Space

Primary 5 have started their journey into space through their topic. We have discussed what we already know and what we would like to know. We added this to our floorbook and we can’t wait to add lots more information and facts to it as we go along.

What we know:

space has no gravity
Neil Armstrong was the first man on the Moon
there are craters on the Moon
there are 8 planets
the Earth was made by the Big Bang.

What we want to know:

what are the planets made of?
more about all the planets
can we live on Mars?
when is the next eclipse?
Are there more than 2 galaxies?
How hot is the Sun?
How big is the Sun?
Why are there craters on the Moon?

We can’t wait to share what we learn about space with you.

Gliding into the New Year.

Primary 5 would just like to wish everyone a happy New year and we hope that you all enjoyed your break over the festive period.

Primary 5 have been sharing their stories about Christmas with each other and even managed to write a recount of Christmas day.

They have also been looking forward to another fun- filled and jam packed term and have been busy creating targets for their curricular areas that they would like to work on and have already managed to get a new display up in class.

We are looking forward to sharing all of our activities and news with you over the coming term.

New Skills in Primary 2

Happy New year from Primary 2.

Today in PE we practised lots of different skills such as running, aiming, balancing, skipping and ball skills.

Lauchlan explained to us that he had never tried skipping before but with a lot of hard work and determination, by the end of the lesson he was beginning to skip independently! Well done, Lauchlan!

Happy New Year!

Primary 1 started off the new year with a bang! They worked so hard on their Elkonin boards building words using phonemes and we practised reading some common words. This is going to be a super term with lots of learning and fun!

Merry Christmas

Primary 5 have been getting into the Christmas spirit again and have created lovely snow globes with snowmen in them.

We would just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas

The pupils and staff of St Joseph’s Primary would like to thank our parents and community for their support during the festive season events. It has been a very busy and exciting time. We wish you a happy and peaceful Christmas and look forward to an exciting New Year.

P4/5

Primary 4/5 worked together with their shoulder partner and used their problem solving skills to investigate who stole Mrs Claus’ Christmas pudding.

P4/5 Dear Mrs Claus…

Primary 4/5 were inspired by the 2016 M&S advert featuring Mrs Claus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5QPXhStb5I. We discussed the importance of thinking of others at Christmas. Everyone thought about someone they would like to send a present to and wrote a letter to Mrs Clause asking for a very special gift. Continue reading P4/5 Dear Mrs Claus…

Christmas Baubles

Primary 5 have been designing Christmas baubles. They each got a quarter of a bauble and were asked to design it. They enjoyed the activity and put a lot of effort into their designs.

They were then put together to form a whole bauble and look fab!
