• Year 6 Leavers' Mass and Party

  Fri 12 Jul 2024

  Yesterday we celebrated our wonderful Year 6 children. The evening started with our Leavers' Mass and ended with a party full of fun, fabulous dancing and delicious food. A massive thank you goes to the PTA for making it so special for the leavers. Also thanks to Mrs Edwards for the meat and potato pie, it was delicious as always. We also were lucky to have Fr Chris and Fr Samson at the mass, who were then joined by Fr Joseph and Fr Tony at the party. We hope they enjoy being part of the St John's family. 

• Year 3 Visit to Gawthorpe Hall

  Fri 12 Jul 2024 Mr Steele

  Year 3 had an amazing time at Gawthorpe Hall today for our Science lesson run by Primary Science Trust and the National Trust. The children meet Michele at the entrance of Gawthorpe Hall and she gave us an introduction. We then walked to the woodland area making notes about the similarities/differences between the environment and a rainforest environment. After this, we arrived at the woodland site and discussed the similarities and differences of the two habitats and learnt about what living things need in a habitat to survive. We also completed a food chain activity and made food chains. When in the wall garden we explored the plants and wildlife while on a nature colour hunt. Finally, the children planted sunflower seeds in pots to take home. To see all the photos go to Year 3's class page on the website.
