We are really pleased to announce that the jumble sale and mufti day for Sri Lanka has raised an amazing £1,134.00! Brian Catlin, Trustee and Treasurer of the RagallaAid Trust, emailed us to say "Thank you for your news of your fundraising - what a fantastic result! Thank you for thinking of us and the people of Sri Lanka at this time and please pass on our thanks to anyone who donated or bought things to achieve such a wonderful total.”

This week gardening club went on a trip the Bishop's Palace walled garden to see what they had growing. We found asparagus, broad beans, raspberries and gooseberries, celery, turnips and an apple orchard. We looked at how the gardeners there keep plants protected against frost using bell jars. We also had a go at watering the tomato plants in their amazing greenhouse. Highlights of the trip included eating the peas we had grown as a snack, looking at the beautiful wisteria, and also finding a black cat which was a source of great excitement. We also met one of the friendly gardeners and asked her to come and visit our school garden!

Thank You St. John’s – from Sri Lanka

The Royal College of Music, Royal Albert Hall and Tri-borough Music Hub want to help break down barriers that prevent families from accessing music education outside of school. Music lessons and extra-curricular activities can be prohibitively expensive for many. Get, Set, Play is a family-friendly, fun and welcoming Saturday music programme where parents, grandparents and carers can, maybe for the first time, learn music alongside their children.SUMMER TERMSaturday 8, 15, 22, 29 June, 6, 14 July 10 –11am Pimlico Academy, Lupus St, Pimlico, London SW1V 3AT or2pm–3pm St Clement Church, 95 Sirdar Rd, London W11 4EQTo book your tickets, please phone the RCM Box Office on: 020 7591 4314

Year 4 Trip to the WRWA Recycling Centre

We enjoyed our trip to the recycling centre so much more than we thought we would. It was amazing to see the big cubes of paper and plastic ready to be recycled. The enormous claw going into the rubbish reminded us of Toy Story and it was amazing to get so close to it. We also learned the centre receives 1000 tons of general waste every day: that is 1 000 000 kg ! This made us think more about: REDUCE and REUSE not just RECYCLE. Sitting in a room made up of recycled materials was interesting as well as the worms in the compost bin. We will be sharing more facts about this trip through our Mudlarks project. We are already thinking hard about what we should be doing at school and at home.Albie and Honour

20th – 24th May

Please would parents ensure their child’s uniform is labelled clearly. The office staff are finding a great deal of their time is spent matching uniform items to pupils.

What a wonderful way to let the community know how

John’s. A huge thank you to Mr and Mrs Price for leading on

Love One AnotherIn year 5, we have been learning about the third pillar, Zakat, which states Muslims should give 2.5% of their earnings to charity each year. After class discussions around this, we felt inspired to act on this and live up to our school motto of ‘Love One Another’ so, we want to collect food to donate to the Hammersmith and Fulham food bank. The food will be going to people who are in need of help and are less fortunate so we would appreciate your donations.Please donate any of the following:tinned fruit, biscuits, crisps, jars of sauces, pasta, rice, UHT milk, cartoon juices and anything that has a long shelf life and does not go off quickly.Donations should be handed in by Friday 7th June 2019By Audrey and Max
