Here is the latest news about St. John’s School:
Early Years spent a very joyous afternoon in the woods looking at all the glorious trees that God had created. We spent a moment listening to the wind in the leaves and thanked Him for giving us such a beautiful world. One of our Live Simply pledges is to get to know our woods- our tree of the day was holly..we will return to the woods and learn the name of the tallest tree in our wood....any guesses as to what that might be?

We are delighted to share that our coffee morning in support of Macmillian Cancer Support raised £167 so far! 🎉
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us including residents and staff from Seccombe Court Care Home and Green Pastures Care Home, along with members of our school and wider community. It was such a joy to come together. 💛
Special thanks to our School Council, who organised and ran the event so brilliantly we are very proud of them! 🌟

As our fantastic Year 6s have been such fabulous role models, they have been given the opportunity to buddy up with some of our youngest children to support them throughout the year. This week, we met our buddies for the first time and we are looking forward to taking them to visit the library later on this week!

This week in class worship, we reflected on the Good News and the importance of sharing our faith. The children wrote prayers and responses to share with everyone.
A huge thank you to Catherine, Flo, Marie-Bernadette and Tommy who led us beautifully in our Class Collective Worship this afternoon 🕯️.
We gathered together to listen to Parable of 'The Lost Sheep'. The children asked some thoughtful questions and the class responded so beautifully. We understood that God is like the shepherd guiding us (his sheep) on the right paths. The children responded to our liturgy by writing about how we know that God loves us 💞.
We look forward to more groups leading us in prayer each week and we are excited to welcome our prayer bear back tomorrow 🥰
The new tuk tuk is bringing out wonderful teamwork from both Reception and Nursery!

Year 3 have been looking at Belonging and how special it is to belong to a group such as a sport, family or adventure club.
They discussed the roles and responsibilities we have in these groups and why we feel valued in these groups.
Reception visited our woods for the first time, and they had a wonderful time exploring our wonderful woodlands!
What a busy day, Year 3 have been looking at the artist Yayoi Kusama and created some fantastic self-portraits in the style of her work (we were absolutely dotty by the end).

A very warm welcome back to the new school year!
We hope you had a lovely summer break.

💖🕊️ BIDDING PRAYERS 🕊️💖
We have been exploring The Mass in our final RE lessons 🕯️.
We explored praying for the needs of others. We had an incredible discussion around who we might pray for and why and then the children worked together to create this beautiful page in our Catholic life book. It includes some thoughtful words and stunning artwork capturing some of the responses used at Mass too! 💖
