What an amazing day we had! The children were fantastic and represented St Peter's impeccably. As part of a 5,000-strong children's choir, they sang and danced their hearts out all day.
We had the great privilege of singing alongside incredible performers, including Harriet Rose, a former Young Voices pupil, who I am sure inspired our children to believe that they can achieve anything they set their minds to. The children were also thrilled to have the opportunity to dance with Urban Strides, who aim to inspire young people through the power of dance.
We are authors! Class 2 enjoyed editing and publishing their stories, proudly creating their very own books.
In geography, we are exploring the features of rivers. We were very fortunate to have a visit from the 'River and Canal Trust', who helped us to start the topic off in a fun and engaging way. The children were able to investigate the different features of a river and compare them to those of a canal. Some of the children were also able to dress up as Navvies!
In Science, we have been exploring sound. We know that sound waves travel through the three states of matter — ask us what they are! We also discovered that sound travels as vibrations in waves. We had great fun experimenting with popcorn and drums to deepen our understanding.
In English this term, Class 2 are learning to write their own instructions. This week we have focussed on creating a text map for our class instructions - 'How to Trap a Stone Giant'. The children then created their own actions to help them remember the text.
