• RHS Bridgewater Y6

  Mon 26 Jun 2023

   We had a great day at RHS Bridgewater. We spent the morning exploring the gardens and admiring the beautiful plants and flowers. The children worked in pairs to identify different blossoms, trees and leaves as well as using the iPads to capture some images that we will use as part of some science themed artwork over the next few weeks. 

  We then moved to the woodland play we here the children worked in small teams to create dens. It was great to see the communication skills and sharing of ideas as they built their constructions. 

  After lunch we had a workshop where we investigated plants. The children reviewed what they had previously learnt at schools before using magnifying glasses and microscopes to look closely at different parts of the plant that are used in reproduction. The children then made clones of a mint plant that we have brought back to school and will hopefully see prosper over the next few weeks. 

  We ended the day with a final tour of the garden and then finished with some time in the woodland play area. 

  Overall a great day!

  

• 🍓Y2 Kenyon Hall Farm Trip 🍓

  Thu 22 Jun 2023

  🍓 What a wonderful day we have had today at Kenyon Hall Farm! 

  First of all we had a chat about different plants that are grown on the farm and what we use them for. We learnt about wheat, oil seed rape, oats and barley. 🌾 🚜 

  After that we went on a walk through different parts of the farm looking at some of the fruits and vegetables that grow there. We looked at pumpkins, apple trees, cherry trees, plum trees, tayberries, raspberries, blackberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants and strawberries!! 🍏🍒🍓

  After a quick shade break and drink break we went to the strawberry tunnels to pick some strawberries. The children thoroughly enjoyed picking their own strawberries! 

  💫We were blown away by the children’s behaviour today and this was commented on by lots of the public. What a credit to St John’s you are! 💫

  

• Y5 London Residential

  Wed 21 Jun 2023

  Wowzers! What a truly wonderful trip our Year 5 children have had on their London residential! They have taken in the sights and sounds of ‘the big smoke’, with the likes of the London Eye, Tower Bridge, The Natural History Museum and so much more. The children were treated to the delights of the Lion King and even got to eat at Pizza Express. They have been an absolute credit to our school with many complements on their exemplary behaviour. Well done Year 5! 👑🦁🍕🎡
