Well done to all of the pupils at St Peter’s for an amazing carnival this afternoon.  Our whole school celebration was the culmination of brilliant curriculum learning by staff, amazing art by Mrs Pearson, and the support of all you families for supplying costumes of every colour of the rainbow and more.  Special thanks go to Mrs Edge, our Geography lead, for coordinating the learning and carnival.

We were able to hold our carnival as it was an outdoor event, and we kept each year group bubble separate as you can see from this photo.  It is a great shame that we were not able to host families for this event, so do please look at the Year group blogs to see more detailed news and pictures from Mexico (Year R), Antarctica (Year 1), Kenya (Year 2), China (Year 3), Australia (Year 4), India (Year 5), and Brazil (Year 6).

The onset of good weather and summer term 2 has enabled us to run our traditional, and our once in a while, sporting events.

Fitting into the latter category, to coincide with the belated start of the Euro 2020 football tournament, St Peter’s hosted its very own Euro Football day.  In the Year 5-6 combined tournament, congratulations go to the England team that beat Germany in the final on penalties (first time for everything!), whilst Year 4 congratulations go to the Italy team who beat England.  The Year 3 final is still to take place (due to fixture congestion), but Germany will face Italy next week during the Key Stage 2 Sports day.  Great thanks go to Mr Land for organising the tournament, and to all the staff who refereed matches over the day.

And speaking of Sports Days, we were able to host this for Years R, 1 and 2 this week after a fallow year in 2020.  Our brilliant CM Sports staff (https://www.cm-sports.co.uk/) set up all the competitions, so the teaching staff were able to support and encourage our young sportspeople in place of families who were not able to attend due to current Covid restrictions.

It was a true delight to be able to celebrate Mass at school for the first time in 2021 this week.

Pupils in Year 5 gathered, sadly without being able to be joined by families, and welcomed Fr Mark Whiting from the Hayling Island parish of St Patrick’s.  Making use of the Unity Building, as you will see below, we were able to be together as a year group in a really friendly and unified setting for worship.  The theme of the Mass remained on the recent feast of Pentecost, and how children can go forth to spread the word of God thorough the way that they live their lives every day at home, in school and throughout the community.
