Summer Activities Club
We are pleased to launch the Summer Activities programme which will run between 26th July - 18th August.
Following its success in 2016 we will again be running a Summer
Activities Club in our Eagles facility this year. The club will be lead by our Sports Coach , Mark Corbett and will run for the first 3 weeks and 3 days of the summer break for children in reception year and above.
The popular option of special visits has again been included and these exciting opportunities are listed in this brochure. It is important to note however that numbers for these excursions are limited and will be offered on a first come first served basis.
We are able to accommodate children for single days or any combination of days during the programme and parents are now able to make bookings from this date.
Please note that in line with normal Eagles procedures payment should
be made at the same time as submitting a booking form. Bookings are now being taken and we hope that parents find the club useful
to them.
If you're struggling to print the booking form we'll have some available at reception.

#riddlemethis Stimulus Shock #3
This morning the pupils experienced the third stimulus shock which started at 9am with a video that was meant to be seen by a partner school in the USA of Mr Ayres introducing St John's.
BUT this video was taken over by the Riddler! (video below)
The Riddler went on to give our students a clue into finding the riddle that needed to be solved.. This triggered scenes of panic in the classroom where the children needed to find it. Little did they know that the riddle was under their desks!
Once this was found the next stage was to solve the riddle which would lead them to watch the second video clip which was live (not really) from a secret location. The Riddler threatened to cut off all the power in Essington resulting in no more Xbox and iPhone usage..........
The videos are intended to spark discussions on what's happening which leads into various teacher led literacy tasks which the students can really engage with.
Later on the children attended an assembly where Mr Fleet explained about the mornings events and fully explained it wasn't real, but just the latest Stimulus Shock.
The short clips have been added below to give you a sense of what the children participated in this morning and hopefully you'll hear more about it this evening.
Tri Golf Success
Congratulations to our Year 3/4 golf team.
The competition was held at Cheslyn Hay High school, with 9 schools attending, Some schools travelling some distance.
As this was our first attempt at golf, we didn’t quite know what to expect. However all 10 children were ready for the challenge, after 6 weeks practice.
All children played their part in achieving first place and now have the opportunity to compete in the county finals.
I would also like to thank the vast amount of spectators that came to watch their child’s success.
Mr Corbett
