St John’s School Sports Week

24 Jun 2022

” This week was Sports Week .We did lots of different activities to do with sports such as boules, skateboarding, speed staking, athletics and finally a mini Sports Day. These sports activities were really fun. This is how you play boules, if you know how to play boules already then that’s great. You roll a big ball as close as you can to the little ball called the Jack”.

Stay Safe in the Sun

17 Jun 2022

The sun is shining and today is forecast to be very hot day. It’s important to stay safe in the sunshine especially as we head towards the warmer summer days. We encourage all of our St John’s families to apply sunscreen to their children before school each day and to make sure that all children have a bottle of plain water and a suitable hat. More advice on how to enjoy the sunshine safely can be found on the NHS website.

14 Jun 2022

Our Key Stage Two children are preparing for their summer production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream; roles have been chosen, lines are being learnt and scenery is being painted.

Last Friday, Years Four and  Five visited the Globe Theatre in London. The children were treated to a guided tour of the theatre, learnt about the history of the building and  eat lunch in the park next to the theatre. Both St John’s School staff and children had a wonderful day. Once again, we are incredibly thankful to all of the volunteers who gave their time to support our children.
