Primary 4 thoroughly enjoyed making fruit kebabs as a stimulus for instructional writing this week. We enjoyed them in the garden whilst reading our class novel in the sunshine.

Gala Civic Week

Dalguise Day2
Dalguise Day One
Scottish Parliament and Theatre Visit
P5/6 and P5 had lots of fun exploring the Scottish Parliament Building this morning. We saw the debating chamber and some of the exhibits within the Parliament building. After eating lunch in the shade of some trees in the Gardens, outside the Parliament, we travelled to see Imaginate’s ‘9 to 5’ show – we had a great day out!
Primary 1 Planting Beans
Primary 1 planted seeds in class and then when they were big enough we put them in our school garden. We are going to look after them so that they grow really tall and hopefully we will have beans very soon. We had so much fun!
‘Name on the Label’ Event
Our Iona House Captains have noticed a lot of school jumpers and ties being lost or left unclaimed. As part of St Joseph Primary Schools drive to reduce, reuse, recycle, our House Captains have asked to hold a ‘Name on the Label’ day in which we will write your child’s name on their school jumper and tie labels. Each class will receive a letter in the next few weeks with details of when our house captains will make a visit to your class. While letters for each class will be given out at different times, please return the slip promptly when your child receives their letter.
