Dear Parents/Guardians,
As is tradition in St Joseph’s Primary, the Book Fair will be visiting the school between 9th and 16th of October. Children will have an opportunity to visit with their class during the day and see what items there are on offer. Your child will be able to reserve a book and payment can be sent to the school.

Primary 1 have had a great Maths Week. We have been learning to form our numbers using cars, cubes and playdough. Our buddies wrote number stories and shared them with us. We also went on a shape hunt around the classroom.
What a fun and busy week we have had.
Today we carried out experiments to see if the baby chicks liked different kinds of food.
We offered them; apple, cucumber, potato, lettuce, corn on the cob, toast, carrot, normal chick feed, meal worms and live worms (freshly dug up from the garden).
There was a little bit of interest in the meal worms and live worms (after the chicks worked out what they were) and lots of interest in their normal chick feed.
As for the fruit and veg, they were less than enthusiastic and just ignored most of it.
Primary 1 also popped in for a wee visit and got to see the chicks up close.
Tomorrow we say goodbye to the chicks. It’s going to be a sad day!
Primary 1/2 spend the morning investigating fairytales. We wanted to know exactly what a fairytale needs in order for it to be a fairytale.
We began by collecting all of our ideas in our class floor book. Mrs Cree helped by creating a fairytale checklist. We then worked in groups to investigate four fairytales with our checklist.
After a thorough investigation, we decided that all fairytales should have:

Primary 1 were visited today by the Hidden Giants. We had some great discussions about our new topic Fairyland.

This offer is open to children in Primary 1, 1/2 and 2.
