English - National Poetry Day
Year 6 took inspiration from Michael Rosen's poem, 'On the Move Again' and wrote their own poems. Each and every one was fuelled with emotion and powerful messages. Thomas and Majka were chosen to represent St. John's and take part in the SHARES Poetry Competition. Out of 14 primary schools, we were successful and won the event, gaining first and second place!

At Christmas, Year 6 designed Christmas cards and shared them with members of our local care homes.

RE
In RE, we have been learning about the rising of Lazarus. Children took part in conscience alley; they thought carefully about the actions of Jesus and asked the question: should Jesus have stayed by Lazarus' side whilst he suffered or did he make the right choice to stay away?
Science
In Science, we have been investigating how electricity works. We have explored different components needed to construct a range of circuits and started to understand the different electrical symbols used for each component.
