St John's RC Primary School

St John’s RC Primary School

Statements to live by:

I co-operate with others in work and play.

We strive to instil within the children a sense of belonging within a range of communities and for them to play an active role as members of society.

The week ahead:
Our school council will be working with other school councils in the area and will be attending Alice Ingham Primary School as part of the Primary Schools Council Event on Wednesday 25 January.

The aim of the event is to share expertise and ideas and to plan our work for the year ahead.

Our school council motto:
We will try always to make our school a better place

Fire Station Visit:
We would like to thank Rochdale Fire Station for allowing our classes F2 and Rec/1 to look around the fire station and engines On Wednesday.

The children learned about fire and the dangers of fire and were told about the very important work of firemen.

The classrooms have an interactive play area replicated as a fire engine where the children role play and interpret in their own way the work of the fire service.

The children are currently learning about the local area and will be taking a look at the railways station in a future visit.

Sports:

Basketball:
St John’s played against Caldershaw Primary, St. John Fisher Primary and Spotland Primary Schools on Monday 16 January.

The games were played in good spirit and good sportsmanship and we are pleased to say that on this occasion St. John’s played very well.
