Weekly News Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

🎄 It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas at St John’s! 🎅

A big thank you to Winnie’s dad in Rabbits and Sophia’s dad in Foxes. Thanks to their help, we now have sparkling lights on the tree in the church grounds ✨ and two beautiful Christmas trees—one in the hall and one in the playground 🎄🎄.

We switched on the lights on the big tree on Thursday and had great fun celebrating with a snow machine ❄️😊

Thank you for your kind donations for the Christmas Fair!
Please come along and support us today in the Town Hall 🏛️—we look forward to sharing some Christmas cheer with you 🎁✨
We have a choir performing at 4pm 🎶. Bring your family and friends! ❤️

Warm regards,

Kerry Devane (Headteacher)
