On Wednesday 26th September 2018, St. John’s took part in a wonderful and enriching day of learning new languages from across the continent. These were expertly lead by our own staff, who unknown to many of us, can speak a variety of different languages.
This involved a journey around the school and time spent in each classroom learning about language and culture. A huge thank to Ms Bull who led the whole day.
We are delighted to announce the fantastic news that we have been awarded 1st place in the TESCO bags for help scheme.
A huge thank you to all who ‘dropped the coins for us’ to help us grow our sensory and calming area within the St. John’s environment, and for the suggestions offered to us during the process.
“Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast.”
Well done to all those children who play an instrument at St John’s.
Last week we were treated to a clarinet concert by the children of Year 4 and those individuals with private lessons. Bea Lambert even gave us a quick burst of the saxophone. Really well done to all, particularly the soloists:
Ines, Beatrice, Cicely, Maya, Lilia and Neave.
Today saw the guitarists amongst us our number take to the stage. What a delightful afternoon’s entertainment and sometimes you couldn’t help but tap your foot along with the excellent playing. Well done to all our musicians:
Erin, Josh and Art; Mickey; Isla; Isabella, Abigail, Olivia and Rachel; Ronan and Ben; Miguel; Holly, Liam and Ruben; Lucy, Maria and Henry; Poppy and Niamh; Mia and Aidan, Robert and Oliver
A special thank you to Miss Tunstall and Mr Barton for all their hard work and patience.
Well it certainly came home! Not the World Cup unfortunately but the trophy proving that St John’s is the best small school for athletics in the whole of Baldock, Hitchin and Letchworth as well as the surrounding villages.
Well done to all those who represented the school so well on and off the track and a huge thank you for the brilliant support. Super thanks to Mr Baker for all the hard work which made it possible.
Well, what a week it has been!
SPORTS DAY
On Wednesday we had a super sports day. The carousel of sporting challenges ensured everyone was involved and all competing for their house saint.
After 8 rounds of competition, we all gathered for the final result. ….
St Francis ( Hooray!)
RACE FOR LIFE
As if that wasn’t enough.
Today, Friday 29th June we had our Race for Life.
Another glorious day in the sunshine. We started with a prayer and lots of memories shared and then we were off…
The children ran, walked, skipped or flossed their way around the field over and over again accompanied by Mr Baker’s playlist.
It was lovely to have parents and other family members joining in and cheering us on. Alongside this there was feverish activity on the JustGiving page and a fantastic final total of £660.
A hot exhausting week but so much fun. An enormous thank you to Mr Baker for putting it altogether and many thanks for the PA support.
A little later than anticipated, here is our June newsletter.
