Peer massage

In Year 4 today, we have been giving each other massages ! Mrs Robson visited our school today to show us lots of different massage strokes.
We have learned the eye glasses stroke, the cat grip and the baker.
We had great fun ! Here are some of the words that we feel best described our first session ; relaxing, calming, peaceful, cosy and comfortable.
Mrs Robson will be visiting our school again soon to teach us a few more strokes, we can't wait !

Fun at the Great North Museum Hancock

Year 4 had a fantastic time at the Hancock Museum at the end of last term. Our day began with a workshop all about the skeleton. Mrs Brand was very proud of us as, She thinks we are so clever! We saw lots of different animal skeletons and were even able to touch some of them, although we had to do this very carefully as many of the skeletons were very fragile.

We then had the opportunity to explore the museum. We travelled through time looking at many prehistorc animals, travelling through the Roman era and even just managed to avoid a shark !

Sally Prue

We were very lucky today. Sally Prue, author of James and the Alien Experiment, The Truth Slayer and Cold Tom and many more other exciting books, visited Years 4, 5 and 6.
She told us lots of funny and exciting stories about how she became a childrens author and we even had the opportunity to have our books signed by her.

Sally was very impressed by all of the children at St Peter's and has even asked if Year 4 could send her copies of the writing they have done during their literacy lesson. The missing chapter of 'James and the Alien Experiment'. We are so excited !

Bird Watch

As you can see, winter is here and Year 4 have decided that we have to give our little feathered friends some help this winter. So as part of our creative curriculum, 'habitats', we have decided to observe the different kinds of birds in our environment.

We had great fun making bird cakes last week. It was a little messy but great ! We all have a diary to keep and a fact file to compile of all the different birds we see. We may need to visit the library, do some research on the computer or even take some photographs.
We are going to present our diary to our class on the last week of term. We can't wait !
We hope you enjoy working with us observing the beautiful birds in our own environment.

Music in Year 4 !

Year 4 are having great fun this term in music. They have begun to learn how to play the violin. We know the names of the different parts of the violin, the names of the strings and we are learning lots of new songs to play along with. We will keep you posted about any performances later on in the year.

St Francis Liturgy

On the 4th of October we celebrated the feast of St Francis. Year 4 celebrated in school by preparing a liturgy for the school and parents. The children were instrumental to the organising and preparation of the liturgy. they wrote their own prayers and psalms and even choreographed the dancing. They were brilliant. I was very proud of them !

First Holy Communion

Our Year 3 celebrated their First Holy Communion on Sunday 8th June 2008. The weather was fine and the children were fantastic! Everyone remebered what the day was really about and the children delighted all their families, friends and visitors with the way they read, sang and danced. Well done to all of Year 3 especially Mrs Temple who prepared the children so well! Thanks also to Father Michael and Father Kefa for helping to make the day so special.

Miss Savoury joins Year 3.

Year 3 are looking forward to working with Miss Savoury for the next few weeks. Miss Savoury is a Final Year student from Sunderland University, who will be working in Year 3 for five weeks. After her initial visit to school, she was impressed by the politeness and good behaviour of the children and she is working hard to match names to faces.

The children will be continuing to prepare for First Holy Communion by working through their "I Belong" books with Mrs. Temple. Time is passing quickly and it will soon be 8th June!
