Our Astounding Footballers

A huge, hearty well done to our girls' football team who competed so brilliantly at the Girls' Football Borough Final at Powerleague on Tuesday. Despite the cold, damp weather everyone gave 100% on the pitch and we all had a great day.

After a useful coaching session in the morning, the team played a series of matches through the rest of the day, scoring enough points to make it through to an exciting semi-final, which they coasted through, and a final match against Woodley, who played superbly and eventually won the competition. Our girls were thrilled to take the second place spot, and are determined to come back next year and go one better!

Thank you and well done once again to all the players who came along to represent St John's - you all behaved and competed brilliantly and it was a pleasure to take you along.

Thank you also to the competition organisers, and to the parents who were able to help with lifts or come along to show their support. Big thanks also, of course, to our coaches, Clayton and Kelly, both of whom have done lots of hard work with the team over the last few months.

Just a reminder that our girls' football club is open to ALL girls from Year 3 to Year 6 and happens after school every Monday, from 3:15 to 4:30. Subs are £2 per session. We're setting up more matches against other Stockport schools for the new year, so let's try and get even more of our girls involved in football at school.

Mr Ellis

This week we have been doing tests. We have enjoyed these. We have been making a Viking long boat and we have been swimming. Last week we went to Mellor. We found out alot about archaeology. We have also been doing problems with money

Today was harvest festival. We went to church and had lots of fun. We have been writing newspaper reports about anglo Saxons.

Tonight we are looking forward to our barbeque and disco. This week we have been learning about the Vikings and Saxons. We are looking forward to our trip to Mellor to visit an archaeological dig. Billy won tigger this week and we have been learning about co-ordinates. We have been helping our Reception buddies, which has been brilliant.

Mount Kilimanjaro is both the tallest mountain on the African continent and the highest free standing mountain in the world

Typically only 15% of climbers at any given time succeed with their summit attempt of Kilimanjaro

The oldest person to successfully reach Uhuru Peak was Valtee Daniel aged 87 years

On Uhuru Peak there is a wooden box containing a book in which almost every individual to reach the summit has recorded their impressions of the world from the highest point on the African continent.

The minimum age limit set by the National park Authorities for trekking to Uhuru is 12 years old

Class H flowerbed

This is a picture of Class H with the finished flowerbed we made with Mrs Whillance and Mr Stock.

Mrs Whillance showed us how to look after the plants and care for them.We planted marigold's, dizzy lizzy's and fuchsia's now we have planted them in the flower bed and I think it looks really good
