Lots of newness!
Welcome back to all our staff and pupils at John Paul Academy. Here’s an update of all the new happenings this year!
New Clubs!
New school year, new library clubs! Pupils were able to vote via poll in the library to decide what library clubs would run this year. We then had the first meeting of our Bookworms, the pupil library committee, to decide which clubs to run, and when. Here they all are now:
We’ll have a club every day of the week:
- Monday: Movie Mondays
- Tuesday: Read and Relax
- Wednesday: Dungeons and Dragons
- Thursday: Games Club
- Friday: Cosy Craft Club
All our new clubs will kick off w/b 9th September 2024. Any interested pupil is free to come along!
New Mascot!
After 5 years of faithful service, Bellamy Book Bear is retiring. After a competition last year, we had the design for our new library mascot, with ‘The Libeery’ as our winning entry! Now all we needed was a name. How do we decide this? Library Poll! As a result of the poll (left), I am now delighted to introduce our new mascot: Eduardo The Great and Magical III!!!
New Books!
Just in time for starting back, we had a fresh delivery of books, including a full set of Dog Man graphic novels. Don’t get too excited though – the Dog Man collection is already gone! Lots of fans of the series in JPA!
New Craft Corner!
We have some crafty new pupils this year, which has led to the creation of a new Craft Corner! There are colouring pages, wordsearches, blank paper and origami paper with lots of pens, pencils and everything you could need for your creative needs!
