Class Reflection Areas and Learning Environments
St. Peter's provides a caring, learning environment underpinned by Christian faith, belief and values where everybody is given the opportunity to grow and fulfil their true potential, just like the Mustard Seed in the Parable of the Mustard Seed, Matthew 13:32. “Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
At St. Peter’s, we are ‘Growing and Learning together’ so we can become strong and dependable, just like the Mustard Seed, Matthew 13:32. Our Christian Values underpin everything that we do here at St Peter’s. These are: To show love and care to others, To respect other people's beliefs or cultures, To try your best, To be kind and helpful, To be honest in our relationships, To behave with patience and respect and To celebrate our achievement and hard work.
Our Learning Environment is pivotal in promoting our Mustard Seed Vision and Christian Values. Classes from Year 1 - Year 6 have classroom displays that showcase current RE themes. Our Reception class have their own interactive RE area linked to their current RE topic. Staff and pupils are also encouraged to add bible quotes and key questions to classroom displays.
As a school, we have worked closely with the charity Hand 2 Mouth to enhance our Reflection Spaces. These spaces are vital in promoting Spirituality and Reflection.
Reflection areas are changed half- termly and are linked to our Christian values and/or the liturgical calendar.
