They have all showed great perseverance this afternoon, learning to over-stitch with needles and felt.
Children are learning skills to eventually sew their own puppets before the end of term.

Our Key Stage 2 children took part in the Oundle Music Festival today. They were given a 'Distinction' for their performances of 'Holy Night' and 'My Own Superhero' and placed 3rd. Their performances were beautiful and we are truly proud of them all.
Our netball teams played brilliantly today at AMVC, with both teams reaching the final and playing each other, securing 1st and 2nd place for John Clare! Well done teams!
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.
Please explore and get in touch if you have any further questions.
