We hope you are enjoying your rare three-day weekend. A good opportunity for a rest before the final push – still lots of work to do.

The children had an excellent morning on Sports day. It was lovely to see them being so supportive of the younger members of their team, and they worked hard to help with the clearing up afterwards, too. I hope it will be one of the good memories they take with them when they leave St. Peter’s.

In R.E. we have been learning more about St. Peter, and sixteen children from 6S and 6T performed a short play about his martyrdom during Mass on Thursday. On the subject of drama, our Streetspeare participants will be performing at Butser on Saturday at 11 a.m. Fingers crossed for good weather, and do go and support them if you can.

In Science we have continued our unit on classification, and enjoyed making a key using a variety of sweets yesterday. As far as I’m aware, only one sweet was eaten, which showed admirable restraint. We’ll be testing the system using leaves in our next Science activity.

The week ended with a very successful cake sale. Thank you for once again providing such a wonderful and generous selection of delicious and beautiful cakes. We sold most of them yesterday, and the remainder have been bought today by staff attending INSET. Sadly, I couldn’t sample them all, but to whoever made the lemon drizzle cake – it was perfect. The money will be counted next week.

Another fundraiser on Tuesday afternoon, this time a games hour. I am sure your children will be asking for your help with resources and building.

We hope you have a lovely weekend,

The Year Six team.
