-19
Jesus Heals Ten Men with a Bad Skin Disease
11 Jesus went on His way to Jerusalem. He was passing between the countries of Samaria and Galilee. 12 As He was going into one of the towns, ten men with a bad skin disease came to Him. They stood a little way off. 13 They called to Him, “Jesus! Teacher! Take pity on us!” 14 When Jesus saw them, He said, “Go and show yourselves to the religious leaders.” As they went, they were healed. 15 One of them turned back when he saw he was healed. He thanked God with a loud voice. 16 He got down on his face at the feet of Jesus and thanked Him. He was from the country of Samaria. 17 Jesus asked, “Were there not ten men who were healed? Where are the other nine? 18 Is this stranger from another country the only one who turned back to give thanks to God?” 19 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up and go on your way. Your trust in God has healed you.”
They also wrote personal prayers on different vegetables linking to Generosity and God’s Bountiful Harvest.

Crucial Crew - Year 6, by Miss Hulse
Date: 4th Oct 2024 @ 10:38am
Year 6 had a wonderful time at Crucial Crew yesterday. Crucial Crew is a multi-agency safety event aimed at Year 6 children, this is designed to provide children with life skills that will enable them to keep themselves and others safe. It is generally accepted that children start to become more independent at this age and are often expected to cope increasingly on their own and deal with changes in their lives, such as a move to Secondary school. The aim of our Crucial Crew event is to raise each participant's awareness of threats and dangers, in a fun and interactive way.

WOW Church Summer Presentation to the Diocese, by Mrs Brandwood
Date: 12th Jul 2024 @ 4:00pm
Our 2 WOW Church members visited St Chad's Church in Middleton to delivered a presentation, alongside our group members from St John's Thornham and Milnrow Parish Primary School, to over 40 diocese representatives. The children explained and showed the diocese the various projects we have worked on this year, set up an environmental challenge for the parishioners to complete and then sung our song, 'Rich Diversity'. Each child represented their school brilliantly and the Dean of Rochdale was so impressed with the way the children conducted themselves during the presentation. The diocese is taking on board the children’s suggestions of a Plastic Policy in every church and we look forward to next year's group where we hope to again make a difference to the environment of our churches in Rochdale.

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
