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

4J visits Orsdall Hall, by Mr Jolly
Date: 15th Jun 2023 @ 4:19pm
The day was centred around rich vs poor Tudor life.
We all started in the hall where a banquet was being served and the children acted out different roles.
We split into two groups: one with Lady Catherine, a rich lady living at the home, and one with Martha, a servant.
Lady Catherine taught the children about the house owner’s life – he was a sheriff and a knight and showed us around his bedroom with his bed costing £20 (worth 60 horses). The children then made a nose gaze, only afforded by the rich.
Martha showed the children the ropes in the kitchen, how to make a spice mix and how they collected water. The also took them on a tour of the gardens.
We came back together at the end to learn some Tudor dancing.
