Eco Committee.

Here at St. John's we have elected some new Eco Gnomes. They are like the school council, but deal with the schools ecological issues. There are three Gnomes per class, and three after school club gnomes. They are dealing with several issues, and everyone wishes that they will succeed. To help them, please may you... (Look down)

Baking

This week two people are making biscuits. These biscuits are biscuits that will be decorated with icing and little silver bolls and with sprinklers .

SATs

Two weeks from now we will be doing SATs. These are tests to test our knowledge of things that we learned at school. However, these will be the last SATs ever. Next year, SATs will be replaced by single-level tests.

Trashion Show

These past three weeks in KS2 at St. John's we have been making trashion. It's fashion made out of rubbish, hence the name. We are having a trashion show tomorrow. Clips and fashion disasters to be uploaded soon! A whole KS2 performance, we have had modelling lessons, set up a catwalk, made our own rubbish clothes, and prepared for the ultimate trashion showdown!

More soon,

No energy day

Yesterday at St John's school we had a no energy day. We could use no electricity and no heating! For lights we used tiny candles, for school dinners we had cold baguettes, and the teachers couldn't use their laptops! Channel M (Virgin 878 Sky 203) came along and interviewed some of us. Also, a photographer and reporter from the M.E.N (Manchester evening news) came along and did the same and took our pictures. you can see us at http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/video/hprc/15/3/publicationdate/MEN%20news today, but over the next few days it will go to pages before that. The point of the no energy day was to see what would happen if we tried to save lots of resources. Didn't look that good, though. So the best way to save energy is not to not use it, but to not use as much.

On the 27th of march, our school's main steel band will be playing at a school in Ashton. The pans that they play are made of metal. Certain parts are tuned to certain notes, and you hit them to play that note. You pay to play the pans, and you can first start in year 2. The main band is year 6 only, and the main band goes out and plays in different places. We have played at Handforth Dean, we play at a St.George's parade, and we play at church fairs. However, you pay fifty pounds a term. There will be upcoming info on concerts, so stay tuned!

This week is the last week before we go to Borreatton Park.At Borreatton Park we will be doing activities such as zip wire, abseiling, raft building and more.We will stay there for five days.A lot of things have to be packed.Every one is excited.
