To the children of St Peter’s Re-opening of school How are you all? Please know that I and the staff are missing you all. I am positively looking forward to the day when we can be together as a school family. Right now I am very proud of you all. Don’t ever forget that! You may have heard in the news that Mr. Boris Johnson (The Prime Minister) and the government want schools to re-open on the 1st of June for some children with an ambition to be open for all Primary children before the summer holiday. At the moment, (I have sent out a letter to parents/carers today) St Peter’s is attempting to re-open for some children on the 1st June. We are aiming to re-open for children from Pre-school, Reception, Year 1, Year 6 and for those children whose parents are key workers on the front line fighting the virus. I will look into opening for everyone before the summer holiday nearer the time but this decision is not completely up to me – my main priority is to keep everyone safe!
Message
from
Mr Tomlinson.
Email from parents: Sammy’s (slightly burnt) iced ginger biscuits, which he made without any help. He is very proud and is thinking of entering Junior Bake Off next
year...roll on Mrs Marston’s cooking
classes!
Yes go for it Sammy! They look very yummy!
Email from parents: Being three eighths Welsh, Annie is proud to introduce you
to Dewi- The Red Dragon of Cadwallader also know as Y Ddraig Goch.
Bore da Dewi!
Da Iawn Annie!
We are very impressed with your dragon!
Take care space, take care of each other I am busy working out how I can make opening our school the safest it can be for all children and the teachers/adults in school. If we do come back to school, it may feel different to what it was before with extra virus safety rules in place: I will need everyone to remember take care space, take care of each other which means everyone keeping a safe distance, washing hands more frequently and not being all together as large groups. Ultimately, to take care of yourself and each other. For now, remember to be the best you can be at home, take care of each other and make those people who love and care for you, proud. Take Care. Stay safe. Mr. Tomlinson and the St Peter’s Team
Thank You
Thank you Mrs Reid for your thoughts,
generosity and prayers.
Email from parents: For this week’s water
theme Evangeline enjoyed
listening to the story of The Rainbow Fish and then decorating her
own fish.

Email from parents: Flo has been learning to sew and made this
lovely hand puppet. We walked to
Gonalston to visit the fairy garden. Flo has been coming here
since she was tiny. She always takes a gift for the fairies and this time she took a pine
cone. We had a little science lesson on static electricity and the boys loved bouncing to try and make Flo’s hair stand on end. Flo
wasn’t as sure!
Well done Flo, what a pretty fairy garden. Clever sewing and cool science lesson!
Email from parents: Oliver and Josh have been very busy over the last
few weeks doing school work, creative projects, gardening, long
walks, bike rides and lots of playing in the garden. This week they both produced their own acrostic poem about Coronavirus. They came up
with lots of ideas and typed up their final version on the laptop.
They were both very pleased with their final poem.

colours and great clip art !

Miss Peckover’s challenge this week links to the theme of water. You
know how much she likes songs and music, how many song titles make
reference to water? (Rivers, seas, rain would count) For example: Bridge
Over Troubled Water. Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head. Rivers of
Babylon. Ask your parents and write a list OR even better, sing it, record it
and send it. Entertain me!

So news catch up: Anya had slept in a tent in the garden and there was a storm she was also excited about getting a new bike, Jessica slept in the garden and it rained all night, Lily saw a stoat, Amelie got some new wireless headphones & Leila’s dog had a hair cut. Darcy’s cousin had a birthday virtual pub
crawl with mocktails which lasted 8 hours and had a Star Wars theme. The bathroom was Darth Vader, they had Sky Walker Lounge and the conservatory was the Millennium Falcon. Brilliant idea. Abi was dancing on the planet and told us she had a new laptop for her
birthday. Jessica dyed her hair blue and red for V.E Day and took cakes round where she lived for the elderly.
They had a street party and yesterday her dad had his hair cut! Annie saw a white dove on her drive and a
raven on her roof. Lily had skyped her Great Grandma and asked her about V E Day and typed it up. She then read
that out to us. We learnt some interesting facts. Lily also made a spitfire which made a
fly past! Some of the girls had worked out they could type little messages to each other on screen, so it was a very busy
Brownie meeting. Lots of fun.
So this week’s theme was to make a rainbow crown. As you can see we had some
great ones! Snowy’s background was guessed by
many this week. Snowy was in Hagrid’s garden, just in front of his hut! Lots of pets made an appearance this week and
a brother! We played a themed Kim’s game.
