Here is the latest news about St. John’s School:
This week in Science, Year 4 have been investigating how we hear sound 🦻🏼The children explored how sounds are made when objects vibrate, and discovered that these vibrations travel through the air and into our ears 🦻🏼We even had a go at drawing our own ears!

This morning we gathered together for a special assembly led by Henry from The Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum. He spoke to us about Remembrance Day and the meaning behind this special time of year 🌹We listened to 'In Flanders Field' read by some of our wonderful Year 6s and took some time to reflect together on the significance of the day. The children sat reverently and beautifully throughout.
This morning, our Chaplaincy Team visited Green Pastures Nursing Home to reflect on Remembrance and join the residents in observing the two-minute silence.
Afterwards, the children spent time reading with the residents, doing some colouring, and making poppies together. Everyone loved sharing stories and memories, it was a truly special experience for both the children and the residents.
We also laid our Remembrance wreath at the care home. What a lovely and meaningful morning we had! ❤️🌺

WOW! The children have amazed me with maths this morning - we were so impressed!
We added 3 addends together by making ten first! This included using our number bonds to 10 knowledge. We used the tens frame and counters to show our knowledge brilliantly!

Year 5 have been busy using soft pastels on a black background and shading to show the spheres of the earth and moon. They then used a spattering technic with white paint to create stars.
The effects are quite impressive.
Thank you to Jimmy, Aibel and Leo who delivered a beautiful class collective worship for us last week. Around the theme of love, they carefully chose scripture, prayers and hymns to share with the class.
During Year 4 art lessons, they have started the HUGE project of starting their very own weaving! We have already learnt about the process of warping and wefting 🧵🪡 and today we began on our own mini looms! It is taking a lot of patience and perseverance for us to be succcessful.... here is the start! We can't wait to showcase our journey with you 🙂
Year 6 have had a fantastic time at the PFMAC concert this week! Since the beginning of Year 6, we have been practicing our 90s anthems and it was so lovely to share our hard work with our friends and family.
Today we’ve had the most amazing day! We started off with a fantastic workshop from the Oxford Opera Company, where we learned all about The Magic Flute by Mozart and the story of Tamino.
WOW! Year 2 have had an AWESOME morning creating Pop Art Portraits!
Cally from Cotswolds Arts Through Schools joined us in our classroom this morning. She talked to us about what Pop Art is, what self-portraits are and taught us the steps in creating our own pop art portrait! It was very technical!
We are SO proud of the portraits we have created! 💥🎨
Year 2 shared their fantastic Harvest portraits with the rest of the school during our Assembly yesterday morning! We also had lots of fun hearing songs and poems from different classes and reflected on Harvest Time through prayers written by Year 6 🥰
