💖🕊️ 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! 💖

This week we celebrated International Week and the wonderful diversity in our school! Children explored different countries through food, music, art, and storytelling.

Postcards from Oceania

Year 4 have been putting their imaginations to work by writing beautiful postcards from their “trip” to the region. From snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef to hiking through the rainforests of Papua New Guinea, their writing brought these amazing destinations to life.

The postcards were filled with wonderful descriptions, exciting adventures, and thoughtful reflections – a fantastic way to combine geography and creative writing.

It's been a fantastic week full of curiosity, joy, and celebration. 🌎✨

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!

As Always at St john's we champion Sporting opportunities. So here is another opportunity...
 

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.
