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!

Exploring Teen Numbers, by Mrs Perry

Date: 30th Apr 2026 @ 11:32am

In Reception, the children have been learning about teen numbers through simple games. We used a egg box as a ten frame by filling it with ten pon-poms so children can see a full ten. Then, extra pom-poms are added to show numbers like 11 or 15 as “ten and some more.” Playing games, such as rolling a dice and adding more objects, helped children understand teen numbers in a fun and practical way.
