Message from the Headteacher 

 Dear Parents/Carers, 

I felt immensely proud of the children yesterday at our Easter Bonnet Parade and to be part of the wonderful St John's school community. The Reception children led us with a wonderful service and all the children sang beautifully. Thank you also to all our families for making such beautiful head dresses. 

I hope you all have a restful Easter break and enjoy spending time with your families. 

Easter blessings to you all!

Kerry Devane - Acting Headteacher

 

Bubble Club

Come along to Bubble Club with Mrs Bubbles! (Mrs Robertson)

These fun sessions involve games, story, song, Yoga and arts & crafts. Its focus is all about nurturing ourselves and our relationships and keeping our wellbeing in tip-top shape; shiny from the inside out. The club is designed to understand and develop emotional and mental health to build happy, healthy children. We will be using parachutes, teddies, hoops, bubbles and much more! 

Snack included.

There are spaces available for Reception to Year 2. 

Mrs Bubble takes wellbeing sessions weekly in school. The sessions will run after school until 4:30pm include a snack and are £5 per session.

Please email Frankie on fdenslow@educ.somerset.gov.uk to book.
