The arrival of “Nature’s Classroom” has made an exciting change to our daily routines at St John’s as the outdoor becomes a wonderful place to study and to ‘simply be’. Used for reading sessions, PSHE, year group meetings and Art,...
Year 5 loved their latest micro-adventure right here on our school grounds!
Inspired by Claude Monet, Year 6 have been busy creating beautiful lily pad clay sculptures in their art lessons. Studying Monet’s iconic water lilies and the Japanese bridge at Giverny, the boys are bringing Impressionist magic to life. We can’t wait to see their finished pieces.
Year 4 boys took part in a triangular fixture at York House, and it was fantastic to see them in action. Their teamwork, skills, and confidence on the pitch have progressed so much since last year, and they played with brilliant spirit throughout. A huge well done to the whole team!

Reception have been exploring the marvellous world of measurement! From books and building blocks to water bottles and teddy bears, they’ve been busy weighing, pouring, and comparing. Little mathematicians in the making, having plenty of fun along the way.
Science in action across every year group!
Year 5 explored materials in the lab, testing them for stretchiness.
Year 6 learnt how to use the Bunsen burner safely.
Year 8 took science outdoors, testing the formula speed = distance ÷ time by running and throwing a ball.
This week in Art, Year 3 had fun experimenting with glow-in-the-dark paints under UV light! Year 5 explored the work of Gustav Klimt and got creative with spray foam to make seaweed sculptures and Year 6 have been working with clay to craft their own unique sculptures!

Year 1 and 2 boys had a wonderful time learning the basics of badminton with Coach Darbar from Gala Academy. Using colorful balloons to keep the game fun and friendly, our youngest pupils built coordination and confidence while sharing lots of laughter. This engaging session is part of our co-curricular programme, giving children the chance to explore new skills in a playful and supportive environment.

Our Year 1 STEM club had a fantastic time this week, becoming structural engineers for a super outdoor session. Working in pairs, the boys designed and built shelters for small characters, exploring how different materials and shapes create strong, stable structures. They used a variety of natural resources from sticks and leaves found in Nature’s Classroom to wood chips, charred logs and pits in the ground.
The boys were very proud to showcase their creative shelters!
