St John Bosco Wow Moments

This month we are focusing on the virtue ‘Loving and Compassionate.’ Children have produced some work in class and have shown acts of compassion around school. As we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord in January, children, parents and staff have kindly donated baby items, tinned food and money to Brushstrokes. Thank you to all those who donated it will make a difference to the families in need.

On the 17th and 18th December the children in EYFS and KS1 performed the Nativity to their families. They did an amazing job narrating, singing and acting using loud and beautifully clear voices.

All of the children have had a lovely last day before they break up for Christmas 2019.

They have played games like pass the parcel and pin the nose on the reindeer.

All of the children really enjoyed the day.

“I really enjoyed playing the games and colouring in the Christmas pictures.”

“It was so much fun and I wish we could do it all again!”

Well done to the four Y6 pupils who have been given new roles for their hard work this term.

This photograph was taken in our new English Hub which the children were very excited to see. Remari said, “It’s better than amazing!”

Well done and thank you to all of the families who donated toys and tinned goods to Brushstrokes. This will be used for families around Sandwell who really need some extra help at this special time of year.

The children did a fantastic job at re-telling the Christmas story. They remembered their parts and sang the hymns beautifully. Each class performed one of their own hymn and we had a special feature from the ukulele club. All the children did us proud. We had a brilliant turnout, thank you to everyone who came to support the children.

This morning we had a special visit from Santa!  The children and their families  enjoyed a breakfast bap, Christmas songs  and had a chance to meet Santa in his Grotto.

The children have worked really hard this term. To celebrate their achievements we ended the term with a congrats assembly.

A few of our children took up the offer of free tickets to go and watch Worcester Warriors Women play against Waterloo at Sixways. Better than that, they got to be mascots for the day and also play tag rugby at half time along with another school attending, St John Fisher. It was a really enjoyable day. They loved being mascots, Warriors played brilliantly (winning 64-19), and the half time tag was great, with all of our children scoring at least one try!

Playing for Worcester was Taz, who has been coming into school recently for some coaching. It was great to see her in action and she spoke to our children at length after the game, helping to make the experience even better.

We will hopefully return later in the season, bringing more children along. Thank you to Taz and all at the Worcester Warriors, and well done to those who attended.

The whole school enjoyed a full day of fun and entertainment for our Christmas Fair. We were even lucky enough to receive a visit from Father Christmas, who was very generous with his time, meeting individual children. Activities on the day included face painting, karaoke and Christmas crafts. In the afternoon we all watched the film Nativity. The day raised lots of money and the children behaved well and enjoyed the day.
