Black History Month, by Mrs Parry
Date: 20th Oct 2026 @ 3:49pm
As part of our Black History Month learning, we explored Coming to England by Floella Benjamin. Through her inspiring story, the children discussed the emotions someone might experience when moving to a new country or community, including excitement, nervousness, sadness and hope. We thought carefully about what it might feel like to leave familiar people, places and belongings behind and begin a new chapter somewhere different. The children also imagined what they would choose to take with them if they had to move to another country, reflecting on the special people, treasured items and memories that make us feel safe and connected. This thoughtful learning helped us to develop our empathy, celebrate diversity and appreciate the importance of belonging.

Gymnastics, by Mrs Parry
Date: 19th Oct 2026 @ 3:38pm
In our gymnastics lessons, we have been learning how to use space appropriately. We have been practising moving safely around the hall, being aware of others and making sure we have enough space to perform our movements. We have also been developing our balancing, travelling and creating different shapes, while remembering to control our bodies and move safely. We have been learning the importance of listening carefully to instructions and responding quickly to signals, such as stopping and starting safely. We are developing our awareness of others, sharing the space sensibly and following instructions to help keep everyone safe during our gymnastics activities.
Being the Good Soil, by Mrs Perry

The children have been learning about the Parable of the Sower and exploring the story of The Good Soil. Through thoughtful discussions, we considered how we can be like the good soil in our St Peter’s school community by being kind, caring, helpful and listening to others. The children shared their ideas about how we can help ourselves and others to grow and flourish through our everyday actions. We also enjoyed exploring the tuff tray with our friends, developing our communication, cooperation and sharing skills through play.

History: Human Timeline, by Mrs Perry
Date: 16th Oct 2026 @ 11:22am
The children have been learning about the human timeline, exploring how people change and grow throughout their lives. They enjoyed ordering pictures to show the different stages of human development, from babies to older adults. Through lots of discussion, they developed their understanding of the timeline and learned new vocabulary to describe each stage. The children shared their ideas, made observations and used their growing vocabulary to explain their thinking.
Magnet Investigation, by Mrs Perry
Date: 9th Oct 2026 @ 3:08pm
The magnetic investigation was carried out to explore how magnets attract or repel certain objects. The children were given a selection of everyday objects and magnets and were encouraged to predict which objects would be attracted to the magnet. They tested each object practically, observed what happened, and recorded their results by sorting the objects into two groups: magnetic and non-magnetic. The children discussed their findings and compared their predictions with the actual results, developing their observation, prediction and recording skills through hands-on exploration.

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!
