Our BIG SING was an attempt to break the World Record for the biggest number of children singiong the same song at the same time!! Our song was 'You Gotta Be' and we sang it with superstar Des'ree on a 'live' feed from the O2 Arena in London. We will soon be told if we broke the World Record by the people at the Guinness Book of World Records. For more photos and video clips go to Breaking News on our website!!
RED NOSE DAY 2009 will be a 'Big'n'Baggy' Day at Peterbrook as we engage in singing, dancing and painting activities to raise money for a good cause.

What a fabulous fund-raising day for a worthy cause has been planned and prepared for by the hard-working members of our School Council. There has been singing, dancing and painting for a whole day!! Let's listen to how we started our big day with the singing of the 'Red Nose Day' song 'We're doing something funny for the money!' Next we listen to our pupils as they give their views on the singing, dancing and painting, as well as the more serious side of our activities. Enjoy!
Exactly one year ago today our Year 6 children were sitting their final SAT's test paper in the morning before jetting off to China on an 8 day performance tour to our partner school in Beijing - AnZhen No.1 Primary School!! Today only 5 of the 12 members of the cast of 'The Statue of the Ancient Hero' are still pupils at Peterbrook - they were in Year 5 then - Demia, Charlotte, Megan, Saffron and Tyler. Listen as we recall our magical moments from the visit - the experience changed them forever. Enjoy!!
Peterbrook caters for the learning needs of all its children. In 2005 we began our Year 1-Year 6 'Brain Academy' learning programme for our highest achievers. These children take on a huge range of Literacy, Numeracy and Science based challenges on a weekly basis. Today is something special as our Year 5 'G&T' Team present for you their first 'wacky' radio broadcast where they have fun writing, rehearsing and presenting crazy radio shows!! ENJOY!!
There are times as a teacher when you know you are witnessing something special - an achievement by children which goes way beyond the norm - something unique. Today was such a time when forty of our Year 5&6 children performed in Mell Square Solihull, at the inaugural Chinese New Year celebrations for the town. In freezing weather our pupils looked amazing and sang in Mandarin Chinese a very difficult Chinese New Year song in front of hundreds of people. Their singing was simultaneously broadcast 'live' by BRMB Radio across the whole of the West Midlands region. It was a stunning achievement and our pupils are a credit to their school, their parents and families and most of all, to themselves!!
