Autumn Has Arrived
A warm start to Michaelmas term. It has been fantastic to have ALL of the children back in school for the start of the Michaelmas term. Autumn is officially here and with it is the usual excitement for Harvest, Children in Need, Halloween, Bonfire Night and... Christmas. The children have enjoyed collecting conkers in the school grounds and the eagerly awaited Conker Championships will be starting soon. Welcome back everyone.

Ready for Summer
As the end of an incredibly busy Trinity term draws to a close, staff say goodbye to the children and begin preparations for the Michaelmas term. The gazebos have been packed away, classrooms returned to 'normal' and everyone is now venturing off on their summer adventures. Have a lovely summer everyone. We will see you all in September.

Socially-Distanced Welcome
Mrs Morris and Mrs Waling welcomed new Reception parents to our first socially-distanced meeting in the freshly decorated Sunnylands Hall. The event was a huge success as parents respected social distancing whilst learning about their child's learning journey at St Peter's. Parents also welcomed the opportunity to meet the new teaching duo. Both Mrs Morris and Mrs Waling are looking forward to September and getting to know parents, and children, even better.

This week's Throwback Thursday includes a page from the hand-written 1948 school magazine (seems as relevant today as it did then), a picture from the 40th year celebrations and a 10 year reunion picture for the Class of 1990. I wonder where they are 30 years later? #tbt

Year 5 have been learning about personification poems with Mrs M. They wrote this one as a class this morning and it seems appropriate to share... RAIN by Year 5 First, the rain started to dribble lightly down my face. The cowardly clouds started to sob quietly, creating miniature puddles. The gloomy clouds started to weep, splashing water everywhere. Grumbling sounds filled the air getting louder and louder... more than I could bear! Suddenly, the clouds erupted with rage! Booming thunder struck with all the cloud's might. The rain fell relentlessly, attacking the people beneath, forcing us to take shelter. BOOM! BANG! The lightning flashed as bright as a newborn sun. Seconds later, the rain settled as the storm clouds drifted away; fading raindrops retreated as the rainbow started to smile.
