We had a very special Celebration Assembly at St John’s today.

Lowri’s Award

We were all very honoured today as Lowri proudly brought in an award and letter which recognised the incredible act of organ donation by Lowri’s mum, Nicola, following her passing last year. Lowri showed us the precious award by appointment of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and read the accompanying letter to explain how Nicola’s organs had been used to help an incredible five other people. Thank you Lowri for sharing this; we are very proud of you in every way.

Easter gardens

Hedgehog Class have been learning about the Easter story over the last few weeks. Today they were making their own Easter gardens. They know that Christians make Easter gardens to remember that Jesus died on the cross and rose again. They were all fantastic at talking about the story as they made their Easter gardens!

Easter Eggs!

The children had another great forest school session yesterday at the Drumbles. Mrs Farmer had been to collect some eggs. Kris set up a tripod and boiled some water over our camp fire. We then had to boil our eggs for 10 minutes! When they were done, we set them aside to cool a little. After that we put either stickers or elastic bands around the eggs to make crosses on them to remind us of the Easter story. We then dipped them in food colouring. Then we got to eat them!

Boat race preparations

Today the children in Hedgehog Class were busy testing their boats in our water tray to make sure that they would float and stay upright when put on the water. Some were successful on their first attempt however some needed a few minor alterations. The children showed great determination and some super problem solving skills putting everything that they have learnt about materials into practise.

Spring Playtime!

Playtime at St John’s became even more enjoyable today as the field has dried up under the spring sunshine! It was a pleasure to see all the children playing in the fields and enjoying the sensory garden which Mrs Lister has been busy tending to.

Hedgehog Class Boat Race

The children in Hedgehog Class would like to invite their parents to watch their boat race in the river on Wednesday 3rd April 2019. The children have been really busy this week making their boats as part of their Design and Technology project and will be making alterations as needed in their session next week. They then hope that their boats will make it to the finish line when they are put into the river. In the interest of the environment, all boats will be collected back out of the river before we leave! Please let either Mrs Farmer or the office know in advance if you would like to join us.
