Thirty four pupils from Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 represented the school at the Bicton Cross Country run. Whilst some pupils had competed at Bicton in previous years, for some pupils it was the first time they had run a cross country race. The enthusiasm and positive attitude demonstrated by pupils was excellent.
Several pupils excelled in their races, including Lorna Gebbie who won the Year 5/6 Girls race, Esme Kilburn-Thompson who came third in the Y3/4 Girls race and Tom Real who came third in the Y3/4 Boys race.

October 2011 Stockland Cross Country
Fourteen pupils from Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 represented our school at the Stockland Cross Country race.

October 2011 High 5 Netball Competition
Twenty one pupils from Year 5 and Year 6 represented our school at the High 5 Netball competition at Exmouth Community College. It was an evening of many firsts: the first time that our school has taken 21 children, 3 teams, to this event (in fact we were the only school with 3 teams); the first time that many children had played in a competitive netball match; the first time that many children had represented the school in a competitive sporting activity. The children played many games and, although not always the winning side, showed good team spirit.
There were outstanding performances from: Ria Tozer for outstanding tactical play particularly when in attack; Jake Yarwood for showing resilience and positive competitive play in all games; and Evie Kilburn-Thompson for playing all matches with the biggest smile on her face!

November 2011 Stockland Cross Country
Seven pupils from Year 3 and Year 4 represented our school at the second Stockland Cross Country race (Year 5 and Year 6 were absent due to their London Residential). Most of the runners had participated in the first race and were prepared for the challenging course. Each race began with the runners being given the choice of getting wet feet in the river crossing or to take the longer route around the road. There were no dry feet in the cars after the races!
The team looked so smart in their new running vests and many pupils improved on their position from the previous race.

In the second half, the team controlled the game and our defensive unit looked much stronger. The final result was Otterton Church of England Primary School 2 - St Peter's Church of England Primary School 4. Scorers: Matt Garnett (3) and Charlie Mears (1).
December 2011 Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 Girls' Football
On Friday 2nd December girls from Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 represented the school in a friendly football match against Marpool Primary School, Exmouth. The Year 3 and Year 4 match was a very high scoring victory, 7-1 to St. Peter’s. Although the Year 5 and Year 6 match resulted in a 5-0 defeat, there was a significant improvement in the 2nd half performance and only one goal was conceced after half time. Well done girls!

equaliser as the light began to fade, our pupils remained boyant and score a late goal to win the game 2-1. Well done Year 2 and Year 3!

December 2011 Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Gymnastics
On Monday 12th December pupils from Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 performed a fantastic gymnastic display as part of the Christmas Performance at St Peter's Church.

On Friday 16th December, the last day of term, over 80 pupils from Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 represented their Houses in a five-a-side competition. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions the majority of the games were played on the playgound rather than on the school field. The positive attitude, respect and friendship show by all the participants, particularly those pupils from Year 6 who helped referee some of the games, was excellent.

The outstanding performances were from Lorna Gebbie who finished 13th and Esme Kilburn-Thompson who ran the final stages of the race like Zola Budd (without trainers) and secured a 10th place finish.

February 2012 Year 4 and Year 5 Boys' Football
On Monday 20th February, nine boys from Year 4 and Year 5 represented St Peter's in a football friendly against Otterton Primary School. Due to the difference in school sizes, it was agreed that Otterton Primary School would include pupils from Year 6 in their team. Despite the obvious age and height differences, our players competed for every loose ball and created several excellent chances. The final score was 1-1. We will try to offer further competitive football opportunities for pupils in Year 4 and Year 5.

On Monday 27th February, ten boys from Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 represented St Peter's in a football friendly against Clyst St Mary Primary School. The confidence and team spirit shown by the team to recover from a half-time two goal deficit to bring the game back to 2-2 was excellent. Unfortunately, a flurry of late goals resulted in a very narrow 4-3 defeat. The members of staff from Clyst St Mary agreed that it was an excellent game and praised our pupils for our fair play and respect. Thank you to Mr Hushon who refereed the game.
February 2012 and March 2012 University of Exeter Study
Pupils from Year 5 and Year 6 pupils have taken part in the University of Exeter study into the relationship between physical activity and psychological wellbeing.
The reseachers were amazed by the positive response from Year 5 and Year 6 pupils. In fact, so many pupils wanted to take part that they did not have enough wrist monitors on their initial visit. After the samples were taken, the researchers returned to talk to the pupils about the importance of physical activity on general health and psychological wellbeing.

March 2012 Bicton Cross Country
Twenty four pupils from Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 represented the school at the Bicton Cross Country run. Whilst some pupils had competed at Bicton in October, for some pupils it was the first time they had run a cross country race. I was so pleased to see so many Year 3 and Year 4 runners at the event.
Lorna Gebbie won the Year 5/6 Girls race and Annabelle Moger-Taylor came second in the Y3/4 Girls race. Well done!

March 2012 Year 2 and Year 3 Boys' Football
On Monday 12th March, 14 boys from Year 2 and Year 3 represented St Peter's Church of England Primary School in a series of four friendly matches against Otterton Primary School. St Peter's won all four matches. Each action packed game included a flood of goals and so it was very difficult for Mr Lee to keep a record of the scores! The most important outcomes were that pupils had the opportunity to represent the school and everyone had fun! Well done St Peter's!
