Thank you to everyone who supported our annual Sports Day today; we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Congratulations to all the children for putting on such a brilliant show of sport and a special well done to our winners: Coton Blue!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our bake sale and âwear orangeâ day for the Harry Johnson Trust. Fun and Games Council were thrilled to present Mrs Johnson with a whopping âchequeâ for ÂŁ271.64 as a result of our fundraising! The bakers were awarded house points for their efforts and âstar bakersâ earned bonus points.
Mrs Johnson gave a very special assembly to share the work of the Harry Johnson trust and show the children some of the comforts they provide children and families in need such as pillowcases, duvet covers, cuddly toys and treats for all the family. It was a privilege to be a part of and we all look forward to more charity work to support this brilliant cause in the future. đž
We couldnât have chosen a better theme for our annual St John the Baptist Service today as the heavens opened and torrential rain forced us to enjoy a lovely âwater-themedâ service in the school hall followed by an indoor picnic! Owl children read from the Bible, Rabbit Class displayed their artwork, Hedgehogs told us about their boat race, Dragonflies shared the poems they had written and Nursery showed off their fantastic Noahâs Ark masks. Thank you to all the families who joined us for lunch – it was lovely to see so many faces. As Mrs Hollis said, teachers will choose a desert-theme next year!
On Tuesday we were very lucky to receive a visit from an RAF Helicopter flown by Tony Grogan and pilot Dan who also gave up their time to talk to the children and answer all their questions about life in the RAF as part of our careers work in school.
It was a brilliant surprise for all our children who patiently waited believing they were taking part in a whole school bird watch! Soon enough, the helicopter circled the school and Hedgehog Class did a great job of shouting “come back!” to entice it to land on our field.
The children were fascinated to hear about the helicopters and missions Tony and Dan had experienced, but also the skills needed in their roles including teamwork , trust, determination and perseverance. A special thanks to Cathy Harmer for organising and of course Tony and Dan for their time and engaging with the children to give them a taster of their experience in the RAF and Navy – it had quite an impact on our pupils. What a treat!
The children of St Johnâs have excelled themselves today! The smell of delicious bakes have filled our corridors and classrooms whilst lots of money has already been made for the Harry Johnson Trust. The bake sale will continue tomorrow so please continue to bring donations! See below for some of the INCREDIBLE efforts for our three categories: Going Green, Bake a Selfie, Frogs!
Remember… tomorrow is wear ORANGE day!
As a reminder, we are having our ‘Harry Day’ on Friday 14th June 2019 in support of all the fantastic goals of the Harry Johnson Trust, a charity special to our school.

A huge thank you to our Friends this morning who organised a fantastic sponsored Breakfast Fun Run in Pyjamas to raise money for sports equipment. Many families joined us for a sausage bap, whilst all the children enjoyed a well-earned yoghurt after their run, kindly donated by Carol Aspinall on behalf of Muller yoghurts. What a treat!
We would like to say a big thank you to Carol, Steve, Deejay, Laura, Alison and Liz who made this event happen so successfully – what a great way to end half term. Watch this space to see how much money has been raised…
We are still buzzing with excitement today after a special visit from Steve and Kevin Morgan with their sidecar which they are competing in over the next week at the famous Isle of Man TT!
The children (and staff!) were excited to see the sidecar up close, hear its engine and ask their questions to Steve and Kevin who are both from Ruyton and are competing in this race for the first time.
A huge thank you to Steve, Kevin and our school governor Simon Gittins for making this visit happen and giving our children a brilliant opportunity. Good luck to Team Morgan; we will be following you and cheering you on!
We’ve had a brilliant last day of term where the children enjoyed our annual Easter Egg Hunt! Happy Easter from all at St John’s!
To support our topic about âWaterâ we went pond dipping yesterday. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves, getting excited to have a look in the nets to discover what they had caught. They looked in containers of pond water to look out for anything moving. Â They also enjoyed a play in the garden and a few circle games and sing-a-long.
Thank you to all our parent helpers and Mrs Gittins in supporting this experience for the children.
