Wakin St John s and St Clement s www.stjohnsandstclements.org Friday 5 th May 2017 Dear Parents and Carers, This week all classes have been busy making a start on their new topics. Today, 5K presented a most enjoyable class assembly, which included drama and dance. Thank you to all the parents who managed to join us - it was lovely to see so many of you. The animal man paid our Reception, Y2 and Y4 classes a visit today. Each class relished the experience. On Wednesday, we held our science café for parents. Thank you to all who attended and gave positive feedback and to Miss Evans for organising this event. Next week Year 6 will be taking their SATS. The children and staff have all been working very hard to get to this point in the year. They will be coming in early each morning to begin the day with a hearty breakfast. Lots of sleep and a good breakfast is a vital start for all children.. Our thoughts and prayers will be with them. Please keep an eye on the dates we add new information weekly. Have an enjoyable weekend, Best wishes, Joseph Bell 5K Class Assembly It was delightful to share 5K s class assembly today. We heard all about different life processes and it finished with an underwater dance well-done 5K.

Large scale models in Year 3 Y3 have been helping to make the structure for our large fish model, which will be suspended from the ceiling in the downstairs foyer. Origami in Year 6 Year 6 have been practising the Japanese art of Origami (ORI means to fold and KAMI means paper. Together, they form the word, "origami.") These origami fish will make a huge shoal, which will swim across our walls.
