Year 2 and Year 5 were really lucky yesterday when the Creepy Crawly Roadshow came to St Peter's. Alex showed and talked about all her creatures and we learnt loads! She brought a hissing cockroach, millipede, 2 very big land snails, Rosie the Rose Tarantula and Binky the python!!
Some children from each class were lucky enough to hold one of the creatures and we could all have Binky the snake in either our hands or around our necks. everyonewas very brave and we even found that the creatures weren't as scary as we might have thought before Alex's visit.
Alex's website with lots more information about her animals is... www.creepycrawlyroadshow.com.

This year's KS1 nativity was excellent as always! The story was all about a star who had lost his shine but found it again when he saw Jesus in the manger. Thank you to all staff for their hard work and to all of the children who sang, spoke, acted and danced with gusto!!!
Here are a few nativity photos for you to enjoy!

Kings and camels had to travel a long way in the dark!

On Tuesday the 3rd of February our Year 1 and Year 2 children visited Heworth CLC to spend a day working on computers. Both classes spent the day working through 'modelling' exercises on the computers.
Year 1 began their day experiencing a simulated train journey going onto designing their own trains on the 2Simple computer program.
In the afternoon they used the 'Kahootz' computer program to create Cinderella storyboards. This encouraged the children to use lots of mouse skills including dragging, left-clicking and right clicking.
Jennifer in Year 1 said 'I liked the train ride because it was lots of fun like you were on a real train.' Jenny from Year 1 added 'I really liked making the Cinderella boards because I learnt how to do lots of new things.'
The children in Year 1 have been enjoying looking at traditional tales so much that two members of the class used their area time to write their own version of 'Little Red Riding Hood'.
