Clubs & Societies T
here are over 80 different co-curricular clubs and activities at St Peter’s School. Children aged 2-8 can choose from up to 30 activities, with the choice and variety of activities increasing as they move through the school.
Despite the challenges posed by lockdown, many clubs and societies continued remotely providing a welcome distraction for pupils and teachers alike during a difficult time. Here is a flavour of what our clubs and societies have been getting up to this year.
Geology Club (St Peter’s 8-13) The Geology Club is a mixture of J1 to J5 pupils at St Peter’s 8-13 with a keen interest in rocks! This year, they have been looking at different rock types and how they are formed, the formation of fossils and natural disasters that can occur because of plate tectonics. The children were challenged to construct a building that could withstand an earthquake using spaghetti and marshmallows! They tested the theory by rocking the table for 10 seconds. Dance Club (St Peter’s 8-13) In March 2020, our St Peter’s 8-13 Dance Club moved online. Our pupils created a short video to showcase the dance routines that they learnt remotely during the summer term, with help from Ms Veasey. Ms Veasey, Dance Club Co-ordinator, said: “Dance Club has enabled our pupils to remain fit and active at home whilst developing their dance skills. It has been wonderful to see the girls enjoying themselves and responding to the challenge of remote learning with such joy and positivity.” Lily said: “I am so glad we have had Dance Club during lockdown. It’s given me a chance to see my friends and have fun. It has really cheered me up being able to dance and play together when I was missing school.”
