• Year 3 are Computing whizzes

  Thu 12 Mar 2026 Mrs Burton and Mr Smith

  This week in computing Year 3 have started to create their own branching database. We continued to develop our understanding of ordering objects/images in a branching database structure. We used an online database tool to arrange objects and created our own questions with yes/no answers. We were then able to test our branching database. 

  

• No Discrimination Day - Year 6

  Fri 06 Mar 2026 Miss Hardman and Miss Brittain

  This week, we discussed different forms discrimination can take. We then talked about ways we had seen people tackle discrimination and ways we could make others feel special and included. We created a paper chain of examples we had seen or were committing to do ourselves.

  

• Year 2 are Marvellous at Maths…

  Fri 06 Mar 2026

  Thursday was a lovely celebration of World Book Day! We loved seeing everyone’s wonderful hats. So much effort and thought was put into them all.
   

  Great job, Year 2!

• No Discrimination Day - Year 3

  Mon 02 Mar 2026 Mrs Burton and Mr Smith

  Yesterday was No Discrimination Day and we have celebrated this in school today. We took part in a circle time focused on respect, tolerance and celebrating our differences. 
  We started our circle time looking at what makes us different? and then looked at what makes us the same?  
   

  As a class we made a kindness chain. Each link represented an act of kindness they have done or witnessed, linked to tolerance and respect. 
  We are proud to be part of St John’s which is a No Outsiders school. Here we celebrate everyone.
