Sun Protection Guidlines

18th May 2022 By victoriadavies

In anticipation of warm weather this term (we can but hope!) I would like to remind parents/carers of our sun protection guidance.

Please apply sun cream to your child before they come to school on hot days. The long-lasting protection types are recommended.

However, if your child is prone to burning and you feel they may need an additional application you may send in a labelled bottle of sun cream, which your child should give to their teacher to be kept in school until the end of term.

Your child will be able to apply the cream themselves when needed (usually just before lunchtime) under the supervision of a classroom staff member.

It is also advisable to provide your child with a sun hat and water bottle on hot days. We will encourage children to sit in the shade as required at break-times and drink plenty of water.

Pupils will also be taught the importance of sun safety during PSHe lessons.

Comic Relief – Red Nose Day Friday 18th March

14th March 2022 By victoriadavies

Dear Parents & Carers,

On Friday 18th March, we are once again supporting the BBC Comic Relief Red Nose Day Appeal.

Red Nose Day is a great way of bringing our school together.  As well as having fun, we raise money to help change the lives of children both in the UK and worldwide.

We are kicking off our fundraising with the theme, Let’s Do This! Let your imagination run wild!  For one day only: Follow your nose to the fun!  Whether it’s wild hair, wacky clothes (non-uniform), groovy glasses or hilarious hats, anything goes!  We will be collecting any donations in classes towards this worthy cause – every donation helps.

Once again, we thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs N. Pallister
(Deputy Head Teacher)

World Book Day – Thursday 3rd March

11th February 2022 By victoriadavies

Dear Parents & Carers,

On Thursday 3rd March, we will be taking part in this year’s World Book Day Celebrations.  This year’s theme is ‘Share a Story.’

At St. John’s, we feel that reading is an extremely important part of our lives for now and in the future.  On Thursday 3rd March, children can dress up as their favourite character from a book and we will be sharing our favourite books and stories with our friends and staff in school.  We don’t expect parents to go to the expense of buying a specific costume; non-uniform is fine. We are encouraging children to bring their favourite book into school to share with the class. This year we will also be holding a ‘Masked Reader’ competition for the children, they will need to guess ‘who’s behind the mask’.

To celebrate this important event we will be giving out World Book Day tokens with a value of £1.  The vouchers will be given to every child and can be spent in our book club magazine or at any book shop. We would like to encourage as many children as possible to make use of these vouchers.  The World Book Day organisation has also released a series of books for only £1 for children of all ages which are available in book shops and some supermarkets.

We will also be having a World Book Day themed lunch, with our specially designed menu.

As part of our World Book Day celebrations the children in school will have the opportunity to be working with author Adam Bushnell the following week. We will be inviting some parents to come along to our story session with Adam, more information to follow.

Be aware, as part of World Book Day, your child may be asking YOU about YOUR favourite story or book from your childhood!

Finally, why not take advantage of the cool games on the world book day website. World Book Day – Games

Once again, thank you for your ongoing support.

Yours sincerely,

N.Pallister

Mrs N. Pallister
Deputy Headteacher
