It has been another fun filled week here at St. Joseph’s. We have been busy enjoying lots of fun learning. Over the week we have been regularly looking in at the osprey chicks and marvelling at how much they grow every day. We witnessed the adults bringing in fish and even a huge brown trout which was quickly gobbled up by the birds.

It was a real treat to have ‘Fishy Music’ come into school to teach us some new songs which we then sung in our very own concert.

We have been continuing our learning about Oliver Twist and finally got to meet Fagin, we had lots of fun getting to know this amazing and interesting character.

We have been learning about time during our maths sessions and are growing in confidence at using the 24 hour clock.

Thursday was our outdoor box play day and we had such fun using our imagination to build structures of all types. For some of us it was a great opportunity to see how many boxes we could actually fit in.

Friday we had our very own launch party as we formally introduce Free Write Fridays not only to the rest of the school but to all the schools in our cluster. Mr Reed has been so impressed with our work during these sessions he has not stopped telling teachers from other schools how amazing our work has been. We launched with a party in our class and the opportunity to use pens that we had made into quills. Mr Reed has said that our launch party will be seen by the other schools as we will be tweeting what we love about these sessions.
