• World Book Day Celebrations

  Fri 03 Mar 2023

  On Thursday 2nd March we celebrated World Book Day in St. Joseph's.  For us in St. Joseph's, EVERY DAY is World Book Day.  We have been so busy this Term with our Silent and Accelerated Reading, pairing up with Reading Partners in Primary 3 and Primary 7 and reading with our teachers in class.  

   

  On World Book Day, the children participated in a variety of events. For example,   some classes joined the BBC Live Lesson and are working so hard retelling some stories and characters with a TWIST.  Other classes created comic strips of their favourite books, read their favourite stories in class or listened to audio stories and tips from famous authors.  

   

  We hope the children enjoy spending their World Book Day  tokens and treat themselves to a new book.

  

• Copper Coin Challenge for Project Zambia

  Fri 03 Mar 2023

  Beginning Monday 6th March and running throughout Lent until Monday 3rd April we hope to operate a Copper Coin Challenge between each of our classes.

   

  Each class will have a sweet jar and we would like them filled with as many copper coins as possible, with all monies raised going to support Project Zambia. 

   

  Today we launched our Lenten Copper Coin Challenge for Project Zambia.  Two of our past pupils who currently attend St Dominic's in Belfast will be travelling to Zambia in July of this year to work on a number of ongoing projects.  The girls launched the Lenten Copper Coin Challenge with our Year 3 pupils today.  They delivered a presentation explaining what the project was all about, what they would be doing whilst in Zambia and how the money raised would be used.  Next week they will present their presentation to our Year 4-7 children.

   

   

  Hopefully everyone will join in and we can raise as much money as possible to support this worthy cause.  The class which raises the most money per child will be rewarded with a Movie afternoon, with a film of their choice and popcorn, all supplied by Mr Traynor!

   

  Please take a look in pockets and purses and down the back of the sofa! All copper coins will be gratefully received!

• Fire Service Visit the Nursery

  Wed 01 Mar 2023

  There was great excitement today when the fire service came to visit the nursery children.  They had  a great time learning all about the work of a fire fighter, tring on some of the equipment, using the hose, seeing inside the fire engine and hearing the siren sound.  Many thanks for coming along today - the children had a great experience.
