Heritage Skills Event Fifteen of our students attended a workshop session in Perth City Centre aimed at promoting careers using traditional building skills. The event, organised by Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust, gave the pupils an experience of using traditional skills of carpentry, stone masonry, slating and painting. Our students thoroughly enjoyed the event, and some of them highly impressed the organisers! The event was even attended by Depute First Minister, John Swinney MSP, who took time out of his busy schedule to chat to our students and congratulate them for taking part. Primary Language Ambassadors Welcome to our new group of P5-7 Language Ambassadors for this year! They are enthusiastic about celebrating all the languages spoken in St John's Academy and are looking forward to supporting language learning throughout the school. This year's Language Ambassadors are already bursting with ideas, including competitions, lunch clubs and quizzes. Their first task has been to celebrate 'European Day of Languages' on Thursday, 26th September. European Day of Languages On Thursday, 26th September, we celebrated the European Day of Languages. Many classes took part in numerous activities for the promotion of languages. We had fun dressing up in costumes from around the world, completed quizzes about Europe, translated Follow us on Twitter music titles and increased our vocabulary for @sja_languages greeting people in a language other than their mother tongue as well as discussing the benefits of having knowledge of more than one language. Our pupils approached the many activities with great gusto! In addition, on a recent visit to the school, Bishop Stephen Robson was more than happy to help fly the language flag by joining the Senior Leadership Team for a photograph to celebrate this special day. -
