Sts Peter and Paul Catholic College: Day 2

Life is richer at Sts Peter and Paul!

Life is richer at Sts Peter and Paul!

Welcome to the official blog created by students to chronicle their experiences during Enrichment Weeks.

On these pages you’ll find personal accounts from our students discussing the wide range of activities they enjoyed both in college and off site.

Visits included residential trips to Iceland with the Geography department, France with the History department and Barcelona with the Maths department. Year 10 and 11 students will visited New York with the Business Studies teachers, while English staff and students explored creative writing skills in locations as diverse as Florida and Yorkshire, where students worked alongside a poet, a novelist and a playwright to set their imaginations on fire.

Back at College, students will take part in retreats to explore and deepen their faith. They will hear from inspirational speakers, attended careers workshops and take part in a host of music, dance and drama activities.

Our College Principal, Wendy White, said, “Enrichment Week is a fantastic opportunity for students to broaden their horizons and learn outside the classroom. It is experiences like these which testify to the diverse, exciting and challenging curriculum at Sts Peter and Paul Catholic College, and how we focus on the development of the whole child.”

Daily updates from home and abroad will allow students to record and share their memorable learning experiences with family and friends.

We hope that you enjoy reading about our experiences on these pages as much as we have enjoyed putting them together.

Look out for the next instalment of the blog following Enrichment Week in July 2015….

Day 2 - Life and Living

Year 8 & 9 students have been wowed by our guest teacher Frank Somdee and his amazing breakdancing skills in the ‘Life and Living Curriculum’ sessions. Each class started by watching a video of Frank showing off his incredible moves, before warming up and having a go themselves. They were taught a short routine to “Chillin” by Lady Gaga and Wale, which they got to rehearse together before performing for a “battle of sexes”! Miss George decided the winners of each team before declaring that, in fact, it was THE BOYS that won overall!!!!

After the success of the two days, Frank has agreed to start a boys breakdancing club which will be on Fridays after college from 3.15 to 4.15, so keep your ears to the ground!
