Creative and co-operative learners having fun!
To bring the Autumn Term to a fantastic finale, on the last afternoon in school the Year 6 pupils shared and played their Christmas themed board games with children from Year 3. These games were incredibly creative and included ‘Elf-opoly’, ‘Trees and Stockings’ and ‘Elf-the board game’ to name but a small selection.
It was lovely to see enthusiasm and co-operation in abundance as the games found their winners! See for yourselves below!
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The appliance of science…
Amongst many other aspects of learning taking place in Year 6 thus week, a highlight was the children learning how to manipulate formulas in spreadsheets and produce their own graphs of results.
Having investigated the question, ‘Do taller people have a larger lung capacity?’, the children tabulated their results and then chose to represent them in the form of a scattergraph! They were also able to include a trendline which was very helpful in them seeing the relationship between height and lung capacity.
Would you know how to do this in Excel?
Have a great weekend
The Year 6 Team
Teamwork much in evidence at the Yr 5/6 World Cup!
A fantastic morning of football was enjoyed by the majority of children in Years 5 and 6 as they competed in balanced teams to win the St Peter”s World Cup. Five teams had made it through to the group stages: England, Germany, Brazil, Portugal and Spain. England came out on top with a solid 7 points, mirroring the success of our own team England in Qatar. However, it wouldn’t be a world cup without an upset … and what an upset it turned out to be – Brazil, the bottom in the group, storming through to beat England in a penalty shootout!
The children all agreed that they had had a fantastic morning, and Coach Land praised them all for their sportsmanship and teamwork – qualities that made the tournament enjoyable for all and a great success.
