Linking Schools - When Banks Lane visited St John's!

Today Banks Lane Junior School visited St John's Primary School. We really enjoyed showing them around our school and getting to know our Banks Lane friends.

First we played circle games. Then we look them on a tour of the school. They thought our school was tiny! They also said they had a separate hall to eat in and were shocked we had no corridors! After a quick playime on the hill, we went on a trip in our local area to explore the Heaton's Common. We collected items of interest to use in nature collages during the afternoon.

Once we returned from the Common we had lunch on the hill and another playtime. The boys from St John's played football with the boys from Banks Lane! The girls enjoyed rolling down the hill!

 

After lunch we enjoyed two activities: a name game where we had to find out something we had in common with someone from the other school and a collage activity using the things we had collected in the morning.

We really enjoyed spending the day with Banks Lane. We can't wait to see Banks Lane again...we only have to wait until Wednesday to see them and their school! We are very excited!
