    Donations are off to Ukraine!

    This week, we received an update from the ‘Helping our Ukrainian Friends’ team. The shoeboxes you generously donated, along with donations of food, medicines and  clothing, are now starting their journey to Ukraine ready to be given to those in need in time for Christmas. This photo shows just how much there will be on the lorry this time! Without your help and that of many others, the team wouldn't be able to do this, so a sincere thank you to you all.

    They have all showed great perseverance this afternoon, learning to over-stitch with needles and felt.

    Animal Encounters at John Clare!

    Today, we have had some unusual visitors at John Clare! The whole school took part in an Animal Encounters Workshop and interacted with various creatures, including: a snake, a meerkat, a chameleon, an owl and a tarantula. The children had a wonderful time finding out all about these extraordinary animals and their incredible features and adaptations.

    This special visit was made possible through a very kind donation to school made in memory of a loved-one.
