Poetry comes alive with Kimba King!
We were delighted to welcome acclaimed poet, author and spoken-word artist Kimba King to St John’s on Tuesday for an inspiring day of poetry workshops with pupils from Years 3 to 6.
Through energetic performances and infectious enthusiasm, Kimba showed the boys that poetry is about so much more than finding words that rhyme. Through a series of engaging activities, they explored how rhythm, rhyme, imagery, wordplay and figurative language can bring their writing to life.
The workshops encouraged pupils to experiment with language, develop their ideas and, most importantly, find their own voice as writers. It was wonderful to see them embracing the challenge, sharing their ideas and discovering just how much they can do with words.
A huge thank you to Kimba for an inspiring and memorable day!

Making the most of the great outdoors!
Our pupils love spending their break times in the woods, exploring, playing and making the most of the extensive outdoor space available to them.
Year 3 pupils are delving into the history of St John’s. This week, they discovered the story of the 1930 fire at Barrow Point House before putting their learning into practice by writing newspaper articles packed with some fantastic alliteration!

Our Nursery pupils have been talking about the people who are special to them and celebrating the wonderful things that make each of us unique.
During Show & Tell, the children proudly shared pictures of the important people in their lives, while their fingerprint artwork captured the special people who make their families and homes unique.
A lovely opportunity to celebrate love, belonging and the people who mean the most to us!

The Art Department is in full swing! Year 3 boys have been learning all about backgrounds, middlegrounds and foregrounds, while some of our Year 4 artists have already completed their fantastic skeleton hand studies.
Year 5 have been busy creating and exploring patterns, and our Year 6 boys are learning to paint like Monet, experimenting with his beautiful Impressionist style.
It’s wonderful to see so much creativity, curiosity and talent on display.
