DT and Art Evening
On Tuesday 24th June the children of St Joseph’s held a fantastic exhibition of their Art and Design and Technology work. There were wonderful examples of children’s work from reception to Year 6.
All of the children proved themselves to be very talented and creative! Each class also cooked and decorated cakes and biscuits to sell at the event which proved to be very popular! There was fantastic support from parents and family who came in their droves to look at the exhibition of work and of course to sample the cakes and biscuits.
The event was a huge success and we managed to raise £264 which will help to buy resources in school. Again we would like to thank everyone who contributed to this fantastic event.

Year 4 Are The Champions!
Last Wednesday, 8 year 4 children took part in a Multi-skills Challenge event at St. Thomas More High School.
All the activities involved dribbling, running, throwing and target hitting. There were 10 different activities. We liked throwing the ball at the target the best. Our worst event seemed to be getting the basketball through the hoop, but we tried really hard in all the events.
At the end of the competition the points from all the events were collected. We hoped that we had got a medal but to our surprise we actually won the event beating Highfield St. Joseph’s by one point.
We received gold medals and a lovely big trophy. Team managers Miss Shepherdson and Mr Hannah said we were fantastic and good sportsmen.

Well Done Children!!
The charity Samaritan's Purse were extremely pleased with the response by the children of St. Joseph's to their appeal.
The children managed to make 107 shoe boxes for children less fortunate than ourselves. These boxes will be sent to children in different countries making the joy of Christmas spread around the world.

Mathematics Evening for Year 3 and 4
Dear Parents or Guardians
Have you ever wondered which addition or subtraction method they are doing at school or how do their sums look so different from when I was at school?
Well here is your chance to find out how the children are expected to do various calculations in year 4 and 3.
There is a meeting for parents to find out about ‘Maths Methods’ on Wednesday 31st October at 4:30 p.m. This session will last just over an hour and will hopefully be informative, so you can support your children with homework or just generally at home.
I hope you will take up this opportunity to extend your understanding of how the children work but don’t be too worried there won’t be a test at the end of it.

Children Enjoy Pantomime in the School
As part of the school's policy of encouraging children to experience a wide and varied curriculum, the children had the pleasure of welcoming the West Midland Theatre Company to our school. The theatre group entertained the children with the pantomime "Jack and The Beanstalk." Some of the children were even asked to join in.
All of the children thought it was so good that we should invite them back again next year.
This pantomime was possible through the fund raising efforts of the Friends of St. Joseph's.
