free donations for your favourite cause. Just start your online shopping first at easyfundraising, then shop as normal. Retailers will then make a small donation to say “thank you”. There are over 6,109 retailers to choose from and so far, the site has raised over £35 million for thousands of community groups, sports clubs, schools, and small & large charities across the UK! Anything raised through this site will go directly to the school charity. If you would like to help in this way there are further details later in the newsletter. This evening, the Friends of St Peter’s 2-8 have organised a wreath making evening and it promises to be a wonderful occasion.
Today we had a collection of clothes and garments; this will be collected and recycled and proceeds will go to the School Charity. Finally, as you will be aware the children have designed Christmas Cards and if you have ordered some, I have been told that these will be arriving at school either this week or next. During the week, the Friends of St Peter’s 2-8 met and planned events for next term including a quiz evening for parents and a Valentine Disco for the children. My thanks to the group for all they do for the children and parents at school. In the Tuesday reminder email this week, there was incredibly detailed arrangements for the end of term Christmas events. If you have any queries about these, please do not hesitate to contact school. Today a group of children had the opportunity to visit the Minster to help raise the Advent Wreath. The school Council and House Captains made their way to York Minster and assisted placing the exceptionally large candles on the wreath and helped raise it into position. It was such a wonderful opportunity for the children to participate in and my huge thanks to the Minster staff who welcomed the children so warmly. This morning I had the truly fortunate opportunity to shadow a VI Form student in their lessons at St Peter’s. It was a fascinating experience being in lessons of A Level Geography, English and Business Studies. The children at St Peter’s 2-8 have so much to look forward to over their school journey at St Peter’s. Remember it is exeat weekend and therefore there is no Reception swimming on Saturday. Have a wonderful weekend. Best wishes,

On Friday evening last week, the Friends of St Peter’s 2-8 had their first social event of the year and the first since the Covid-19 pandemic. There were over 60 parents who attended a ‘Piggy Racing’ event in the Dining Hall that was an enormous success. My thanks to all the Friends of St Peter’s 2-8 who organised the event raising money for our school charity, Children’s Heart Surgery Fund and also funds for the added extras for the children in school. Our school charity was nominated by one of our children and has been selected as our school charity for two years. Of any money raised by the Friends of St Peter’s 2-8, a third will go to the school charity. However, the Friends of St Peter’s 2-8 also have an Easy fundraising site.
