John Flamsteed school are inviting year five children to take part in this Easter competition. 

All details are in the poster below. 

Good luck

We have received a very generous donations of 5 boxes of red noses that we are able to sell in school tomorrow. 

Children are invited to earn a bit of extra pocket money tonight to purchase a nose for the recommended price of £2. Please bring your pocket money into school tomorrow. 

All the money we receive will go to Comic Relief. 

The noses will be on sale at playtime. 

At time of writing our year three children are on the bus on the way back from Magna having enjoyed their day at the museum. 

I have been asked by the coach company to pass on their apologies for the mistake with the bus they sent to St. John's this morning to take our children on their school trip to Magna. Unfortunately, they sent a coach without enough seats for all the booked children and staff to travel on. This wasn't realised until our children started to get on the coach at about 9.30am. 

The driver realised the mistake their company had made and rang through for a larger coach to be delivered. 

As soon as the correct sized coach arrived the children were able to get on their way for their day at Magna at about 10.15am. 

Whilst waiting for the correct bus to arrive the children were safe in school with teachers. 

I look forward to letting you know any other information, as I get it, as we continue to liaise with the coach company.

Mr. R. Averis

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Comic Relief we will be holding a non-uniform day, a cake sale, sharing jokes and learning about this cause.

Please donate your baked goodies for the cake sale on Friday morning, 21st of March, in C block (Year 4).

All children will be encouraged to dress in red, for a donation of 50p and bring along a favourite joke, which they will share in class.

Please ensure your child’s money for the cake sale is in a named envelope or purse.

Your support in raising money for Red Nose Day is gratefully appreciated, which this year goes towards charities who help for those experiencing homelessness and food deprivation.

Thank you

After enjoying their final activities this morning and lunch at White Hall, the children are now on their way back to normality on time.

I'm sure you're all looking forward to having them back today.

A huge thank you to all the staff for their hard work making sure this was fun for everyone.

As another day of activities draws to a close the children are just finishing off their hot chocolate made with Mrs Newton and will soon be settling down for their final night away.

They are all having a great time!

One more sleep and your children will be home with exciting stories to tell, memories to last a lifetime and all their dirty washing!

My morning update for you is that the children had a brilliant night last night. There were no tears from anyone.......including the staff! 😂

The weather update this morning says flurries are forecast. That will make the stream scramble a cold one for them all today🥶. Luckily, it says it will only last for 9 minutes but exciting nonetheless!

Breakfast soon (8:30 a.m. ish) to get them all ready and refuelled for a busy and action packed day ahead.

Update - 10.03.25 12:55 p.m.

I'm pleased to report that the children have arrived safely at White Hall - just before 12:00. They have all had their lunch and are now getting ready/going out for their first activity of the day.

Miss Bennett has shared with me that everyone is happy and VERY EXCITED!
