Now, I know we are not even in Advent yet, but the pupils at St Peter’s have been busy collecting items of goodwill to send to children around the world in areas of conflict and hardship.  Bringing together essentials and treats, from toiletries to toys, we filled over 50 shoeboxes to give to The Samaritan’s Purse “Operation Christmas Child”. 

Pictured with me here are Clementine and Noah from Year 1, the year group that has been behind this whole-school initiative.  Because these care packages will be travelling many miles across the world, they needed to be packed and sent away in good time for delivery by Christmas.  (I got to the end of this piece with only mentioning the word Christmas twice in November!)

Pupils at St Peter’s have been donating money to this year’s Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

This is always well-supported in school, with the 2022 collection amounting to £435 – that’s a pound per pupil in honour and remembrance of the fallen.

Pictured here are Michael and Sebastian in Year 3 proudly wearing their poppies in front of the library display at the heart of St Peter’s.
