• The Day the Mayor came to St John's

  Wed 09 Mar 2022

  Rachel Eden, Mayor of Reading, visited St John's today to officially open our Sensory Room. Please do enjoy the really lovely photos that have managed to capture a real flavour of the visit. Many thanks are owed to The William Payne Trust and to the whole St John's community for helping us to achieve this wonderful resource.  After the official questions and unveiling, Mayor Rachel visited each classroom.

• Today is Ash Wednesday

  Wed 02 Mar 2022

  Each year, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. In 2022, Ash Wednesday falls on March 2nd, today!  Ash Wednesday focuses the Christian’s heart on repentance and prayer.

  Lent is a 40-day season (not counting Sundays) marked by repentance, fasting, reflection, and ultimately celebration. The 40-day period represents Christ’s time of temptation in the wilderness, where he fasted and was tempted. 

  Rev Claire will be leading our school service, today, with our older children. 

  

• Today is also Shrove Tuesday

  Tue 01 Mar 2022

   

  Shrove Tuesday marks the last day before Lent - a period of 40 days whereby Christians traditionally fast or give up certain foods. The 40 days represent the time that Jesus spent fasting in the desert where he resisted temptations. 

  We hoped you enjoyed some pancakes! 

  

• Happy St David's Day!
