Thank you for all of the donations we received on our Christmas Jumper Day! Pictured here is just a small selection of the tins, packets and treats that were brought in by the children in return for wearing a wide and wild variety of Christmas jumpers. All of these products will go to Waterlooville Foodbank at Wecock Church in time for Christmas.

Pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 had a very special assembly on Friday afternoon presented by two engineers from the supercar manufacturer McLaren. Our visitors explained to the children the history of the McLaren company, plus details on the work that goes on today at the company headquarters in Woking.

At each fortnightly celebration assembly, pupils from each class are awarded a Golden Key for showing behaviours that live out our school Mission Statement. As an added bonus in this assembly, each Golden Key recipient also received some snazzy McLaren merchandise to wear.

After the assembly, each class in Years 4, 5 and 6 then had a chance to get a close up view of a McLaren Artura, being guided through the vehicle by the two specialist engineers.

It was a great visit to inspire pupils in the field of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), and fitting to have McLaren visit on the weekend that the company secured their first Formula 1 constructor’s championship in 26 years with Lando Norris’ victory at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Thanks go to Miss Sheppard for coordinating the visit, and of course to the McLaren engineers who brought their knowledge and their car to St Peter’s.

The season of Advent has been well and truly begun by the girls and boys who make up St Peter’s School Choir.

The choir sang at two events in Waterlooville town centre – the switching on of the Christmas lights and the Christmas Market (pictured here).

Previous to these two events, the choir joined pupils from other Catholic primary schools in the Portsmouth area to record a Christmas Card Video which will be sent out on behalf of the Edith Stein Partnership of Catholic Schools. Next on the choir’s schedule is to perform at the school Carol Service on Wednesday 18th December at 6:30pm at the Church of the Sacred Heart and St Peter the Apostle on London Road in Waterlooville, before finishing the term with and afternoon performance for the residents of Oaklands Care Home on Stakes Hill Road just opposite the school.

Well done to all of the pupils involved for their hard work, and thank your to Mrs Knight and Mrs Moore for all they do in practicing with our singers and arranging such exciting public performances.
