‘Wear It Pink’ Celebrations!
We had a fantastic end to the week last week embracing all things PINK for Breast Cancer Now’s ‘Wear It Pink’ campaign. We want to thank everybody for their very generous donations of money, cake and for really getting into the spirit of all things pink! Mrs Bradshaw was the driving force behind this event and she deserves a very special thank you for her energy, enthusiasm and organisation to make this such a successful event. We managed to raise a staggering £476.69!!!
What fun we had – have a look at the pictures to see what we go up to…

A fond farewell…!
We said a fond farewell to Mrs Viner today. She has worked at St John’s for 10 years! We’ve figured out Mrs Viner has worked in all the classrooms with all the teachers during her time at Ruyton. Mental health is something that is very important to Mrs Viner and she has supported children and adults at school with this during her time here. She has very kindly gifted us some books about mental health and some new footballs! She is loved by us all and we wish her the best of luck in her new role within the NHS.
And let’s all remember in the words of Mrs Viner – Be Kind Always!

World Book Day in Rabbits! 📚
We have had a fantastic day in Rabbits celebrating all things books! We took part in ‘The Great World Book Day Draw-Along with Swapna Haddow and Sheena Dempsee’ and we drew some very impressive pigeons!
Then we had a workshop with the children’s author Teresa Heapy. She read us some of her wonderful stories and we got to create our own characters for stories we are going to be writing soon.
Our costumes were all fantastic, and we had great fun sharing stories and talking about our favourite books!
