• 🐛Curious Critters visit for Reception and Year 1🐛

  Wed 17 May 2023

  The children were absolutely amazing today during our Curious Critters visit! 

  They listened carefully, asked super questions and they could remember lots of interesting facts about the creatures from our work completed in class prior to the session. 

  Today we saw an owl, a snake, a cockroach, a giant African millipede, a tarantula, a leopard gecko, a crested gecko, a scorpion and a skinny pig. 

  We were so impressed at how brave the children were! Most of the children held a creature today, despite not being initially keen! 😬 All of the children bravely touched the creatures. Well done Reception and Year 1! We are so proud of you!

  

• Y4 trip to Cuerden Valley

  Wed 17 May 2023

  The children enjoyed a fantastic day at Cuerden Valley Country Park where they were able to analyse micro river specimens, search for special river debris and learn about the formation of different rivers.  They learned about the sources of rivers and the three main processes of river formation, Erosion, transportation and deposition. The children used mathematical tools to measure and calculate river depth, width and current. Overall, they had lots of fun and enjoyed their day out of the classroom.  😊

  For the last 4 weeks we have been running an inclusive football programme giving children the opportunity to play football. This has been a brilliant success, culminating in this Sunday playing a match against a local Eastleigh inclusion team.

  Today the children were delighted to see the return of Mrs Williams and The Goofus Puppet company. Throughout the day, each class experienced the delights of the Goofus performance about Rosie and her journey into a memory.  After the performance, the children were able to take part in a question and answer session, learning much about the puppetry world and how the puppets were made.

• POP Project- Reach for the Stars

  Mon 20 Mar 2023

  Today the children were treated to another delightful visit from the POP Project. Their theme was reach for the stars. They began by speaking about our aspirations and dreams, what kind of jobs we would like to do when we grow up and how looking further to our families, friends and within the wider community the ways in which people do aspirational acts within their everyday lives. The children had a great time and were very deep thinkers on the subjects touched upon. 

  

• Y1 Kenyon Hall Farm Trip

  Thu 09 Mar 2023

  We’ve had a lovely (and cold! ❄️) day at Kenyon Hall Farm. The children were absolute superstars and coped so well in the cold conditions, I think the snow made the trip even more exciting for the children! Thank you for wrapping them up nice and toasty! When we arrived we learn’t all about different types of grains that they grow on the farm and explored lots of different vegetables. We then had a walk around the farm, exploring the first signs of Spring. The children enjoyed jumping in muddy puddles and catching the snow on their tongues! 😊 We spotted lots of different trees and talked about which ones are evergreen and deciduous. Back in the farmers classroom we planted some peas that we look after in school. The children have learnt all of the important things that a seed needs to grow. We will update you on the progress of their seeds! The children were very well behaved and did St.Johns proud. 💛💛

  

• 🚒 Y6 Greater Manchester Fire Service Visit 🚒

  Wed 08 Mar 2023

  This morning the children have been visited by members of the Greater Manchester Fire Service. Local firemen came to discuss the dangers of fires in our homes and places around us, how to contact 999 and what we should do in case of a fire to keep us safe. 
  We watched videos to show us the dangers of what can happen when teenagers lit a fire on school grounds, the damage this can cause and the consequences of what happened. Some of our children demonstrated STOP, DROP AND ROLL for themselves being on fire and were also able to try on the personal safety equipment that firemen are required to wear when responding to emergencies. 
  The children were very respectful and asked sensible questions when given the opportunity. 
  A great visit from our local fire service! 

  

• ASTA First Aid Event

  Tue 28 Feb 2023

  Well done to our Year 6 sports Leaders who attended the first aid event as part of ASTA. 
  The children were able to have the opportunity to learn some basic first aid through role play and gain some vital knowledge to help them should they find themselves in an emergency situation. They looked at speaking to the 999 service, dangers around them and when it is or is not appropriate to attend to an injured person, how to deal with bleeding, how to put someone who is breathing normally into the recovery position, how to tell if someone is breathing normally and how to perform CPR. The children did a great job and represented Leigh St Johns with superb attitudes. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
