Celebrating Year 6 as they leave us for High School. Giving thanks for all that Mrs. Boardman has contributed to the school and wishing her well for the future.

End of term ice cream treat!

We had a great end to last week with children and parents entering our 'Great School Bake Off'. The theme was 'Summer on a Cake' and all of our entrants went above and beyond, producing some marvellous creations. Congratulations to Ava, Poppy and Samuel who were the winners. Thank you to our mystery judge who had a VERY difficult task, our prize donators, all our entrants and the people who bought cake at our sale. We are grateful for your support.

Sports Day and Summer Fair

Recently, all children at SS. Peter & Paul's were given opportunities by a coach from the English Cricket Board to learn new skills and raise their self-esteem, with the possibility of saying 'cricket is a game for me.' All children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hopefully some of our children will go on to play for their local village team, Lancashire or even England.

As part of our understanding of British Values, on Wednesday afternoon, Mrs Walker held a democracy assembly. Children looked at the folktale, 'The Farmer's Cart' and reflected on the messages within the story. We talked about the vote that took part within the story, what voting is as well as the children's own experiences of voting. Children came away with an understanding that democracy is about everyone having a voice and is heard.

Last week we had a visit from Konflux Theatre who provided workshops for all our pupils, looking at recycling and how we can improve and look after our environment. Class 1 had a very interactive session exploring different ways to travel rather than using a car, especially for short journeys. They learnt about global warming and its effects, plastic litter in our oceans and how to reduce reuse and recycle. Class 2 learned about different gases that harm the environment and better ways to travel. The children loved taking part in role-play about littering and landfill. Class 3 looked at all of the above and the effects pollution has on our planet and our health. Thank you to Konflux Theatre for the fun and informative sessions that gave us lots to think about.

Yesterday, our children took part in the TCS Mini London Marathon. Dressed in bright, colourful sports clothing, we raised funds for The Rainbow Hub Mawdesley; as we ran, jogged and walked the 2.6 miles around our school field. Despite some muddy corners, we were fortunate that the sun shone down as we got active, improved our mental health and wellbeing and gave our support to an amazing local charity. Well done to all our children, staff and parents who completed the course - you were superstars.

"The results are in! A huge thank you to everyone for taking part in The Big Plastic Count 2024"

British Science Week Congratulations to all pupils and parents for taking part in The Big Plastic Count, it has highlighted the amount of plastic we use daily and what types of plastic can, and more importantly can't, be recycled. Don't forget to upload your data at home using your class link, or bring in your tally sheet for your teacher to help you. All pupils have taken part in a wide range of science activities, including live NFU farming lessons, STEM investigations along with exciting and interactive science lessons. Class 1 investigated this year's theme of time by using the enquiry type 'observing over time', they made jelly and added different fruits, then observed which set first and last, and discussed reasons why there were differences. They also planted out their runner bean seedlings and sowed companion seeds, planted to encourage the bees. Following the NFU live lesson they sowed pumpkin seeds, designed and created a homemade propagator, and now have a long time to care for them in order to create pumpkin lanterns in October! During the live lesson, children in Class 2 enjoyed learning about what a vet on the farm does and how to take care of a cow. They even witnessed a live birth of a calf, which was very exciting. Children also learnt about food webs and microhabitats. Did you know that cow poo is a microhabitat to thousands of insects? The children found this fascinating (as well as rather disgusting). Class 3 also watched a live lesson set on a farm where a cow was being born – they found this amazing. Throughout the week, Class 3 have also been working on producing an advert for food that has come from Red Tractor assured farms.

We celebrated #LetGirlsPlayFootball today by encouraging our girls to take part in some ball control drills and some mini matches. Despite it being a little cooler than usual all of the girls joined in and thoroughly enjoyed themselves whilst showing off some super skills.

What an AMAZING World Book Day we have had! It was brilliant this morning seeing so many children dressed up as their favourite book characters - well done and thank you! We began the day in the hall with an assembly all about World Book Day. This year, the theme for World Book Day is 'Read Your Way' so we talked about where we love to read, what we love to read and how we love to read. Children then looked at some of the books included with the World Book Day tokens and listened to advice from the authors about ways they like to read. Following assembly, children went back to their classes. Class 1 joined Burnley Youth Theatre in a live Zoom story-telling session, with plenty of interactive opportunities. They listened to the story ‘Charlie Chooses’ by Lou Peacock. A beautifully illustrated book about tricky choices and friendship. A great book exploring the idea of making tricky decisions. Class 2 then joined the next Youth Theatre group where they listened to the story, 'The Incredible Book Eating Boy'. There have been lots of other book themed activities throughout the day from book cover quizzes to entering the World Book Day Design a Token Competition. As well as all of this, children have done a super job on their 'Book in a Jar' competition entries! In the afternoon, the jars were all displayed in the hall within their class groups and children had the opportunity to look at all of them. They then voted for their favourite from each year group - winners to be announced! Thanks again to all of the families for helping to make our World Book Day so fabulous this year!
