• Tag Rugby

  Fri 23 Mar 2018

  On Wednesday 21^st March, St. John’s Year 5 and 6 Tag Rugby teams were invited to take part in a tournament at Chinnor Rugby Club. Both teams were placed into different pools, where we played the first round of 3 matches. The results were then calculated, and another set of matches were created. Again, we played 3 more matches, as well as against each other. This was a closely fought match, with St.John’s B winning 4-2 and as a result of this win, St.John’s B team won their pool with St.John’s A coming second.  

   

  Congratulations to all of the players who participated at the tournament and a huge thank you to all of the parents who came along and supported.

  Netball Report

  On Thursday 8th March, the St John's, mixed boys and girls netball team went to play netball matches against two other teams; the other schools were Cedar Park and Highworth. We won the first match and lost the second with St John's coming second overall.

   

  Our players did exceedingly well, considering the fact that there were some amazing players on the opponents team. Everyone enjoyed the matches and we home to have another game soon.

   

  We would like to thank Miss Moulder for organising the match and everyone who came to support us.

• Year 5 Food Technology

  Fri 09 Mar 2018

  This term, Year 5 have been taking part in a new Adopt a School initiative with the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts. The first session was all about tasting food and recognising different taste sensations. Children also learned about food groups and healthy eating. Some of the children took the Blindfold Challenge and tried to identify foods by feel and taste - there were some interesting answers! The project continues through to the Summer Term.

  Many thanks to Mrs Bottomley for organising the project for Year 5.

  

• World Book Day

  Thu 01 Mar 2018

  It's World Book Day today and as it's a Snow Day, children will have plenty of time to work on their WORLD BOOK DAY CHALLENGE! Many of the children have been busy completing the tasks and are bringing in the photos to prove it! Some children have tried to complete '3 in 1'  but should remember each challenge requires 10 minutes of reading, so no cheating!

  Reuben, Neve, Kelly May, Rowan and Holly  have sent us some impressive photos of their book cases. We would love to add some more. (Email your photos to the office or Mrs Rodbourne)

   

  INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHALLENGE AND A COPY OF THE CHALLENGES CAN BE FOUND ON THE CHILDREN'S MENU.
