The website will be a great source of information for parents, staff, governors and anyone thinking about choosing St Joseph’s as a school for their child. The website contains lots of information and we will continue to develop and improve it over the coming months. You are invited to attend a meeting about the Website and Class Dojo on Monday 28th November from 3.30-4.00pm. </span></div>

100% attendance in Term 1 will be able to participate in the prize draw, and
are given the special treat of coming to school in non-uniform on that day. I
am so impressed with all the classes at the exceptionally high attendance last
term and so many children coming to school on time every day. Year 1 has the
highest number of 100% attendance, with 22 pupils achieving this. Of course we
understand that children cannot avoid being ill, it happens to us all from time
to time, but it is such a positive message to give our children that we value
every day in school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

with morning sessions (starting at 8am) for £2.50 a session and the short
(until 5pm) for £3.50 and long (until 5.30) for £5 options for after school.
Please make sure you book your child on as soon as possible as this allows us
to ensure we have adequate supervision for the children wanting to use Extended
School Club. We will do our best to
ensure there are places for all children booked on using School Gateway before
25<sup>th</sup> August. As demand for the long sessions is currently low Mrs
Martin only runs the club until 5.30pm on days when children are pre-booked
onto the long sessions. So it is
especially important that you book your child onto these longer sessions in
advance if you can’t pick them up before 5pm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

developed in response to the decline in the UK's pollinating insects and the
demand from schools to broaden children's understanding of the links between
pollination and food security and learn about protecting insect pollinators and
their habitats. There is a special assembly <b>this Monday, 27th June at 9:10am</b> when the project will be

will be competing as part of their school team - St John (Red), St Matthew
(Yellow), St Mark (Green), St Luke (Blue). Please remind your children to
try and wear a t-shirt in their teams colour to help create a fun, competitive
atmosphere and so it is easy to identify which team children are in when
scoring. If children are really struggling to find a coloured t-shirt we
will supply some bibs on the day. Please also make sure your child has a
water bottle, hat and make sure your child has applied suncream before coming
to school.</span><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

athletic events, as well as some more traditional races, such as the egg and
spoon, sack race and obstacle race. Sports day will start at 9.30am and
will run through until 11.30am, with awards and certificates being announced
and handed out in a special sports day assembly. We would love parents to
come and support the children as they compete. </span><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sports day has been organised
this year so that there is always something happening on the main running
track. It would be wonderful if parents
could show their support and encouragement in an area marked out alongside the
side of the running track closest to the fence and hedge. As well as
supporting your own child/ren, you can encourage the children in all of the
other year groups too. If any parents have a gazebo that they would be able to
lend the school for Sports Day it would be a great help and enable us to
provide some shade on the field. If you think you might be able to help
please speak to Miss Finding or leave a message with the school office. Thank
you.</span><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #212121; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">We are pleased to announce that St. Joe's has
entered the three years in-school Polli:Nation programme. This is a project
developed in response to the decline in the UK's pollinating insects and the
demand from schools to broaden children's understanding of the links between
pollination and food security and learn about protecting insect pollinators and
their habitats. We shall have a series of in-school interactive and
experimental sessions in the school grounds and local walk-to-spaces and need
some volunteers from our school community (parents, grandparents, governors) to
participate at different levels throughout the project. If you wish to know
more about this project, come along to the assembly on Monday 27th at 9:10 or
contact Mrs Serle for more details. </span><u><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></div>

