Plenty of varied activities for pupils her at St Peter’s in the last week.  A selection of Year 6 pupils gave a wonderful assembly about a project they carried out at the Living Well Centre at the Rowans Hospice.  My thanks go to Mrs Pearson for organising the project, and to the staff and volunteers of the Rowans who facilitated it.  At the other end of the spectrum, our Year R pupils set out on their first school trip this week.  They walked to (and back from!) Waterlooville library, adding to the love of books that Mrs Domblides is already instilling in them.  Thank you not only to the St Peter’s and Waterlooville library staff for arranging the visit, but also to the family volunteers who helped to supervise the pupils on the journey.

And speaking of volunteers, we have launched an appeal in November’s newsletter for parents, carers or relatives of pupils in school who may be able to offer up to 90 minutes a week to either hear children read or play maths games with pupils.  Please see the latest newsletter for details of how to contact Mrs Pelling and offer your services as one of your early New Year’s resolutions!
