Dear Parent/Carer,
Maths Clubs
This term see the launch of St Joseph's Maths clubs across the school. Maths Clubs are design to help children improve the speed of recalling key maths facts. Knowing the key maths facts will enable children to be more confident and progress further in The Big Number Crunch.For further information and copies of the Clubs please visit the school website and choose ‘The Big Number Crunch’, then ‘Maths Clubs’. Paper copies are available on request.
Lateness
Our records show that there are a number of pupils who are arriving late. We are sure you will understand lateness can be very disruptive to the school day. Missing the start of lessons means instructions and other essential information will have to be repeated, which will delay the start of lessons and the children’s learning. School starts at 8.55am – children should line up in the playground with their class, at this time.
Can I ask you to work with the school to ensure your child’s prompt arrival in the future, otherwise it could result in the Local Authority taking legal action.
Safety and Security
Can I remind you again to use only the main entrance at the beginning and end of the day.
Children or staff must not open any outside doors for anyone. Please respect this decision – they are not being ill mannered – they are following set procedures in accordance with our Health and Safety Policy.
Adults Collecting Children
Again for security and safety reasons, can you inform the school office, in writing, if any adult is collecting your child who is not normally authorised to do so. Adults who are not authorised will not be allowed to take children off the premises.
Choir
There will be no choir on Wednesday 4th February. It will resume the following week. Pick up is at 4.30pm.
After School Club (Football)
Unfortunately, due to lack of interest, we have cancelled the planned football club. We will be sending home a full refund today. We are planning alternative activities but can only maintain clubs if interest is sufficient.
Celebration of Achievements
There will be a celebration assembly next Monday at 3.00pm. The following children will receive awards:-
Bridget Connors, Cole Schwarz, Grace Stepaniuk, Amelia Dockerty, Oliver Kelliher-Swash
Oliver Louch and George Mainprise.
PTFA Meeting
Just a reminder that the PTFA will be meeting on Wednesday February 4th in the Cross Hands, Fishponds, at 8pm. We will be discussing plans for the Summer Fair, and suggestions for how to fundraise for Red Nose Day in March. Please come along if you wish to contribute.

Dear Parent/Carer,
Parents Help
During this academic year we have been very lucky that parents have volunteered to come into school to support the learning of children with reading or writing. Those volunteering have helped these children to become more confident learners.
If you have some spare time during the week, and you would also like to help out, please tell Mr. Condon or any other member of staff.
Any Problems?
If you have any concerns about your child’s learning or wellbeing, please contact the school office to arrange a meeting with your child’s class teacher. If you feel the matter is of a serious nature, please contact Mr. Condon, Mrs. Rollings or Mrs. Joseph.

PLEASE SEE MR. CONDON NEXT WEEK IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. Unfortunately, unless a few more parents sign up, the course will have to be cancelled.

In this topic, the children will explore the journeys we make in our lives, both physical and spiritual.
They will learn how the Christian life is a journey with Jesus.
Suggestions for home activities
Talk together about journeys the family have made together.
Ask your child to tell you about Jesus’ journey to the temple in Jerusalem with Mary Joseph. Perhaps they could draw it.

Ida Johansson, Jeleil Manmohan, Stan Doling, Lara Brown, Elijah Hayden, Alfie Ferris, Joseph Calloway, Chloe Bowden, Laura Smith, Alexander Aliyath, Rochelle Christian

Dear Parent/Carer,
School Choir
The choir took part in a large scale production at the Colston Hall last week, called ‘Everyman’s Land’. Their singing was fantastic, the dancers were beautiful and confident and the behaviour of the whole choir was exemplary. Well done every single child. A big thank you to all the parents who helped, transported children, brought tickets and generally supported us in our endeavour. There will be video clips on the school blog, for you to look at. A certificate of participation has been sent to the school and a copy of it will also shortly be on the blog. Finally Kate Courage has sent a copy of the programme to each choir member to congratulate them and for them to keep as a souvenir. Choir resumes on week two of next term – 3.30-4.30pm
Sing Up
As you know we are striving to become a Silver Award Singing School. All the children are doing really well and are singing beautifully and enthusiastically. Over Christmas you might like to visit the SingUp website with your children (it’s free!). They have SingUp.org.uk/Families/Festive Pack/Download. There are also lots of seasonal songs to both listen to and sing along with, and they can be found at SingUp.Org.uk/search song bank/seasonal songs. ‘Keeeeep singing!’
