• European Day of Languages

  Fri 26 Sep 2014

  On Friday 26th September 2014, Chalfont St Peter CE Academy celebrated the European Day of Languages. Throughout the school, children learned a little of a new language: Year 3 learned some German, Y4 learned some Spanish, Year 5 learned some Italian and Year 6 learned some Russian! Such is the talent of our teachers, that we are able to offer all of these different languages. With special lessons and activities prepared, children embraced just some of the languages of the world we live in.

   

  With the extra curricular clubs in school including Mandarin, during a special assembly Mrs Downie, our MFL coordinator and specialist teacher, raised the awareness of language, its diversity and beauty through the Mandarin Club role-playing a little sketch in Chinese Mandarin and counting to 10. All this after just 2 after-school sessions !

   

  Approximately 30 children across the school were able to stand up in assembly and speak a little of a language, other than English, which they speak at home. We heard Afrikaans, Gujarati, Polish, Turkish, Lebonese, Swedish, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Portugese, to name but a few!

   

  Singing songs, reciting poems and watching a clip from "Frozen" sung in dozens of different languages was a real treat. A super day celebrating the rich variety of language.

  

• 7-Aside Football

  Sat 20 Sep 2014

  Following a successful series of matches held during an early tournament at Butler's Court on Tuesday of this week, our U11 boys from Year 6 qualified to play in the second round of schools from Chiltern South Bucks, on Saturday 20th September. The competition is tough in this English Schools Football Association tournament but our boys played brilliantly.

   

  Group Stage	CSPA	2-0	Stoke Poges
  	CSPA	3-0	Prestwood
  	CSPA	1-0	Our Lady's
  Semi Finals	CSPA	3-1	Farnham Common
  Final	CSPA	0-2	Our Lady's

   

  The outcome was that our boys finished as 'runners up' in this Chiltern South Bucks Schools stage and therefore qualify for the county finals!

   

  The team, managed by Mr Josh Briant, our CSPA Football/Games coach consisted of Sam F, Lukas K, Dennis C, Rhys E, Marcus L, Luke H, Adam G and captain, Seb L, with Jake F playing in the earlier qualifying round. A huge well done to the boys and good luck with the training in preparation for the next District stage in a few weeks time. It's great to see the success in football so early in the term!
