Dear Parent/Carer,
School Uniform Policy – a reminder again!!!
There is still a sizable minority of children who are not wearing the correct uniform or footwear. Letters will be going out to the parents/carers of all children who are not wearing correct school uniform next week.
We really appreciate the support of the vast majority of parents who support the school’s uniform policy.
Book Fair Week
Book Fair week begins on Monday 10th October. This is an opportunity to buy your Christmas presents early. It will take place at the top of the reception classroom, or in the school hall on Friday. Thanks in advance of your support, the commission we receive from sales goes straight back into the school in the form of books for the school library.
Platinum Award Party
As you know, St Joseph’s achieved the Platinum SingUp Award right at the end of the last academic year. We are only the second school in the city of Bristol to get this award and the only one in the area to have completed the entire journey from no award through silver, gold and now platinum.
We will be celebrating this amazing success on Friday 14 October with a series of exciting singing led activities within the school day and a great Singing Assembly at 2:30pm. Parents and friends of the school are more then welcome to join us for the assembly, when we will be presented with our certificate and plaque by the High Sheriff of the City of Bristol.
We are also asking children to dress up as a song or bring in a prop inspired by a song, to share with their class e.g. dress up as a star for Twinkle Twinkle or bring to school some pretend sausages for 10 fat Sausages!
CD Recording
We have decided to make a CD of the children’s wonderful singing. This will take place on Monday 17 October and all the children will be involved at one point of the day or another. The CD will hopefully be made in time for selling at Christmas, so that will sort out Grandma’s Christmas present for this year! We will be running a CD Cover Design competition and we will be telling the children about this very soon in an assembly. Meanwhile perhaps your children could be thinking about what is needed on a CD cover and what pictures sum up our school and its singing.
Admissions for Reception 2012
The Admissions booklet and ‘Additional Information Form’ which you will need to apply for a school place for Reception 2012 are now available from the office. The closing date for applications is January 15th 2011. It is very important that if you apply on-line, you wait for online confirmation of your application.
Updated Contacts/Medical
If your child’s contact details or any new medical conditions have changed since the end of last term, could you please let the office know as soon as possible.
Attendance _ GOOD NEWS!!!
A good week of attendance last week! Well done to Mrs Bell’s Class with 99% again!! Mrs Mantle’s class attended well with 98%, Mr Conlon’s class with 97% and Mrs Rollings’, Mrs Joseph’s and Mr Conlon’s classes with 96%. Because Mrs Bell’s class have had 2 weeks of attendance at 99%, they will have a special non-uniform day next Friday (14th October).

We will be writing to the parents/carers of all children who are not wearing correct school uniform.
