• ADULT LEARNING OPPORTUNITY WITH PRESTON COLLEGE

  Fri 19 May 2017

  • Become more confident at speaking English!

  • Help your child with their homework!

  • Support your child with their reading more easily!

   

  On Wednesday 24th May 2017 from 13:30 to 15:30 there will be an opportunity for you to come and meet staff from Preston College to discuss any English language needs that you may have.

   

  There might be learning that we can provide with Preston College to support you with English so that you can better support your children with their learning and school reading.  The idea is to develop your own skills, so that you can help your children even more to improve their own skills and learning.

   

  Please come along to the school hall at any time during the afternoon, meet the staff from Preston College and find out about how together we could better support you.  It should take no more than 10-15 minutes of your time.

   

  If you cannot get to this event, please let us know in the office so that we can try to make other arrangements for you to be in contact with the Preston College staff.

  Mr Jimmy has had help from Sarees, Connor, Jack and Gilbert to develop our new allotment garden. They have done the weeding around the school to improve the appearance and they have started to grow vegetables.

  A couple of weeks ago Year 2 were selected to take part in an activity for Cbeebies. The children had to work in teams and use communication skills to compete against each other. The team from Cbeebies were watching the children very closely and we have found out........ that they have chosen Year 2 to go onto the show!!!! The children are so excited and truly deserve this amazing opportunity. We will be going to film for Cbeebies at the end of June. We can't wait! Well done Year 2!

• The Preston Passion Play

  Fri 14 Apr 2017

  Eight of our children took part in the performance of The Preston

  Passion Play. This was a big scale production involving over 140

  actors retelling the Easter story with a modern twist.

   

  The children braved the rain and cold to represent St Joseph’s with

  a smile. They were fantastic!

   

  After chatting to the actors the children handed out leaflets to the

  waiting crowds. They gathered around Jesus when he was teaching

  in the temple scene and they handed out bread to the audience

  during the last supper scene.

   

  We followed the play through to the city centre where the story of

  Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection continued.
