RE Christmas Theme Day
Mon 18 Dec 2017All classes enjoyed learning about the true meaning of Christmas, during our Christmas Theme Day. As part of the day, each class reflected on the deeper meaning of Christmas as well as interpreting these ideas through art, drama, dance and writing. The year 3 and 4 classes learned more about the Holy Trinity and plaited loaves using different flavoured dough. Our year 5 and 6 children looked into the meaning of Incarnation and its importance at Christmas. They also worked on ways to advertise the true meaning of Christmas, producing posters, presentations and cards. Below you can see some of the children's work.

St John's Christmas Fayre
Sat 02 Dec 2017Our Christmas Fayre, on Friday, was a fantastic success. The Hall was filled with stalls selling gifts and crafts along with opportunities to try your luck at games and the raffle of Christmas Hampers. Year 6 children provided a range of games for everyone to try, some down to skill and some down to luck! This year, the Fayre spilled out into the playground with further stalls and activities. The highlight of the event was the visit from Father Christmas. He could be seen in his fantastic grotto where he was seen by a constant stream of children. Altogether a wonderful event which is sure to have raised much needed funds for our school.
Many thanks to the PA for organising the event and all those who contributed to a very successful and enjoyable day.
Our photographs show Santa's fantastic grotto and some of our Year 6 children with their games.
