John Ray Juniors

Happy World Book Day. We loved seeing all the costumes the children came to school in today, sharing their favourite books and characters. Lately, we've had some great books donated from our JRJ families. Thank you. These are a fab addition to our school library. #WBD2024

Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed learning about Macbeth and created some great descriptive writing. #display #writing #Macbeth #Shakespeare #year5

🐟 We have baby news 🐟 Our new baby fish is now in its nursery to keep it safe! We have seen a second baby but it’s a little shy! Thank you Mrs Ramsay for caring for our new babies! #fish #fishtankupdates

Today we enjoyed celebrating #WorldBookDay2023 and sharing our love of books through different activities. The children and adults looked amazing as they dressed up as different characters. #books #readingforpleasure #WBD2023 @WorldBookDayUK

Year 5 and 6 thoroughly enjoyed watching the dress rehearsal of Matilda at @NotleyHigh this morning. They were amazed by the courage shown by all the pupils. It was great to see some old John Rayers. A big well done to them. #theatre #performance #matilda

He sat with some of the children representing both schools to chat about lunch times. The children were all total stars and Mrs Christian and Miss Harrison are very proud of them all. Special mentions to both catering teams who spoke passionately about the work they do.

What an exciting day! We were very proud as both JRI and JRJ helped Jamie Oliver launch his School Awards. A team from the ‘One Show’ filmed the JRIS at lunch time and then Jamie himself visited after school. He enjoyed a dinner cooked by the kitchen team.

Thank you to Amalie in 6CB for her kind donation of these books for our library. We love reading at John Ray and get very excited by new books for the library. #readingforpleasure #Reading #books #bookworms
