Dear Parents & Families,

Thank you for supporting and celebrating the most wonderful year. When you look back at the amazing activities and opportunities the children have experienced and the knowledge and joy they have been given it is one year to be celebrated.

Next year we will begin by welcoming you fully to all masses and whole school events so you can be even more a part of your child's school life.

Thank you for the staff and myself for the wonderful gifts,cards and wonderful messages,these are not expected but your kindness is truly appreciated.

Have a wonderful summer and we will see you all in September.

French Day at St Joseph’s

Bonjour tout le monde! This week we celebrated our French Day at St Joseph’s. The children came to school in the morning wearing a combination of French colours: blue, white and red. The aim of the day was to introduce more vocabulary to KS1 and to encourage KS2 to use conversational French in different scenarios as well as learning more about the country and the culture. Many of the KS1 classes started their days by learning songs to help them with their counting in French as well as learning about colours and animals. In KS2 classes created Fact files about France and practised asking for food in French before they were served with a delicious selection of French breakfast foods. KS1 tried croissants and chocolate brioche as well.

Throughout the day each class had the chance to learn some French dancing. Our lovely instructor, Jo, helped us learn dances such as the can-can as well as a range of country dancing moves. It was great fun.

In the afternoon Years 3, 4 and 5 became French painters; Year 3 used the work of Henri Matisse to inspire their Art work, Year 4 drew in the style of Vincent Van Gogh (who lived in France for many years) and Year 5 used watercolours and wax crayons to create a range of stunning paintings showing the water lilies at the home of Claude Monet in Giverny.

We had a lovely and inspiring day!

Beaucoup de felicitations!