<b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Cricket</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> by Benjamin<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Yesterday, a group of
Year 5s and Year 6s went to a cricket tournament at the Bristol West Indies Cricket
Club. There were 10 other schools at the
tournament. In our group, there were two
other teams. They were Summerhill and St Nicholas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">In our first game, we
played Summerhill. Their team were
batting first and started on 200 runs but 5 runs were taken away if they lost a
wicket. In the end Summerhill managed
232. After this, it was our turn to
bat. We had 8 overs to chase the total
down. In the last over, we needed 5 runs
to win and we got 5 runs! We had a quick break before our next match.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">In order to go to the
Semi Finals, we had to beat St Nicholas.
In this game, they were batting first and got 243 runs. Then it was our turn to bat. We thought it was going to be very close so
we were very tense. Before the last
over, we asked the umpire how many runs we had got and we had 273 runs! In the end, we managed 268 runs but we were
happy because we won! After our game,
all the schools were told to go to the front.
The directors of the tournament congratulated everyone but they said
there had to be four winners to advance to the Semi Final. There were three groups and the winners of
the groups were: Chester Park, Sefton Park and us! Since there were only three teams in the Semi
Finals, there was a best runner up which was Minerva.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">In the Semi-Finals, we
played Sefton Park. We knew that they
had won the tournament 10 years running, so we knew they were going to be
tough, but we still tried our best. This
time we were batting first and we hit 225 runs. Even though we didn’t hit lots
of runs, we were determined to win.
Unfortunately, Sefton Park beat us by 15 runs. Overall we finished 3<sup>rd</sup>. We were very proud of ourselves and the
people who represented our school at the tournament were Benjamin, Dominic,
Jaimie, Marlen, Jeswin, Vanessa, Claudia, Rebeca, Julia and Alesha.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been allowed to take books home from our school library this year. These are not always coming back into school
and we have noticed that many are missing.
During the first week of next half term, we are having the library
catalogued and all books placed onto a computer system so it is really
important that we have all library books accounted for. Please could you check
at home for any library books and bring them in immediately, before the
holiday. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The children
have had so much fun this week enjoying the new playground, and there is
still more to come!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We have been
making decisions about how the new equipment is to be used to ensure
children are safe and supervised and so please be aware of the following
'rules'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">Children
are not allowed to use the climbing equipment or sandpit before school.
This is because there are not adequate levels of</span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">supervision at this time.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">Parents/carers
may allow their children to use the playground equipment after school but
will be responsible for supervising them at this time. Children may not
jump from the climbing frame out of school hours in case they injure other
children.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">All
children and adults must leave the school grounds by 3.45. This is because
staff are busy after school, Mr Buck needs to lock up and we need to
know who is onsite after that, to ensure the safety of children and staff
who use the building after the school day finishes for the
children.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We have
developed a playtime policy and all support and lunch staff have completed an
accredited Play-worker training course which has helped us to develop a
clear approach to play. We have also involved a group of parents and
parishioners in this project. This policy is available in the office and will
be on the website shortly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-hyphenate: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">You may find
your child brings a bit of sand or wood-chip home with them, or may have the
odd bump or graze from some play activity; but we hope you will support us in
encouraging children to have fun and active play-times and accept that
these minor mishaps are part of children learning about their own
abilities and challenging themselves in their play. The benefits of active play
are well evidenced and we know children will enjoy the
increased opportunities to:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and will need replacing. We have negotiated that this additional work will not
cost the school any more and the work is likely to be done during May half

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Everyone in school will receive a coloured card which has been threaded through 10 beads. These beads are called ‘Sacrifice Beads’. The idea of these beads is that at the end of every day, the ten beads will have been moved to the opposite side of where it started in the morning. You move a bead to the opposite side of the cord every time you’ve done a good deed. Not only are they used in school, you can use them where ever you wish to. The children are responsible for their sacrifice beads and if they lose them, then they will not be provided with another one. We encourage children to use them as much as possible and hopefully they will take good care of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

said they are allergic to certain foods.
We are unable to let them have a school meal until Eden’s Allergy Intolerance
Referral Form has been completed and Eden have been able to work out a special
menu for them – forms can be collected from the school office and need to be signed
and stamped/completed by a registered medical professional i.e. Doctor, School
Nurse ensuring that the information is accurate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Year Sixes visited the Lifeskills Centre last week. This is a place where children learn how to
be safe in real life situations. It is a
fabulous resource for Bristol children that need our help. In the next few weeks Year Six will be
holding a fund-raising day for Lifeskills to help towards keeping it going for
other children. In the meantime, if any
parent receives the Bristol Post, you can help now by cutting out coupons from
