Barnaby travelled to three different continents in the half term holiday. Thank you to all three families who took him with them and sent in some lovely photographs to show everybody!
Our Year 5 children were chosen to make the candles for the 'Angel of the North's' celebration of it's tenth anniversary. Artists came in to work with the children for a full day and I'm sure you'll agree some beautiful artwork was created.

Well done everyone and keep up the good work!
Bonjour everyone, we are the members of the fantastic Year Five French club! We meet every Thursday night after school and we are currently learning an exciting poem about the local town. We have learnt some useful phrases such as, "la patinoire," "le cafe," "la discotheque" and "la gare" which are all words in our poem. As soon as we know our poem off by heart we will record it and let you have a listen so keep a look out to see how we are doing! We have even tried some delicious French food such as chocolate filled crepes.
au revoir from Jessica, Alice, Jon, Preet and Miss Alberts
Year 2 are travelling the world this term with Barnaby Bear! Barnaby is a bear who enjoys travelling and visiting different places. So far, we have read stories about him travelling to Australia and found out about all of the exciting things that he did whilst he was there.
We then thought about what he'd need to take with him when he travelled and packed a suitcase for him, after that, we wrote a postcard from him telling everybody all about what he had been doing.

Year Five led today's Ash Wednesday service at St Peter's Church which was dedicated to the memory of Mr Jim Murray, who was deputy head at St Peter's for many years. The mass was a brilliant success and was enjoyed by the whole school, Mr Murray's family and the parish. The children organised the whole mass themselves by choosing hymns and readings. The service was well attended and the whole school sang beautifully. Year Five read confidently and made their teacher, Miss Alberts, incredibly proud. Mr Murray's family who attended the mass commented on how fantastic the children were and how Mr Murray would have really enjoyed it.
Welcome to our new school website! We hope to fill this up with some wonderful stuff ... and this is where you come in!
The school will be visited by the 'Konflux Theatre Group' tomorrow. Four classes will be taking part in various drama based activities throughout the day. Reception Class, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 5 will each have a one hour session with the group. Make sure to find out how it went by visiting our brand new website in the next couple of days.
In order to celebrate Ash Wednesday and to follow the theme of Give, Pray and Fast, it was decided that the children should be rewarded from the teachers. Staff decided to 'Give' the children a treat that was watching the film 'Cars'.
Year three have described their teacher Mrs Temple as simply the best! The children love their lessons and always leave school with huge smiles on their faces. Mrs Temple has been teaching at St Peter's for a number of years and is now an expert at creating a creative fun environment for her children. Year three are always completing exciting and interesting pieces of work and are very knowledgable in all areas of the curriculum. They are currently looking forward to making their first reconciliation this Saturday!
We have two new staff members at St Peters.
Miss Caldwell from New Zealand has joined Year Four while Mrs Hutchinson is away on sick leave and Miss Dews has joined the Reception class while Miss Milligan is on maternity leave.
Both members of staff are awesome and an absolute asset to the school, we are extremely lucky to have them.
What is an Extended School?
Extended schools are schools that provide a range of services and activites often beyond the school day to help meet the needs of their pupils, families and the wider community. By 2010, as part of the Every Child Matters agenda, all schools are to offer access to the core offer of extended schools.
What are Extended Schools Clusters?
Within Gateshead, extended services are being developed in "clusters" made up of a group of primary schools and one secondary school. The clusters are named after the secondary school in that cluster. Special schools are also included in their geographical areas.
St Peter’s is in the Cardinal Hume Cluster.
