You can follow us Unfortunately Wednesday’s Gamelan workshop for the Year 1 children was cancelled by York University however, Billy Hickling has agreed to lead a musical workshop on Monday afternoon for the Year 1 children. St Peter’s 13-18 children have their Cabaret concert tonight. I have been fortunate to watch their rehearsals this week and the show sounds fabulous! It is tremendous to watch the children who started their school career at St Peter’s 2-8 who have the musicality and confidence to perform so capably. The children at St Peter’s 2-8 have so much to look forward to on their journey through St Peter’s school. Next week there will be a link to the concert– I am sure you will all enjoy it.
What a week we have had at St Peter’s 2-8. The children have had such a wonderful time as they head towards the end of their learning themes and the end of the academic year. On Monday Nursery, Year 2 and 3 had the wonderful Billy Hickling, an original member of the musical Stomp, who delivered the most fantastic ‘Trash Bang’ workshop. The children were amazed by his short performances and thoroughly On Tuesday we hosted our Sports Day. enjoyed making music with Billy and their Reception and Year 1 competed in the classmates. morning and Year 2 and Year 3 in the afternoon. The day was just brilliant! The children all did their very best for their house teams, all in the best spirit and all with smiles on their faces. It was so lovely to be able to allow paretns to spectate both in person and via our live streaming platform, Planet eStream. Whether virtually or in person, there was a wonderful atmosphere and the children absolutely loved it. These events don’t just happen, and thanks are due to the catering team for keeping each ‘bubble’ of parents fed and watered, the estates and grounds team for setting up the events, the staff at school who ensured the children were in the right place at the right time and our IT staff Adam and James who baked in the sunshine recording the event for everyone to watch

A final huge thank you to the Friends of St Peter’s 2-8, who generously donated the house t-shirts that were such a fantastic success. On Wednesday it was the turn of our Nursery Conkers to participate in their Nursery showcase. Once again it was delightful watching the children enjoy the event all with beaming smiles. Than k you to the parents who attended and to the staff for supporting the children and to Miss Flockhart and Miss Beaumont for their energy, enthusiasm, humour and skill to coordinate 30+ three and four year old children so effortlessly. Another brilliant
event. During a meeting with the house captains, the decided that it would be a good idea for the whole school to go to the beach! Obviously we agreed, but suggested we might have to bring the beach to school. This resulted in Beach Day, held yesterday at St Peter’s 2-8. In our year groups we enjoyed playing on the inflatables including an assault course, a bouncy castle, a ball pool and a bungee run. Our catering team created a fabulous fish and chip lunch served in traditional newspaper cones and we even had an ice-cream van after lunch for the children and staff to enjoy ice lollies and ice-creams. It was such a brilliant day and once again my thanks to all of the staff who organised the event and to the house captains for their excellent idea.
Next week we have our grand Exhibition, Trash Bang Workshop in Year 1, year group discos, Nursery Graduation (online via Zoom -/ in person) and final assembly. My thanks to the whole school community who are providing such a memorable and special end of the term. Have a wonderful weekend, Best wishes,
