As part of our artwork on sculpture, we created mini installation spaces inspired by the work of artist Cai Guo-Qiang.
Have a look at the results here:

Passion play
Today we had a visit from Dolphin Academy, teaching us all about water safety and what to do in case of an emergency.

These helped us to learn more about the beliefs and daily lives of those who lived in the Greek city states.
To celebrate Science Week at St Peter’s, we have welcomed visiting scientists who have shared their knowledge and taught us more about the importance of science in our everyday lives.

Today we’ve been out with City of Trees, helping to plant over 200 saplings on the school field - a mixture of cherry, birch, crab apple and oak.
As part of our work on Space, we took part in an online workshop today which taught us about satellites and how space junk is removed, amongst other things. This was an interactive workshop as we answered questions and made decisions along the way.
