Number Bonds
Squirrels have been very busy in Maths learning their number bonds. If you see a Squirrel, ask them if they can tell you a number bond they know!
Fun with Bee-Bots
Squirrels thoroughly enjoyed exploring the exciting world of Bee-Bots. Through hands-on activities, they worked in pairs to program their Bee-Bots to navigate around the classroom. This lesson not only enhanced their understanding of sequencing and problem-solving, but also fostered the important lesson of teamwork. Great work Squirrels!
Psalms
In RE this week, Squirrels have been learning all about Psalms.They have been thinking about whether they thank, praise, ask or say sorry to God. We have even had a go at writing our own. Well done, Squirrels!
Little Litter Warriors
We were very lucky to have Karen from Little Litter Warriors visit us at St. Peter's this week, helping us all understand the impact of littering on our environment. The children have embraced their role as stewards of God's creation, going out to collect litter and learning about the importance of recycling. We're pleased to report that for the recycling activity, we had to bring in some extra litter, as there wasn't much to be found on our playground! Great work!
Class Prayer and Liturgy
Squirrel Class visited our Prayer Garden during Class Prayer and Liturgy this week. We thought about how we can think of others before ourselves, and how this can have a positive impact on how others feel. We finished our Prayer and Liturgy session, saying our own prayers to Mary in the silence of our hearts.
Space Art
Today Squirrels began creating part of their Space collage, using oil pastels to create shades of colour to represent the different planets. We had great fun choosing our colours, but the best bit was smudging them together with tissue paper!

A huge thank you for joining us at our Christmas Workshop! The children were absolutely delighted to have you in school, and they thoroughly enjoyed the time spent crafting with you. Your enthusiasm truly helped make the day special.
Parent Prayer and Liturgy
Squirrels welcomed parents and carers to their Prayer and Liturgy session this morning. They listened to a Bible story about a happy time in Mary's life, linking to their current learning, and then reflected on happy times in their own lives. Together, they sang our Magnificat hymn and to end, they offered heartfelt prayers. A lovely experience for all who attended.
Throwing and Catching!
Squirrels have been practising their throwing and catching skills this week in P.E. Working with a partner, they have worked hard to improve their accuracy and see how many points they could score by aiming the beanbags into the hoops! Great fun had by all!
Choose Respect!
Squirrels celebrated respect in a fun and engaging way. Through art, they explored the importance of respecting themselves and others, and reflected on their understanding of respect, kindness, and inclusion. Well done, Squirrels!
Man on the Moon
Through movement and dance, Squirrels captured the excitement of the first moon landing. With every leap and twirl, they mimicked the astronauts' experience, not only learning about this historic event but also expressing their creativity, connecting with the wonder of space. Well done, Squirrels!
Welcome back, everyone!
We hope you all had a fantastic half-term break, full of fun, rest and maybe even a few adventures! This term, we’re diving back into our space explorations—get ready to discover even more about astronauts past and present! Plus, as the days get shorter and a little more twinkly, we’ll be starting to think about Advent and all the joys of the Christmas season. And of course, one of the most exciting parts… our Christmas play! We can’t wait to see everyone bring their characters to life and make this year’s performance a truly magical experience.
