St. John’s RC Primary - What a week we have had!

We have had an extremely busy week here at St. John’s. We started off on Monday with the M6 Theatre production of “Mavis Sparkle” for classes 1, 2 and 3.

On Tuesday we had a special guest, Mr Jonathan Crown from Project Harar, in assembly to give a talk about his work for the children in Harar and to thank you for all your generous donations to the cause. This was followed by the school disco in the evening.

Thursday we had our Christmas dinner in the hall for all children and staff.
A special thank you to Miss Krystyna and Miss Gill for preparing a delicious meal, the dinner ladies for supervising the children and last but not least for the beautiful table decorations, Mrs Orford, Mrs Fullalove and Miss Aspray.
