What our Community Says
''I look forward to transitions and meeting the new teachers and teaching assistants that will help me at St Johns. Transition times give me the chance to get to know the new staff members so I feel comfortable to learn and thrive.''
''The learning at St. Johns is fun, we have lots of opportunities to explore through different topics and even have trips/workshops that go alongside our learning.''
''I like school because you can learn new things and make new friends. My favourite subject is maths and art.''
"My favourite thing about school is that when I am down, staff at school are always there to cheer me up with a joke or words of encouragement."
I honestly cannot recommend the Toddler Group enough. My children absolutely love it. There is always something different to do/ explore and they love the singing/ dancing at the end and helping to tidy up.
Year 5 and Year 6 visited one of our Quest trust schools, Hindley Green Community Primary School today to take part in a personal development event hosted by Murphy Group. The children got to take part in a range of activities designed to teach them about the different elements of the Golborne train station project. The children were most surprised by procurement and the collective effort that goes into Murphy planning and facilitating their projects. It was clear that a lot of thought and effort had also gone into the event as the children gave feedback that they thoroughly enjoyed it. They recognised links to their learning as they needed to think hard like an engineer, work as part of a team and apply their maths skills to budget for resources to construct a bridge. Special thanks to our QUEST personal development and employment partnership leads for organising and Murphy Group for providing such a fantastic opportunity for our children to learn about careers in the construction sector. #MurphyGroup #QuestSchoolsTrust #EarlyYearsToEmployment 🚛👷👷🚋 🧱🦺🚧🏗🔩🗒📝
Reception have had a fantastic week!🐿 This week, we have enjoyed our CUSP story 'The Squirrels Who Squabbled', with the story taking place in the forest. 🌲🐿 We linked our learning to Science, exploring different animals and their habitats. The children have been developing their Skills Builder skills, particularly problem-solving, as they worked out which animals belong in the correct habitats. 🦊🦉🐰 The children have loved talking about animals, where they live and why different habitats are suitable for them. They have shown some fantastic problem-solving and teamwork skills! #Reception #CUSP #TheSquirrelsWhoSquabbled #Science #Habitats #Animals #SkillsBuilder #ProblemSolving #Teamwork #LearningThroughPlay #EarlyYears #EYFS

🐻📚 We're Going on a Bear Hunt! 🎨 Today we enjoyed reading We're Going on a Bear Hunt. We then did Drawing Club, where we used our wonderful imaginations to think about how we could trap the bear! 🐾 We came up with some fantastic ideas, including using slime, lasers and nets to catch our bear! The children loved sharing their ideas, getting creative and thinking outside the box. 💡🎨 What a fun session full of imagination, creativity and brilliant thinking! 🌟🐻
To finish our work for black history month, year 6 produced some advertising posters for his famous "Mr Kite" circus. The circus travelled and entertained the world, but it was said his favourite place to perform was Wigan. He trained and housed his horses in Wigan (just in front of the bus station)
This morning Year 2 have been planning their story in preparation to write it next week. We came up with lots of adjectives and sequenced the story. We thought about when the characters appeared in the story and what happened.
Year 2 have been looking at synonyms this afternoon. We are building up a great vocabulary bank to support our story writing next week.
Year 2 have started a new reading unit today. Lesson 1 was summarising a piece of text. We looked at news articles and had to create our own headlines for parts of the texts. This links to our skills builder career of the week as last week we were news reporters.
This week Y5 have been inspired by Young Minds Hello Yellow 💛 and our personal development initiativate, Skills Builder. As a class we have shared ways that we can promote positive well being and mental health recognising its importance for our personal development. The children were excellent ambassadors of our school values and very knowledgeable when it came to advising each other on strategies to improve their mental health and well-being. #HGSJ Love, Responsibility, Kindness, Respect 💛

💛Hello Yellow!💛 Reception looked fantastic wearing a little bit of yellow today! 🌟💛 We talked about how we feel in our minds and explored different emotions.
