We are delighted to announce St John’s has received a prestigious Platinum Award from the School Games for 2021-22.
Platinum press release – click here for more info
Each year, we submit evidence to our School Games Organiser who verifies the level of award earned. This year, following five consecutive ‘Gold’ awards, we were one of very few primary schools in Shropshire to receive the Platinum Award.
Our School Games Organiser, Mollie Croxon, wrote: ” It’s lovely to read how much you prioritize physical activity and sport at St Johns for all students also. You have received platinum which is fantastic and well deserved for your continued efforts over the years!”
Miss Whit (PE Co-ordinator) presents the School Games Platinum Award to members of the new Sports Council 2022.
Homework and spellings will be given out on a Thursday and will be expected back in on the following Wednesday. We will have an informal spelling test on a Wednesday too to see how the children are getting on. Homework will be a mixture of online and on paper tasks!
The children have new log in details for Teams, which will be inside their homework books. If your child was new to the school this year then they may not have a log in yet but it will arrive very soon (hopefully!). When all children are able to access Teams I will post the homework on there as well as in books. Homework can also be submitted via Teams or brought into school on a Wednesday.
Homework this week is…
Year 1: Science – label the parts of the body & Spellings (a good chance to practise your handwriting too!) – try and write the spelling at least three times on the line.
Year 2: Science – Tick the statements that are true for each type of animal. Spellings (a good chance to practise your handwriting too!) – try and write the spelling at least three times on the line.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Miss Horton
White Rose Maths Home Workbooks
At St John’s, we follow the White Rose Maths scheme for teaching and learning and they have released these fantastic workbooks that can be used at home; they may be printed or they could read on screen and answers recorded on paper. Your child may prefer to have a go at other year group workbooks to build up confidence and independence (or challenge themselves further!). Please ask teachers for support if needed.
Winston’s Wish is a fantastic charity which supports children and young people through bereavement. They have released the information in the link below for any parents and carers who wish to know more about how to support their children following the death of the Queen. Please do contact school if you would like any further support in this.
Message from the friends.Hi All, welcome back to the new term. We all hope you had a lovely summer and are settling in well to the new term. The Friends look forward to meeting all our new parents (and will organise an event to meet everybody very soon). In the meantime please can we draw your attention to the village Home Grown Show happening this Sunday at 2.30pm at the village hall. We very much hope you will come along to support the show and all of the children of St John have got artwork on display at the show that they created last term under the theme “the commonwealth”. It will be being judged and winners chosen on the day. I’m sure your children will love to see it on display for everyone and be proud to show it off to you too. Please do come along if you can make it. We look forward to seeing you there.The Friends.
At St John the Baptist C.E Primary School we are all deeply saddened by the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
We shall remember her service through our learning and Worship, and consider how as our Queen she was the embodiment of, and a role model for, our school values of Love, Hope and Respect. We will be thankful for the times that we have been able to come together as a community to celebrate Royal jubilees, birthdays and weddings.
Our thoughts and prayers are with our new King, Charles III, along with the wider Royal Family as they mourn the loss of a beloved mother and grandmother.
Hello Rabbits Class, I hope you’ve had a brilliant summer and that you are ready and raring to come back to school. We have got lots of exciting things to look forward to this term!
Here is our timetable for the Autumn term. We will have PE on Tuesdays and Thursdays so please come to school in PE kit on those days. Year 1s you will be going to Forest School on a Tuesday afternoon so will need to come to school in your Forest School clothes.
The first half of term our Topic will be ‘Who lives in the North and South Poles?’. We will be learning about continents, the equator and the points of a compass. In the second half of term our Topic will be Bonfire Night and Remembrance day and we will think about memories we have and memories other people have. In science we will be learning all about Animals and their needs. We will look at classifying animals and what they need to survive. In English we will be focussing on the stories ‘Troll Swap’ and ‘The Owl who was afraid of the dark’. We will be writing our own stories and informative writing based on these books. In RE we will be answering the questions, ‘What do Christians believe God is like?’ and ‘Why does Christmas matter to Christians?’. In computing we will be thinking about how we can use the technology around us and learning how to take digital pictures. In PE we will be practising our gymnastic skills and learning how to play target games. We will be making moving pictures in DT and creating artwork linked to bonfire night in Art.
We have lots of things to keep us busy this term!
Any questions please feel free to catch me on the gate or email me.
Thanks,
Miss Horton 🙂
