  May Crowning of Mary Our Mother

  
  It is a Catholic tradition to honour Mary, our Mother, during the month of May by placing on her statue a crown of flowers.

   

  This Sunday, 19th May, the Children's Rosary warmly invite you to process from outside St John's Primary School down to the church for the crowning of Mother Mary and Holy Mass. We will carry Our Lady and pray the rosary, led by the children. Starting at 9.40am.

  All welcome, don't worry if you have never prayed the rosary before. If you can't join the procession then you could join us for the crowning outside church at         approximately 10.10am.

  Year 6 Reading Champions Visit to Toppings & Co Bookshop

   

  Last Thursday, our Year 6 Reading Champions enjoyed a trip to Topping & Co Bookshop in Bath. They met with professional booksellers who gave advice on being librarians, recommending books and how to encourage a love of reading in our school.  The pupils came away with  lots of ideas   for our library including ways to display books.

  As a special treat – each child chose a reading book to take home. These books were bought by St. John’s School to thank the pupils for all their hard work this year.
