Growing Garden, by Mrs Williams
Date: 14th Jul 2026 @ 4:38pm
This term, the whole school has been ivolved in planting a wondeful variety of vegetables that will be ready to harvest in the autumn term. Our Earth Stewards and Gardening Club have worked hard to prepare the growing beds by weeding and waterin gthem, ensuring they were ready for the arrival of different vegetable plugs. together the children planted carrots, leeks, cauliflowers, broad beans, French beans, radishes, beetroot, onions and spinach. Each year group is responsible for mainting both their vegetablebed and their allocated fruit bed, which was planted in previous years, making sure they are kept well watered during this glorious sunshine.
It has been fantatsic to hear so many children sharing that they grow their own fruit and vegetables at home and enjoying producing their own healthy food. Activities like these help develop an understanding of where food comes from, encouraging healthy eating, and inspiring them to care for the environment.
The children throuroughly enjoyed taking part in this project and are excited toobserve their plants grow over the summer and see the results hen they retun in September. We can't wait to harvest the vegetables in the sutumn and celebrate everyone's hard. well done to all the children, our Earth Stewards and the Gardening Club for their entusiasm, teamwork and dedication to caring for our school garden. Well done St Peter's!

Sir David Attenborough 100th birthday celebrations, by Mrs Williams
Date: 11th May 2026 @ 3:42pm
On Friday, we celebrated the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. We learned about who he is and all the wonderful things he has done to help save our planet and teach people how important it is to care for the Earth. We linked our learning to God’s creation, remembering that God created humans on Day 6 to look after and care for His wonderful world. Our learning also linked to the book Duffy's Great Escape, which tells the story of a sea turtle who ate a plastic bag in the ocean. Our classroom was transformed into an ocean and beach filled with rubbish that had been thrown into the sea. We created sea turtles using 2D and 3D shapes and went outside to learn about the life cycle of a sea turtle. We have all made a pledge to help save sea turtles and look after our planet.
