Dear Parent/Carer,
INSET DAY ON MONDAY 2ND FEBRUARY
First
Holy Communion
Application
forms are available at the back of the Church.
Children’s
Liturgy
We need volunteers to assist with the Children’s Liturgy during
the 10.00am Holy Mass. Please inform Fr Paul if you are interested in helping
with the Children’s Liturgy.
Bristol
Schools Swimming Competition
On Tuesday 10th March Bristol Schools’ Swimming
Association is holding a swimming competition for all primary schools
across Bristol. We would like to give children from St Joseph’s an
opportunity to compete in this competition. Children can compete
individually in butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle and
also in a relay team event. The guide times that have been sent from
Bristol Schools’ Swimming Association for 25m vary from 28 secs-31 secs and
from 55 secs-63secs for 50m. If your children swim competitively
outside of school or can swim these distances within a similar time to those
times suggested above and would be interested in participating in the
competition please ask them to come and speak to Mrs Darvill asap (year
3 class teacher). Children must also be available on Saturday 25th
April from 1-3.30pm as this is when the final is scheduled to take place.
Using the Internet at
home and E-Safety Week
It
is important that children’s use of the internet is monitored at home - in
particular, children’s use of social networking sites. Soon we will have our
E-Safety Week where the children will be learning more about how to use the
internet safely. There is a website
available which advises parents/carers on internet use: www/saferinternet.org.uk
More
information will be shared during E-Safety week.
Football
Club
As parents know, the
Football Club hope, as much as possible, to use the school field for football.
This does mean that during the wetter and colder months, the children need to
wrap up warm with a long sleeved top, joggers or leggings.
If any parents in KS2
have any spare clothing (like joggers) they would be much appreciated as we
could use them as spares.
Lateness
There are still children
who are arriving late for school. Children
who arrive late often come to school unsettled and embarrassed. Can I please
ask all parents to ensure their children are ready to line up for school at
8.55am. Where lateness is an ongoing concern, we will be asking parents to come
into school and discuss matters further
Also may I remind parents
that school finishes at 3.30pm. We seem
to have an increasing number of children being picked up late.
Attendance
Well done to Y2 and
Year 6 with 98% attendance last week. There will be a non-uniform day for Year Six
on Friday 6th February for their 100% attendance two weeks ago.
