St John’s It’s been another busy year at St. John’s and there have been lots of highlights we would like to share with you. In September, we celebrated our school’s namesake St. John with a day of celebration. We held assembly where we found out about his life and there were a range of activities completed across the school from art to PowerPoint presentations. In October, we had our annual Film Night, our amazing PTA are currently raising money to renovate our Prayer Garden and they organise plenty of events throughout the year. Film Night is always popular and the children love coming to school in the dark, eating lots of sweets and enjoying a film in their class. December is always a busy month in schools and this was no different at St. John’s, we had two Nativity performances from our Reception and Year 1/2 classes who did an incredible job of retelling the special story of Jesus’ birth. We also had our Christingle service, Christmas parties in our classes and our every popular Christmas dinner with plenty of festive jumpers on show! We were very luck to welcome Bishop Bosco to our school in February. The children were incredibly excited to meet this Bishop who has a strong connection with the school as he attended St. John’s as a child! At the beginning of March, our Year 3s,4s and 5s went on the pilgrimage to Glastonbury, this was a great day out with children walking up the Tor and visiting the Chalice Well gardens. On the same week as our Glastonbury trip, our Year 6s went on their five-day residential to Skern Lodge in Appledore, Devon. This is always a brilliant trip where lots of memories are made. The children enjoyed a range of outdoor activities with particular favourites being: surfing, climbing and camp fire building. At the end of the month, our Year 5s went on their residential to Kilve Court. A three-night trip, the children also got to meet other Year 5 children from our Camino partnership of schools and particular favourite activities were grass sledging, abseiling and archery. The end of the month saw our Year 3/4s complete their Spring production of ‘Hoodwinked’ a Robin Hood play. They really did raise the roof with some incredible acting and songs.
