St Peter's Charity Football Match- Friday 27th June

St Peters school are hosting a charity football match on Friday 27th June in which both ourselves and St Bede’s have been invited to take part in. The match is due to start between 3:45-4:00 and the event will finish around 5:30pm. The event will take place on the field of St Bede’s High School (which is also shared by St Peters)

This is an optional invitation but we would love to bring enough children to take part and help make this a memorable evening. A large full football match will be played with rotating teams throughout the match. This a call out to everyone who is currently in the school football teams this year- Boys A Team, Boys B1 and B2 and Girls team.

If enough people are interested, there is a possibility of there being a parents game as well! (Teachers included).

Please take the time to read about Patrick’s story and complete the form below if you are interested.

‘We are raising money to celebrate and honour the life and legacy of our beloved friend and coworker Patrick McCready.

Whilst working at St. Peter’s as our site supervisor, Patrick undertook the role of Girls Football Coach due to his experience and passion for the sport.

Every week, he would take to the field to coach the girls, and take them to their matches with other local primary schools.

However, his love for the game was not just saved for his beloved U11s team. It was a mainstay of our school. From chanting songs with the children on the playground to talking to pupils about the weekend’s results, Patrick’s love for football was clear and he shared it with all.

As such, in his memory, we will be raising funds for Rosemere Cancer Charity. This will take place through various means but will culminate on the 27th June, when we will be hosting a football match in his name.

This will allow our school community to celebrate his life, his passion and the impact he had on so many of our pupils.

All funds raised will go to Rosemere Cancer Charity, a cause close to Patrick’s family, supporting vital cancer care and services in our local community.

Please donate what you can and help us make a difference in Patrick’s name.’

Year 5 Weekly Blog 16.05.25- ‘A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down’

What a week it has been! The weather has been even warmer so play has been super exciting outside basking in the sun and lots of learning continues to take place inside the classroom. The end of the week’s focus all turned to Year 5 as we hosted our Krispy Kreme Donut Fundraising Day. Lots of children helped contribute to organising the event such as picking up boxes from the office, selling and packing donuts and delivering boxes to class.

With the day invested so much into donuts, we spent the morning out in the sun as some children walked to the promenade for their swimming gala trials whilst everyone else had an extra day of forest school!

This week, we have been learning…

  • Maths- We have been smashing 2 digit x 2 digit numbers with lots of children having a go at 3 digit x 2 digit. We have continued to practice multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 by shifting our digits across place value columns. This will come in handy as we move onto percentage of amounts next week.




  • English- we have began writing our final discussion question after finishing our planning and collecting of research at the beginning of the week. It has been brilliant to see the children take more care of their presentation and really focus on their handwriting.




  • History- It has been all things ‘witches’ in this weeks crime and punishment lesson. We looked into why so many people believed in witches in the 15th Century. We did this by conducting our very own witch hunt in search for the answers. We had fun going through the ‘how to spot a witch’ checklist, can you remember what was on it?




Conversation starters

  • RE- We have been testing our conscience with some moral dilemmas in class. Do your parents know any good moral dilemmas that they can put you to the test with?





  • English- We have began our discussions text topic and have been creating points of view for our school themed questions.

    Should all children learn how to swim?

    Share with your parents the reasons we came up with - for and against.

Year 5 Weekly Blog 09.05.25- 'Our first duty is to communicate the beauty and joy of knowing Jesus'- Pope Leo XIV

In RE, we have looked at the story of the ‘Lost Son’ or ‘The Prodigal Son’. We reflected on the selfishness of the son and the greed his possessed but more importantly the forgiveness of the father in his return. The children were able to link the ripple effect to this and explain how actions, good or bad, have consequences.

It may have been a short week but what a week it has been, certainly one to remember in the history books. From Wednesday onwards, we have been glued to the BBC live stream of the Conclave as we were anticipating the release of smoke from the Sistine Chapel. It was fitting that on Thursday, the day of the Pope’s announcement, that we were in celebrating of VE Day 80. The school gathered together in unison during a picnic and moments of reflection.

Apologies for last weeks lack of photos so here is two weeks of Year 5 loving life in forest school!



This week, we have been learning…

  • Maths- We been smashing short division with 3 digit x 1 digit numbers and have also been looking at how we can multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.



  • Science- We have finished Newton’s 3 laws of motion with us diving into his third and final law of action/reaction and looking at how this applies to real life examples.



  • History- We have begun our new topic of Crime and Punishment this week as we look back through a 800 year journey into how both crime and punishment has changed throughout history.


  • PE- We have been applying our teamwork skills and knowledge of counter balances to perform these using apparatus.


Conversation starters

  • RE- We have been testing our conscience with some moral dilemmas in class. Do your parents know any good moral dilemmas that they can put you to the test with?

Year 5 Weekly Blog 25.04.25- 'We must live in faith, not only by our words but with our actions'- Pope Francis (1936-2025)

What a beautiful first week back it has been in school. So much reflection has taken place with us as a school coming together to celebrate the life of Pope Francis. Both in worship and in lesson, we have reflected on his life as Pope and have looked at the roles and responsibilities that this brings. We have also been lucky enough to have the Our Lady of Lourdes statue with us during the holy pilgrimage. We have reflected on the story of Mary and Bernadette and have created some lovely prayers and art work to resemble this.

Our second week of forest school is now underway, with all three groups now experiencing the wonders of outdoor education.

This week, we have been learning…

  • Maths- We have been using our mental maths to calculate the area of rectangles and also going beyond 12 x 12 by using written method.

  • Science- We have continued with our forces topic by discussing our understanding of motion. We have looked at historical scientists who first developed theories around movement and we have been testing their hypotheses.

  • Music- It is all things musical theatre this half term! We began by learning about the make up of MT such as its three components along with the roles within MT. We began to create a history timeline of how musical theatre has changed throughout time and listening to different types of MT.

  • Reading- We have started our new class novel of ‘The Suitcase Kid’ by Jacqueline Wilson, where we look into the life of a 10 year old girl handling big changes within her family.



Conversation starters

  • RE- We have been looking into the life of Pope Francis and discovering how Pope’s are granted a coat of arms, which is a badge/emblem to represent your name. Talk to your parents and grandparents and see if your family name has a coat of arms.



  • English- We have began our discussions text topic and have been creating points of view for our school themed questions.

    Are class council sessions necessary?

    Should homework be doubled or banned completely?

    discuss these with your parents and see what they think.



Let’s Celebrate

Learning certificate for being focused and cooperative goes to Logan: Over these past couple of weeks, we have seen a change in your attitude and choices Logan.
