Mon 13 Jun 2022In Science today, Year 2 conducted an experiment called 'Cloud in a jar'. As the 'clouds' fill up, more 'rain' makes its way through the cloud and drops into the water underneath in the jar. They also looked at the water cycle and why rain is important for our planet. Well done Year 2.

Growing our own vegetables!
Mon 13 Jun 2022We were delighted to sell the first of the vegetables grown by the children at the end of the day today! Just look at the fantastic potatoes and spring onions we have grown! We are learning lots about where our food comes from and developing our gardening skills. We look forward to selling more over the weeks and months to come with the proceeds going to CAFOD to help others around the world grow their own crops.

Disability awareness with BGT finalist Eva Abley
Fri 10 Jun 2022We had a very special visitor in school today ... Britain's Got Talent finalist, Eva Abley! The children were very proud to find out that Eva is a St. Joseph's past pupil! Eva attended our school until Year 2 and has fond memories of her time here. She spoke to the children in assembly this morning; helping them to understand more about disabilities and the importance of including others and spreading kindness to everyone. Eva then spent time in each classroom to allow the children chance to ask her more questions.
Thank you, Eva - you are a true inspiration! We hope to see you back at St. Joseph's soon and can't wait to see what you get up to in the future.

Big Ben restoration - live lesson
Thu 09 Jun 2022Years 4 and 5 took part in a special live lesson about the restoration of Big Ben today. They learnt about the history of Big Ben through archive footage. A presenter interviewed a historian, an engineer, an electrician and a project manager to find out what has been happening on the restoration project of Big Ben and the Elizabeth Tower over the last 5 years.
The lights of the clock will now be LEDs and colour changing for special events. The children were fascinated to discover that the belfry bell has a large crack in it from the old striking hammer and that each clock face has its own room!
