The Ethos Council - The St.Peter's Pebbles
Here at St Peter's Church of England Primary School, our Ethos Council have a very important job. The Ethos Council are elected members who work hard to enusre that our 'ethos' and 'christian values' underpin everything that we do. They rasie funds for charities charities locally and globally. Also, ecery break time, and lunch time, they display the Christian Values of 'Friendship' and 'Compassion' towards children in the playground who may be feeling lonely or finding it difficult to join in with their friends.
Jesus said to Peter, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church..." Matthew 16:18. We believe, that through teaching all of the Christian Values, these children are 'small rocks' which will support Jesus' teachings - they are St Peter's Ethos Council, the St.Peter's Pebbles.

The Prayer Garden Grand Opening
Willow Wood fundraising launch
We have chosen to raise money for Willow Wood for the calendar year 2018.
Chris from Willow Wood came in to launch our fundraising year with a special assembly. Woody even came too!
Some of our children will also be taking part in a special linking project with Willow Wood, starting in May.
Class fundraising projects
Our new prayer garden
Our new prayer garden is a place for all the children to reflect and pray. It is also a place for us to think about and remember the people we love.
Our children and staff, facilitated by the Ethos council, have all worked hard to design and create our prayer garden. In council meetings and classes we have thought a lot about how we want our garden to be used.
In November the Ethos council children led the grand opening of our prayer garden. We were very glad that we were joined by Reverend George, Mrs Hussain and some of our children, staff and governors.
Our prayer garden guardians and all our children are now stewards of our special new reflection area.
Willow Wood fundraising
Spring: We've had messy hair days and non-uniform.
Summer: We've completed our class fundraising projects. Well done to every class for their efforts. Well done to Mrs Fothergill and Mrs Wassel for raising even more money by abseiling down IKEA! Woody came in to see how we'd done.
To finish the year, we are having a World Cup sponsored football tournament.
