Reception's Week with The Little Red Hen! This week, our Reception class have been busy learning all about The Little Red Hen. We took a lovely walk to the local bakery, where we watched the bakers at work and even got to taste some freshly baked bread – it was delicious! Later in the week, we rolled up our sleeves and made our own bread in class. What a wonderful, hands-on way to bring our story to life! #stjohnswey #growingandlearningtogether

Today, Friday 24th October, we held the annual Year 5 and 6 house tournaments. All teams played brilliantly and we had some super goals and teamwork. The winners for both netball and football were the Hawks - what an amazing day they've had! #stjohnswey #growingandlearningtogether
