Year 2 Art Day
Mon 02 Oct 2023Year 2 really enjoyed their recent art day with the focus 'Explore and Draw'. The children learnt about the work of two artists - Lorna Crane and Nicola White who use natural resources to create their art. Inspired by these artists, the children created their own pictures using natural resources. The children were then introduced to sketching pencils and they had a go at some continuous line drawing which at first was very tricky to do. To finish their fantastic day, they created pictures of wax resistant autumn leaves.

Science Award success for St. Joseph's!
Thu 28 Sep 2023We've achieved another award! We are delighted to have achieved the Primary Science Quality Mark. A special congratulations and well done to Miss Maher, our school Science leader.
Helen Sizer, PSQM Co-Director said: ‘By enabling effective science leadership, PSQM is powering the potential of all children to see the relevance and importance of science in their lives, now and in the future. Schools that have achieved a Primary Science Quality Mark have demonstrated a significant commitment to science leadership, teaching and learning and the profile and quality of science in each accredited school is very high. Science subject leaders, their colleagues, headteachers, children, parents and governors should be very proud.”
