Here is the latest news about St. John’s School:
WOW! To round up our Coastline topic, we were lucky enough to welcome Mrs Wickens to our classroom. She has visited Whitby every year since she was a child so she came and shared some amazing expert facts and photos with us!
The children had some brilliant questions to ask her!
Mrs Wickens EVEN had the famous lemon buns delivered from Whitby for us to try. 🍋 We look forward to taste-testing them later on!
We’ve added some brilliant new books to our library to celebrate and support our Lionesses in the Euros and to inspire girls who love football!
Come and explore stories of strength, teamwork, and determination, just like our girls on the pitch.

As Always at St john's we champion Sporting opportunities. So here is another opportunity...
What a brilliant afternoon of football for our Year 5 boys and girls teams! St John’s took on The Grange School and both teams did us proud.
Year 5 have been busy exploring Ancient Greek pottery and designing their own versions – and they’ve been amazing! Using watercolours and oil pastels, they created striking 2D resist images full of detail, including dancers and athletes.
The Youth Group at St Joseph has been really thriving this year. Quite a few children from St John's and St Joseph's have joined us.
We would like to invite the children in y5 and y6 to taste and see what we do at Youth Group, on July 13th!
We will have prayers, food and games! Both the Seniors and Juniors members will attend.

Today our Year 5 & 6 pupils had a visit from PC Rob Kelly, our local police officer, to talk about an important and relevant topic: the age of criminal responsibility and how this applies to children aged 10 and above in England and Wales.
PC Kelly explained that once a child turns 10 years old, they can be held legally responsible for their actions. This means that behaviour such as theft, damage, or harmful communication can have serious consequences – even at a young age.
Year 2 have had a wonderful morning of Cricket at The Grange 🏏. We saw fantastic team work, determination and everyone was encouraging each other - it was beautiful to see! A huge well done to all the children!!!
Thank you to all the adults who joined us! 💖
A huge well done to our talented musicians, school choir, our whole school and the lovely Mrs Trivett for a fantastic (and hot!) concert this afternoon. The children sang so beautifully and played with such pride - we are incredibly proud of all of them! 🥰
We've had a wild and wonderful morning exploring the mini-beasts of the natural world! The children were buzzing with excitement as they checked out tadpoles in three different stages some legless, some with back legs, and some ready to hop off! We’ve got three butterfly cocoons hanging in suspense and a collection of unfortunate insects who met their end in Mrs. Trivett’s very toasty conservatory.
With magnifiers in hand, we zoomed in on wings, patterns, and textures galore. But the real showstopper? A dragonfly nymph that crawled out of the pond after two years of underwater adventures (and a few tadpole snacks), then split open to reveal a stunning dragonfly! It took off into the sky, leaving behind its spooky-cool empty shell. We even watched a YouTube clip of the whole transformation needless to say, the kids were hooked!
Congratulations to our lovely Year 3 children receiving their First Holy Communion on Saturday!
Wishing you all a joyful and blessed day as you take this special step in your faith journey.
