We are beaming with pride! Well done, Year 6.
Fri 13 May 2022This week, children in Year Six classes around the country took their SATs tests - the first Year 6 pupils to do so in three years! Our Year Six pupils have worked incredibly hard throughout the whole school year and we couldn’t be more proud of how well they dealt with the challenges of SATs week! After two years of disrupted learning, they showed real resilience, maturity and strength of character; arriving at school each day smiling, despite their nerves. Each and every one of them gave it their all and no-one can ask for more than that! Well done Year 6, you are a credit to St. Joseph’s school and to your families.
Yesterday, they enjoyed a well deserved pizza, pyjama and movie afternoon.

Nursery learning fun!
Fri 13 May 2022Our Nursery children have been very busy this week. In their post office role play area they have been serving customers, writing letters and posting them in the post box. They have enjoyed drawing spider webs like the busy spider in the book they have been reading. In maths, they have been carefully pouring out cups of water and discussing which cup holds more or less than the other. They love reading for pleasure , working as a team to build, carefully watching their caterpillars to see if they are growing, using their funky fingers to make beautiful long caterpillars and making their own 2D shapes with pipe cleaners. Well done children!

Reception learning
Thu 05 May 2022In Reception, the children talked about the polling station on the school car park today. They talked about what it meant to have a vote and had their own class vote to decide on the story they wanted at the end of the day. #BritishValues #Democracy
A special delivery arrived then this afternoon. Each child carefully set up a special vial and brushed in their very own caterpillar. Over the next couple of weeks the children will take care of them and watch them grow and change.
