• Wigan Dance Festival 2024

  Wed 13 Mar 2024

  Wowza! Our St. John's Dance Squad totally rocked the stage tonight!

  I was completely blown away not just by how incredible their dance was, but also by the fact that they were able to perform on such a huge stage! It took some serious effort, and they totally nailed it! What an amazing accomplishment!

  A huge thank you to all the fantastic parents who made the journey over to Wigan this evening and provided the awesome pink clothing.

  And a special shout-out to Miss Frain! She has worked incredibly hard over the past few weeks, making sure the group had loads of fun and that they absolutely owned the stage tonight.

  Let's also give a big thanks to one of our incredible parents, who went above and beyond by making pink hair bows for everyone.

  Our dance squad truly exceeded all expectations and made all of us incredibly proud! Keep up the amazing work!

  

• Let Girls Play Event for International Women’s Day

  Fri 08 Mar 2024

  Our Year 5 sports leaders were invited to take part in training through Wigan School Games. As part of their training, they were taught how to play and deliver games aimed at girls and based around football skills at Wigan Athletics youth training ground. The intention of the training was to provide the skills they would need to organise and deliver a festival specifically to encourage girls to get involved in playing and learning those football skills. On the 8th of March, the sports leaders delivered the festival of ‘Let Girls Play’ on International Women’s Day. They delivered a warm up and a number of activities such as ‘the great escape’, ‘cat and mouse’ and ‘dragons den’ all of which were based around football skills. They applied skills learned in their training to encourage game progression and how they could adapt the things they learned for the range of children in school from Reception age up to Year 6.They did an absolutely remarkable job and the festivities were enjoyed by all! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
