Family Service

We enjoyed a lovely Family Service at

St. Peters Church this Sunday. Revd
Anne used the story of Jeremiah to
relate to the children how they can be
moulded by God to have purpose and
do good. Here are Alice and Poppy with
the pots that all the children got to
make.
Whats been happening in school this week?
Newsletter - 17th September 2014
St Peters
Church of England Primary School
Too much to celebrate!
Wow! Ive had such a steady stream
of people sent to me for awards this
week. It seems the children have
started the new term with an
excellent attitude! Check out all of
our winners below.
Poppys brave act!
Lots of famous pupils to celebrate this week. My office has
never been so busy!! What is important is that these children
have worked hard and put in added effort. They were:
Finlay for his enthusiasm and great attitude; Chelsea for her
maths; Raif, Oscar, Marni, Poppy, and Jack for their super
space work; Harvey, Joshua, Cleo, Lilly, Thalia-Rose, Jonathan
and Felix - some cracking writing; Otto, for his maths (and in
particular challenging himself); Imogen, Frank and Ruby
looking proud for some super science; Maybel and Lois for
their home learning (did you know cavemen wrote with
poo!?!); Eliza and Ashley for their Tour of Britain art work
wow!! Evelyn and Lola for their puppet show; Shay and Ayla
for their Maths; Miia, Thomas, Ollie and Lois (again!! New
record!!) for their good RE work
on feelings; Ryan for making
cavemen weapons (and
threatening to get me!!); Marliyah
for her home learning on
cavemen; and George for his
logical maths work. Well done to you all!
Tour of Britain excitement!
A big thanks to our parent volunteers who enabled us to
take the whole school down to the town to watch the Tour
race by. It was very exciting, inspiring and also enabled the
children to come back to school and produce some great
learning. A big well done to our racers too. They
represented the school superbly.
I was extremely proud of Poppy when I
discovered that she has done something
quite amazing. For the whole week of
Sidmouth Folk Festival she busked to
raise money for Clic Sargent, a charity
very close to her heart. Well done
Poppy: she raised 114....so far.... :)
Mythical Maze stars
Take a look at all these children
who completed the Devon Library
Summer Reading Challenge. Its a
lovely way to encourage a love for
reading, and a nice way to earn a
medal! We praised everyone in
our Celebration Worshipso well
done!
Sport Stars

these children who I
rewarded for their
summer holiday

Did you know about?
The Podour eco team needs your help!
St. Peters have recently joined an EDF initiative called 'The Pod' which offers an online space
where children can take part in eco challenges and share their work online via our own blog
page. The Pod runs three national campaigns each year to help engage schools, parents and
local communities in green projects. If anyone feels they may be able to offer some support to
our green team please see Miss Back in Year 3. The first of these projects is energy month
in November. We will update the blog page regularly so keep checking to see what we have
been doing to make our school greener.

Some important information
You will have noticed that we are now lining up in a different place to make life easier.
When the whistle goes could you give your children a nice goodbye and then move away,
so it is easier to line them into class please. Thank you!
Please do see me or the other leaders with any messages on the playgroundI can take
these into classes or other staff to save you the time of having to go into the office.
We have a skip in to have a good clear out....which will include any bikes or scooters that
have been abandoned for a while. Any unclaimed by Monday will be thrown out!
Please note: Jigsaw Club starts after half term and not next week.
