We have had a wonderful first week back at St John's this week! I had the pleasure of seeing some lovely writing from our Reception children who were very proud of their sentences containing the 'oa' sound!

We have some exciting things coming up this term and we will send out a newsletter next week with important dates.

Have a lovely weekend!
Mrs Rossington
