Happy Christmas From St. John’s School

KS1 Crib Reflection
Well done to all the children in Year 1 and Year 2 who celebrated their Crib reflection and carol concert in the Church on Wednesday evening. You were an absolute credit to your families and to the school - we were all so proud of you.
EYFS Nativity
Huge congratulations to the children in EYFS who shared their version of the Nativity so beautifully in the parish church on Friday afternoon. The children's interpretation of the events in Bethlehem showed such love and care it was a joyful occasion. What a perfect message, that the best gifts are those which are given with love. Many thanks to all the families who were able to join us - we were delighted to have you with us.
Advent Penitential Service
During the season of Advent the children are busy preparing their hearts and minds so that they are truly ready to celebrate Christmas. The whole school gathered together last Friday for our Advent Penitential Service and reflected on preparing our hearts, many thanks to the Chapel Champions and School Choir for leading us so beautifully in prayer and song.
