community. The Year 2 children who have been looking at the Stuart period in their theme of ‘Ole York’ have researched the Gunpowder plotters including Guy Fawkes, an old pupil of our school. They have been debating whether they think he was a hero or a villain, and have created the most impressive portraits. I hope you have a wonderful weekend,

photographs below. On Thursday afternoon we had the first music concert of the school year and the first for over 18 months where the children performed to a live audience. The 75+ member choir of Year 2 and Year 3 children entertained the audience at the start of the concert performing brilliant songs, several of them in five parts. Stunning! Then the Year 2 children entertained us with individual performances playing the recorder and piano. I was so proud of the children who performed, they were absolutely brilliant. I look forward to watching the Year 3 children on Monday afternoon and an encore from our amazing Year 2 and 3 choir. My thanks to the parents who attended, it was lovely having you in school. My thanks to Mrs Hayden for

You will have noticed around school stunning sculptures/silhouettes of service men and women. This brilliant project has been brought together over the last few months. The silhouettes were designed by pupils who were also involved in the
organising the concert and to Mrs Clarke who helped the choir and Mrs Leaman-Brown the recorder teacher for preparing the children for the concert. On Wednesday the school hosted an IAPS District Heads meeting. The Heads who attended were impressed with our school and our wonderful children and staff. Thank you to everyone who helped to make the event so successful. Last week was Bonfire night, a special occasion for our school
TUESDAY
Welcome back to school after the half term holiday and I trust you had a wonderful restful break; it was lovely to hear the adventures the children have had whether that was in the UK or further afield. This half term promises to be a busy one in the lead up to Christmas, with Christmas performances, music concerts, sport fixtures, a Christingle service, and social events for parents. Throughout the week we have been teaching the children about the importance of Armistice (or Remembrance) Day and its significance in the world’s history. With fewer and fewer living survivors of the world wars, it is even more important than ever to remember the

The school also have created three honours boards in the Antechapel at St Peter’s School honouring the members of the community that lost their lives during war. You can see the
