MAYORAL VISIT
The Mayor visited school to show the children the mayoral robes and chain, as well as explaining his role. We were delighted to be able to take this opportunity to present a cheque, for £394.10, for his chosen charity - Wish Upon A Star. These funds had been raised through donations received at the KS2 production of Cinderella & Rockerfella.

Wheeler, the Tour of Britain Mascot, being cheered on by our Sports Ambassadors. Wheeler came to John Harrison to talk to the children about the race that will go past our school in September. We are all looking forward to cheering the riders on.
HEAD BOY & HEAD GIRL
Election news! Congratulation to Thomas and Ruby for being elected as Head Boy & Head Girl in our school. The selection process involved applying, canvassing and giving speeches to all classes. We look forward to watching them develop their roles in the future.
CHRISTIAN VALUES & AID AFTERNOON
On Friday 19th May we celebrated our first Christian Values afternoon at John Harrison where we took time to reflect on what makes our values distinctly Christian. In KS2 the children rotated around the classes, exploring 2 values at a time and having chance to reflect on what it means. They each completed a cross containing our values and wrote what it means to them.
KS1 joined together to explore the values together throughout the whole day, creating a wonderful walk through the discussions along the corridor in photos.
Parents, Governors and Grandparents joined us from 2:30pm for coffee and biscuits in the hall and raised a wonderful £152 for Christian Aid, as well a getting the chance to look at their children's hard work. Rev. Girtchen and members of Holy Trinity Church also came along as well as Mr Derek Carr from Barton Evangelical Church.
It was a wonderful opportunity to pause during Christian Aid week and both reflect and live our values, as well as explore and enjoy our special school identity as a church school.
