The last week of this half term has been designated as a special health and fitness activity week. During the four days of that final week the pupils will have a number of special activities to follow designed to help promote a healthy life style. I am sure many of you are aware of the growing problem of the lack of physical activities children are undertaking and the associated health issues such as obesity. This is certainly on the national agenda and
St. John’s is committed to making children aware of the importance of being fit and active.
During activity week the traditional curriculum will be abandoned in favour of a number of physical and fun activities. Further details will be circulated to each year group over the next week to keep you fully informed of what your child can look forward to in the week.
Activity week
Parking
I am pleased to inform you that we have received fewer complaints about parking in recent weeks. I would like to thank parents for their support in parking carefully and respecting local resident’s access to their property.
We do hope that now summer is approaching more pupils will take up the option of walking to school, thus reducing the amount of cars in the immediate area. Obviously this is also healthier for the individuals and a lot better for the environment. We also encourage those Year 6 pupils who live in the village to walk home by themselves where possible to help them become more self-confident and responsible in preparation for their time at high school.
Reminder
Friday 26th May our academy will be closed as it is Teacher Training Day.
