Dear
Parents/Carers,
Key Stage One and Two SATs
There is no celebration assembly this
coming Monday due to KS2 and KS1 SATs taking place. The children in Year Two and Year Six have
been working very hard and we wish them all the best. Please keep them in your prayers.
Marie Curie
A fantastic well done to Year 1 and
Year 2 who raised a total of £453.73 for the Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Parish
May Procession
The procession will take place at
the end of 10.00am Holy Mass on Sunday 17th May. We will need help
to carry the statue of our Blessed Lady Mary. If you are interested please see
Matthew Martin after Mass on Sunday (or contact 0117 9566101) and give
him your details.
St Joseph’s Pre-School 40TH
Birthday Celebrations!
To celebrate its 40th
Birthday, the Pre-school are having a Fabulous Family Funday on Saturday
9th May from 2pm to 5pm. Featuring bouncy castles,
face painting, a shopping hall, games and raffle and including visits from Elsa
and Spiderman!! Plus Tae Kwando and Dancing displays! Entry 50p

This will be followed by a Reunion for all past and present staff,
volunteers and committee members from 6pm till 8.30pm to include Cream
Tea and cakes! Please pass the message around anyone you may know who has been
involved with the Pre-school over the last 40 years!!
Staff changes
It is with sadness that I report that
Mrs Gilvear, our sports coach, will be leaving us at the end of this term to
take up a new position elsewhere. We
wish her all the best for the future.
Our new sports coach, Mr Tom Dawes, will be taking over from 1st
June.
Lateness
There seems to be an increasing number of pupils who are coming to school late. If lateness becomes persistent your child will miss a significant amount of teaching time. Continued lateness causes disruption to the class teacher and the other pupils who are already engaged in the first lesson of the day. Similarly, there are many pupils who are being collected late at the end of the day. The school day finishes at 3.30pm.

Security
For security reasons, when children
arrive late, we are unable to allow parents to escort their children to their
classrooms. Children are perfectly capable of walking to classrooms by
themselves.
