We are delighted to announce that we have not one but three winners of the Sienna Manley S.M.I.L.E Award, this year. Sienna Manley was a student here at St Peter's and would have been 21 years old in February. Sadly, she died in 2017 from an inoperable brain tumour. We have a rainbow bench dedicated to her but we would like to remember her and keep her memory alive at school, so we have the Sienna Manley S.M.I.L.E Award. Sienna's parents came up with the name and have suggested what the award should be awarded for: S - supportive friend/ selfless act M- making a difference/ mindful of others' needs. I- including everyone during class/out of class activities. L- listening to others. E- effort at all times. Our worthy winners are: Lucas Baker; Jessica Selby and Frank Robbins-Parker.

We look forward to term starting on Monday 13th April for all students. This will be Week 1.

The Year 8s had a role play workshop about the risks of vaping and smoking cigarettes, today.

Year 7 Art – Exploring Kandinsky! Our Year 7 students have been diving into the colourful world of Kandinsky, one of the pioneers of abstract art. They explored how Kandinsky used shape, colour, and music to express emotions in his artwork and then applied these ideas to their own creative pieces! In class, students learned about: Kandinsky's abstract style and how he believed colours could express feelings Using shapes, lines, and colour contrasts to create mood and movement Developing their own abstract compositions inspired by Kandinsky's famous works The results have been fantastic bold, expressive, and full of imagination! Year 7 showed amazing creativity and enthusiasm throughout the project. Well done, artists!

Year 7 Science – Food as Fuel! This week in Science, our Year 7 students have been exploring how food provides energy and what really happens inside our bodies when we burn fuel to keep us moving, thinking, and growing. Students investigated: Why the body needs energy for every activity we do How different foods contain different amounts of energy How the body "burns" fuel through respiration How activity levels change the amount of energy we use They took part in practical demonstrations and handson tasks to help them understand how chemical energy in food is converted into the energy our bodies need each day. Year 7 showed brilliant curiosity and enthusiasm fantastic work from everyone!

There was more sewing today from the year 6 students as they finish off their aprons.
