We are all so proud (but not surprised!) of Miss Whit being named as a ‘Lockdown Hero’ by The Pearson National Teaching Awards. She goes above and beyond for the school and every day it’s clear to see that children have her heart. Congratulations Miss Whit – you’re an absolute star and we’re all very lucky to work alongside you everyday!
Today we said the first of our ‘big goodbyes’ this week as we finally wished a very happy retirement to our long serving music teacher, Mrs Hindson.
Mrs Hindson has worked at St John’s for an incredible 24 years! She had her first day of music teaching at our school back in 1997 and it is an honour that she spent her last one here too.
We held a farewell performance in our school fields this afternoon; it was wonderful to hear all the children sing together again after such a long time.
From all of us at St John’s, a huge thank you a good luck to Mrs HIndson; you will be very missed but have left a musical legacy at Ruyton that we will endeavour to continue. Mr Butler – no pressure!
The children in Hedgehog Class had an end of term treat yesterday at forest school! Here they are being super sensible, toasting their marshmallows on the camp fire.
The year 1 children have been busy learning about puppets, designing their own puppet and then making them this term. They are so proud of the new skills that they have learnt and rightly so! Here are their final products…
Hedgehog Class had an amazing time at forest school last week! They had to work as a whole class team to build the river Drumbles. They collected as many waterproof materials as possible. They then started from the top of the bank and worked their way downhill to the “lake” that they had made at the bottom. The children had to make a few adjustments to their river as they started pouring the water into it but eventually they managed to make water flow from the top all the way to the bottom! They showed great team work and determination, well done all! 💧💦
The year 1 children were busy yesterday afternoon hunting for different flowers in our school grounds as part of their “Plants” topic in science. They found lots of different flowers and then did some beautiful sketches of some of them.

Thank you to Reverend Burns, the Worship Council and the children for their contributions.
We look forward to seeing you all at our ‘normal’ service next year in the Church, along with the annual picnic lunch! Thank you for your continued support.
Here is our finished Key Worker Heroes display using some of the wonderful art that Hedgehog Class did during Arts Week! 🌈 The children did a super job and we think that the final product looks fantastic! Well done all!
The year 1 children have been learning all about puppets in their design and technology lessons this half term. Today they began designing their own hand puppet based on our theme of “food and farming”. They did a fantastic job and even got on to sewing two bits of fabric together today. We can’t wait to finish them off next week!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped us raise a whopping £788 for our Fun Run which was held earlier this term. We can’t believe how much we raised!
Thank you to the Friends for their support in creating this event – we had a blast doing it whilst it was all for a great cause. Well done Team Ruyton!
