Dear Parents and Carers,

Fencing Tournament

Well done to the St. Joseph’s Fencing ‘A’ Team who came FIRST PLACE in the Bristol Primary School’s Fencing Championship this week. Also well done to Team ‘B’ who were runners up. Pictures will be on the Blog soon! Also a big thank you to John Rohde and Teresa Smaka who coach and support the children in fencing each week.

Haiti Crisis

Many children in school have responded to the plight of people living in Haiti with great concern and sympathy. The school is planning a response, which will involve fundraising to help those in need. We will share information about this shortly.

In the mean time, you can help these people in need by supporting a Cookery Club Cake Sale, which will take place after school next Friday. Bags of cakes will be sold at 50p a bag. All proceeds will support those in need in Haiti.

Leather Glove

A leather glove was found in the Church after a school Christmas Celebration. If it belongs to you, please come and ask the school office.

Dinner Money Envelopes

Dinner money envelopes are available from the school office. 50 envelopes for £1.50 or 100 for £2.50

Y1 School Trip

The year 1 school trip to Blaise Castle Toy Museum on Monday 1st February will be going ahead. Volunteer parent helpers are still needed. If you can help please see Miss Wright.

Clothes for a Cause

The Clothes for a Cause bag has been sent home with your child for you to fill it with any unwanted good quality clothing, curtains, paired shoes, handbags and belts. The more we collect the more money the school receives. The school council have nominated the NSPCC and Rainbow Trust to benefit from the funds raised. The bags will be collected on the 29th January, but we will be accepting the bags from the 27th January.

PTFA Meeting

There will be a PTFA meeting on Wednesday 27th January at 8pm in the Spotted Cow on Lodge Causeway, please try & make it so we can get plans finalised for the Summer Festival. If you've never been before, and would like to come along, we'd love to see you there.
