Our new School Council
Congratulations to our newly elected St Joseph's School Council:
Della, Hannah, Olive, Aoife, Spencer, Lacey, Sophie
This week, we held our first meeting and assigned our roles and responsibilities within this important team. The children learned first-hand about the values of democracy, respect and tolerance and what it looks like in practice!
We are all very excited to see what they will help us to achieve this year.
Bookshare Breakfasts!
We are delighted to announce that we are shortly going to launch Bookshare Breakfasts on a Friday morning, before school!
This will be a lovely time, when you are invited to come in and share a book with your child, with members of our staff, whilst also enjoying a slice of toast and juice! Siblings welcome.
We can't wait to begin these, so please watch this space for further details... !

St Francis Class (Preschool / Reception)
St Francis’ children have started their phonics and their drawing club this week! Everyone has made a fantastic start, with so much enthusiasm for their leaning. We have been finding about where Tadcaster is on a map and thinking about the kind of houses that we live in. We’ve also spent lots of time outside, and building on our learning about God’s wonderful world by making nature portraits and hunting for mini-beasts; Two of our favourite finds were moths (in cocoons) and ladybirds!
St Patrick Class (Year 3/4)
In English, we have been LOVING reading and writing about the Princess and the Pea. We wanted to get a deeper understanding of it so did some physical theatre of natural obstacles the prince might have encountered on his quest to find a princess. This one links to our Geography topic as well. Can you guess what it is?
St Therese Class (Year 5/6)
This week in St Therese, we were able to follow up last week's science work on the life-cycle of flowering plants and saw that seeds planted in cotton wool germinated. This surprised many of us as we thought seeds needed soil to grow. Now we know that they only need water to germinate but soil to become healthy plants.
Friends of St Joseph's
Although we are only a full week into the new school year, we have already been planning fun events for this term. This will include the return of Treat Fridays and a school disco!
We have our yearly review and planning meeting (AGM) on
Monday 30th September after school in the Hall.
All are welcome and we are always grateful of any support! There will be an activity table with juice and snacks if you want to join but will have little ones with you. Grown-up snacks and drinks will be on offer too.
