What a fabulous response to Maths week! Sumdog Challenge, Beeetledrive, Newspaper challenge and lots more was rounded off today with a dress down on a maths/number theme. We took the opportunity to “show off” our Maths Hat creations. Many thanks to everyone who made that extra effort. We “count on” your support!

Maths Week!
What a fantastic and busy week we have had here at St Joseph’s celebrating maths week!
From newspaper challenges, building 3D shapes using marshmallows and spaghetti and maths number trails! We have really enjoyed all school and individual class activities!
The costumes for dress down day today were very inventive and we even had our very own human calculator in Primary 2!
The family challenges have been outstanding with family posters, 3D models, a video and even a robot!

School Pick Up/Drop Off
Please be considerate of school neighbours when dropping off or picking up children. We have had some complaints about inconsiderate parking and people either dropping rubbish or using people’s bins – at times contaminating their recycling, resulting in bins not being emptied or fines being received.
We ask that you do not park in residents parking areas, especially disabled parking bays. The school car parks should not be used as drop-off spaces and are not for parent parking, as this can cause a danger to children and others using these areas. Please also take any rubbish home with you to dispose of.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Flu Vaccine – szczepionka przeciwko grypie
Drodzy rodzice i opiekunowie ,
Obecnie w każdej szkole oferowana jest szczepionka przeciwko grypie. Uczniowie otrzymali listy, które należy wypełnić i oddać jak najszybciej do szkoły jeśli wyrażają Państwo zgodę na szczepienie. Ze swojej strony oferuję pomoc w razie jakichkolwiek pytań i problemów z wypełnieniem formularza. Jestem dostępna w szkole każdego dnia od Poniedziałku do Czwartku od godziny 2.00 po południu.
Dziekuję

Photographs
Dear Parent/Carer,
School photographs should be ordered and paid for by September the 7th. Class group photographs will be taken on Friday the 31st of August. Please ensure pupils are in full school uniform including shirt and tie for these photographs.
The dining room staff have informed me of a number of pupils bringing Nutella and peanut products for snack and lunch. We have pupils with peanut allergies and cannot have products containing nuts in school. Thank you for your co-operation.
