Our new topic is The Caribbean. Each group has been called after a Caribbean island and we are now designing our own wall displays.
Primary 1/2 Common Words
During this year Primary 1/2 have been learning 3 common words each week. Sometimes our buddies help us to revise, here are some photos from during the year.
Next week we will begin list 29! We can revise our words at https://www.spellingcity.com/lawtoner/ to play games.
We can use the revision weeks to check that we know all our common words!
Primary 1 and 2 are welcome to use the lists too.
What a Week in P4

P7’s visit from West Lothian Drug and Alcohol Service (WLDAS)
Michelle from WLDAS paid Primary 7 a visit this morning. Michelle taught us all about the harmful effects of smoking. To help us prepare for our move to high school, we discussed how to cope with peer-pressure and what to do in difficult situations. Michelle asked us all to give up something for a week as part of a homework task, for example, fizzy drinks or Xbox. Michelle is coming back in May for the second part of the session and we are all looking forward to it!
NSPCC Big Board Game Day
A BIG thank you and congratulations to everyone who participated in and supported our Big Board Game Day. We raised a total of £94.25 as a school, which has been forwarded to the NSPCC. These photos show P1/2 playing.
Thank you!
I would like to thank all of the children, staff and parents of St Joseph’s for all of the kind messages of support and encouragement as I leave to take up my new position. The kindness shown has been overwhelming.
I would like to thank the children of P1 and their parents for creating such a lovely memory book for me. I will treasure it and look back on it with lots of fond memories. Also a huge thank you for all of the generous gifts and cards. Your children are a true inspiration and I am very honoured to have been their teacher. They are little super stars!!!
St Joseph’s is a special school full of wonderful children and I am very proud to have been part of it.
I hope everyone has a lovely Easter with their families,
Joanne Kerr

Easter STEM
Primary 5 have been so excited about Easter and today were set a STEM challenge to build a basket for the Easter Bunny to carry eggs.
The only resources they could use were:
- card
- scissors
- ruler
- pencil
- glue stick
Some of their creations are fab!
We will assess them after the holidays and see how much they can hold.
