Our Preschool children have been busy this week developing their fine and gross motor skills using a fantastic variety of specialist equipment we have here at school! From climbing and balancing to threading, building and pouring; every activity is carefully designed to support their physical development, confidence and coordination. Little hands and busy bodies getting stronger every day! #StPetersPreschool #EarlyYearsDevelopment #FineAndGrossMotorSkills #LearningThroughPlay #StrongStarts
This week, we've taken full advantage of the sunshine and moved our learning outdoors! From maths in the mud kitchen to storytelling under the trees, our pupils have been exploring, discovering, and learning in the fresh air. There's nothing quite like nature to spark curiosity and creativity! Sunshine, smiles, and a whole lot of learning. #StPetersSchool #OutdoorLearning #FreshAirFocus #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #SunshineAndStudy
Sun, sea and smiles! Our Year 5 & 6 adventurers spent a glorious day at the beach; splashing in the sea, exploring the coastline, and soaking up the fresh sea air. They rounded off the day in true British style... with delicious fish and chips by the shore! #StPetersSchool #BeachDay #CoastalExplorers #Year5and6 #FishAndChipsFun
Our fearless Year 5 & 6 adventurers went deep beneath the earth, exploring ancient caves and navigating the twists and turns of the prehistoric world! In complete darkness, with only head torches to guide them, they crawled, climbed and squeezed through underground passages; conquering fears and showing incredible bravery. An unforgettable journey into the depths... and into their own courage! #StPetersSchool #CavingAdventure #FearlessExplorers #Year5and6 #BraveryBelowGround
Year 2 took their learning out of the classroom today with a delicious trip to Pizza Express at Rushden Lakes! As part of their English topic on writing clear instructions, the children had the chance to follow (and later write) step-by-step guides on how to make their very own pizzas; from dough to toppings to oven! Tasty, practical, and packed with learning; the perfect recipe! #StPetersSchool #LearningByDoing #PizzaInstructions #Year2Adventures #rushdenlakes
A huge shoutout to our amazing Year 5 & 6 adventurers who took on climbing, bouldering, and abseiling with courage and determination! They pushed themselves to new heights, quite literally, and conquered their fears by stepping boldly over the edge. Teamwork, bravery, and big smiles all round. What an unforgettable day! #StPetersSchool #ChallengeAccepted #FearlessLearners #ClimbingConfidence #Year5and6Adventures
Year 3 took their maths learning outside today for a hands-on lesson all about capacity! Using the EYFS outdoor area and water trays, they measured, poured, estimated and compared; all while enjoying the sunshine and a splash of fun! Practical, purposeful and perfect for a sunny day! #StPetersSchool #LearningThroughPlay #MathsOutdoors #Year3Capacity #SunshineAndSTEM
A huge well done to our Reception Class who led their very first Class Assembly this week; and what a fantastic job they did! They confidently told us all about minibeasts, sharing fun facts, songs, and big smiles along the way. It's no small feat standing up in front of a hall full of grown-ups and older pupils, we are so proud of their courage and enthusiasm. What a brilliant boost for their confidence and a lovely way to start the week! #StPetersSchool #ReceptionStars #MinibeastMagic #ConfidenceBuilding
