Rev. Janet led our worship as we welcomed a local resident who received Maundy Thursday money at the recent service held at Leicester Cathedral. We heard all about why the Queen hands out coins each year and how the people who receive the money are chosen. The children were interested to hear all about the experience and see the various items given out on the day.
The children in four plus, year one and year two had a brilliant time looking at dinosaur bones and considering how palaeontologists work. The afternoon then involved a very exciting meeting with two dinosaurs, Sophie the teenage Tyrannosaurus Rex and Chewy the baby Tyrannosaurus Rex.
All of the school enjoyed the build up to Easter with various activities taking place. The pupils in year three, four and five put on a wonderful performance of their play “Roll Back the Stone”.
The children took part in our Easter activities morning where they had the chance to work with pupils from all of the different year groups. After that each class had fun completing the Easter Egg hunt organised by Friends of Church Langton.
Our Easter service at St Peter’s was led by Rev. Janet and was a lovely way to bring the term to an end.
Well done to the year five and six boys football team who completed the latest round of fixtures in the Market Harborough league. The team played well, drawing against Little Bowden Primary School and beating Fleckney Primary School. Thank you to Mr Williams for coaching the team.
Well done to the year five class who took part in the South Leicestershire Collaborative Partnership Concert held at Leicester Grammar School. The fifth annual concert, organised by Mr Kirkland, involves the children from five schools working together in the afternoon to learn a series of pieces which they perform to an audience of parents. Each class have also prepared a piece they have been studying in school. This year the class have been learning to play the Taiko drums and so produced a wonderful performance of Japanese drumming. A big thank you to everyone involved in organising the event.

Well done to the year 2 class who had a fantastic afternoon rehearsing and then performing with pupils from the other South Leicestershire Collaborative Partnership Schools.
