KS1 had a fantastic surprise in celebrations assembly today when they were visited by two mermaids!
It was wonderful to be visited by parent and author Sarah McDermott, and hearing all about her new story 'A Slippery Secret' (sequel to 'A Sweet Secret') which is available to buy now.
The children were very lucky to receive a special reading of the story by Sarah, as well as being allowed the opportunity to ask her questions about what it is like to be an author.
Furthermore, it was lovely to celebrate the work of our writers at St John's. Children were selected across Year 1 and 2 for their excellent effort in writing. It was great to share the children's brilliant work with the school. These children received a Headteacher's award from Sarah. Well done to all of our brilliant writers and thank you to Sarah for visiting us!
