Well done to all the year six children who have finished off your last few days with us in style. Your behaviour has been brilliant, your attitude has been awesome and the memories you have left us with are magnificent.
Good luck in year seven - you have shown all of us at St. John's that you will succeed at secondary school and do yourselves proud as you continue through school life.
God Bless - Mr. Averis
We have published some excellent information to help parents understand what Pokémon Go is. The game is designed to be exciting and challenging for children, but there are some, potentially, significant costs and safety concerns that this easy to read leaflet will help parents address with you children. CLICK HERE.
Please note that this information is on our 'e-safety for parents' page where we provide lots of information for parents to help bring up children safely in an electronic world. CLICK HERE, to have a look at all the information that we have for parents.
We also have an e-safety page for children that we encourage them to use to help themselves use their computers, phones and tablets safely. CLICK HERE to have a look at the children's page.
I enclose a message from the Diocese of Derbyshire below regarding the welcoming of Derbyshire's new bishop.
Welcome Bishop Jan to Derbyshire
For her Welcome Service on Wednesday 7th September (Derby Cathedral, 7pm) we are asking children to send her a postcard explaining why Derbyshire is an amazing place to live.
A template is attached, we ask that they draw a picture and write a short message and send them to us by 26 August. CLICK HERE.
They can be sent by email to communications@derby.anglican.org or posted to us: Communications Office, Derby Church House, Full Street, Derby, DE1 3DR.
Please include the child’s name, age, School or church and a contact email address for a parent or guardian / teacher. If the child would be interested in reading out their message at the service please let us know.
Children will be bringing home lots of information today, Tuesday 12th July. As well as their annual written report, children are bringing home a newsletter, information about their class teachers for next year and year two children are bringing home a separate letter about their classes when they join year three. All of the information going home is available on our website as well. Please click on the links below to take you to the relevant pages.
Dear Parents,
I am sure you will be pleased to know that our Year 6 children have arrived safely at PGL Boreaton Park today and are getting ready to have their lunch as I type.
Please remember photographs will be added to the Y6 class page throughout the weekend. I have set up a page for each day for you to see the fun they are all getting up to.
Enjoy your weekend, I'm sure they will!
Kind regards,
Mrs Carvell
