Charley really enjoyed her English activity today. She drew different types of fruit and vegetables, gave them names and wrote sentences for each of the characters.
Well done Charley!

Your challenge today is to make a ball drop game. You just need a small ball and a cardboard box. This video shows you what one boy made and will give you an idea of what to do. You can try to make your game more complicated by adding walls to make a maze, and perhaps two holes. If you’d like to send us a photo of your finished game that would be brilliant!

St John’s pupils in music video!
Percy and Arthur are featured in a video for the band ‘Everything Everything’, in their new song which was launched on Radio 1 on Thursday night.
Created during lockdown, the lead singer taught himself how to work the technology to create the video. The boys had to stand very still whilst they had around 300 pictures taken. Here they are in a still from the video (which you can see on YouTube).
Well done boys!
