  Desert To Garden

   

  On Thursday, the whole school took time out from our busy lives for a morning of reflection, as Jesus did when he went to the desert.  The children moved around the school in beautiful reverence to visit various reflections led by our wonderful Year 5 and 6s.  The school had a  meaningful morning in contemplation.

  Bee Netball Tournament on Tuesday 21st March 2023

   

  On Tuesday, eight Year 6s took part  in a Bee Netball tournament at St.      Augustine’s. They were in Pool 1 where they won three games and drew one, making them the top team in their Pool and getting to the final.  It was a closely fought final that ended in a penalty shootout, after extra time. Unfortunately, their opponents scored just one more goal than them. Well done to the netball team for coming 2^nd in the whole tournament. They demonstrated real enthusiasm, resilience and composure.

  The netball team would also like to say a huge thank you to their families and friends for cheering them on and being their Number 1 fans – there were a lot of OOHs and AHs!

  Four Year 5 children represented St. John’s at a Maths Competition held at The Paragon school in Bath. They had to work in pairs, against several other schools,    to complete a series of mathematical challenges and puzzles within a given time. The atmosphere was vibrant and the children did a fantastic job.

  One pair - Daniel M and Beatrice P - managed to win the whole competition. Alan K and Georgia R finished in 10^th place. Both pairs were fantastic ambassadors and showed a great deal of mathematical excellence.

  Whole School Mass on Thursday 9th March 2023

   

  This week the whole school celebrated our feast day for St John of God with a wonderful gathering including parishioners at St John the Baptist Catholic Church. The children sang and read with joy and reverence showing pride in their school family. At this point in the year we especially pray for and remember the important work of the St John of God sisters who established our school community in 1926. Thank you to Canon Tom for leading us and to the families who were able to join us in our celebration.

  Foundation Stage LIVE Maths Lesson

   

  As live phonics was a great success in Term 3, during Term 4, we would like to welcome Foundation Stage parents into the classrooms to watch a maths lesson. This is an excellent opportunity to learn how you can best support your child at home with their mathematical development. 

   

  This will take place during the week beginning 20th March at 9am. 

  Please liaise with your child’s teacher to arrange a day to come in that week.
