This week our Year 5 RRS Ambassadors, Faith Group and School Council led our World Toilet Day assembly. This is an annual United Nations observance day to tackle the global sanitation crisis. Our Ambassadors raised awareness of the 3.5 billion people living without safe toilets and 2.2 billion people living without safe drinking water. They were keen to link this to Article 24: Every child has the right to the best possible health. Governments must provide good quality health

Year 3 have been celebrating Earth Day this week. The class have been gardening and weeding outside the office and the school gates. They have also created pledges and planted some watercress to increase the use of oxygen for humans.

This week, our children have been incredibly busy looking after their environment and putting their green thumbs to the test. They have had a wonderful time getting outdoors and planting seeds, beautiful flowers, potatoes, cress and sunflower seeds! Alongside weeding the flowerbeds and enthusiastically picking up litter to keep our grounds clean, they have been learning that every small action—whether it’s remembering to recycle , turning off the classroom lights, or simply p

Our Key Stage 1 scientists had a blast this week in Science Club exploring the cool world of sublimation and gas expansion. Using dry ice and custom-built "vapor blasters," children observed firsthand how solid carbon dioxide turns directly into a thick, swirling mist. The classroom was filled with excitement (and plenty of fog!) as everyone donned their safety goggles to experiment with pressure and states of matter. It was a fantastic afternoon of hands-on discovery that pr

The nursery children listened to the Easter story. They waved palm leaves and shouted “Hosanna” as Jesus rode into the city on a donkey. They saw that Jesus had a special meal with his friends and thought he might have drunk some water. They remembered that they pray like Jesus did in the special garden. They were shocked to hear that the soldiers came and took Jesus away. When Jesus died, his friends put him in a special cave. Henry was shocked to see that Jesus wasn’t in th

To celebrate and encourage active travel, Nursery and Reception were invited to get creative, decorate their wheels, and ride their bikes and scooters into school for a spectacular grand parade. At the end of the school day, the children paraded their blinged-up bikes and sparkled scooters around the playground as parents cheered and celebrated their hard work. Well done all for your dazzling designs!

A huge well done to Grace in Year 6 for brilliantly leading our Language of the Month! Grace took us on a wonderful journey to Italy, confidently sharing her beautiful language and culture with everyone. During her fantastic presentation, she taught us how to greet each other with a friendly "Ciao" (hello) and how to say "Arrivederci" (goodbye). We also learned about incredible historical landmarks to visit in Rome, such as the famous Colosseum. Fun Fact from Grace: Did you k

Year 5 visited Conerstone church for the Easter experience. The class travelled back 2,000 years to Jesus’ time. They immersed themselves in the Easter story in real-time and met characters who were at crucial events from the last days before Jesus’ death, and those after his resurrection. The class then went to the discovery zone to investigate how the death of Jesus has had an impact on the lives of Christians in present day. Some of the important figures were: Mary Berry,

Our Year 3 boys represented us at a football competition between many schools in the borough. They played with passion and showed great sportsmanship. We are so proud of them.

For our Global Neighbours project, we looked into our food wastage from school dinners. We used our record book of daily waste and added it together for Autumn term, and again for Spring term. We were shocked to find out how much waste we had created, and shared this news with the school. We hope our presentation helps our food wastage decrease in them Summer term.

We were delighted to celebrate World Maths Day, with a special shout out to the Anning Y4 group who have been participating in our Active Maths sessions. As part of the Chelsea Football Club Foundation’s outreach schools programme, these pupils have been proving that numeracy isn't just about sitting at a desk, it’s about teamwork, movement and strategy! Whether they were calculating the cost of having a player out of action or planning a social club event with a set budget,

Learning leaped off the pages of our workbooks in British Science Week as we welcomed a very special visit from Animal Club . Children had the chance to get up close and ignite their curiosity with some truly fascinating creatures. The visit was led by an expert "Ranger," who introduced us to a diverse lineup of animal ambassadors. From the scaly and mysterious to the soft and cuddly, I our children met everything from snakes and lizards to giant millipedes and fluffy mammals

The pupils performed their songs at the Lifting Young Voices Choir Concert at All Saints Church, which was a packed event attended by many families. Year 3 and 4 have worked hard throughout the term to develop their singing skills in music lessons, and the concert provided a wonderful opportunity for them to showcase their talents and celebrate their achievements.

Year 3 had a fantastic time during British Science Week. The theme was Curiosity. The class investigated the question: Does the way food looks change how it tastes? The class tasted a variety of different fruits and vegetables that were wonky looking against organic perfect produce and tested their theories. The class also had a chance to taste radishes and look at how smell could impact their view. The class went to the Animal Ark session and also met different types of anim

St John’s were lucky enough to be represented by Laia Bowen Yr 1 and Isabel Chung Yr 6 in the Kingston Rotary Club competition. The theme this year was ‘I grow in or on the ground and people eat me.’ Laila won 2nd prize in the Yr 1 category and Isabel won 1st prize in the Yr 6 category. They both received their prize from the Mayor of Kingston. Well done to both girls for their wonderful arwork. We are very proud of you.

Year 3 had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day 2026. The class had a wonderful time in assembly, proudly parading their outfits. They created mini “tempting books” to recommend stories they had enjoyed and even visited Nursery and Reception to read to the younger children.

Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed World Book Day. From The Enormous Crocodile to Chewbacca, we all felt inspired and enjoyed creating 'tempting mini books' to share and hopefully convince someone to read a new book!

Our JRSOs from Year 6, Kashfiya, Berfu, Chelsie and Neha, launched a whole school assembly on Active Travel talking specifically about its benefits. Active travel is good for our health as it strengthens our muscles and bones and gets us fitter. It's good for our wellbeing as walking together to school is a good opportunity for quality time with friends and fsmily. It's good for the environment as it does not pollute the air and it makes our roads safer with fewer cars. Thank

A group of Year 3's and Year 4's represented our school at a Cross-country event. The event involved a path through the woods, up a hill and even down a muddy path. We are very proud of these determined runners!

Year 5 attended an amazing science workshop on Wednesday 4th March at Surbiton High School. It was about Sustainability. We learned that balancing fire safety and environmental sustainability is important. Stepping back in time, we learned about the first energy generator discovered by the famous scientist - Michael Faraday (aka ‘Father of Electricity’) - and reflecting on innovative ways of generating electricity today through the use of Wind Turbines and Hydroelectricity.
