St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

I was blown away by the talent and courage of our Year 5/6 children during their fabulous production on Wednesday! Then, to add to the joy of the week, I've had the privilege of driving three of our super children to Ss Peter & Paul Catholic Primary School in Yeadon this morning, to represent our school in the BWCAT Spelling Bee Final! They were all amazing and I was very proud of them - well done, Team St Joseph's! See below for photos of both!

Thank you, as always, for supporting us to

Live, love and learn with the Lord.

Mrs Ronicle

Our current virtue is: Service

If your child shows our virtues at home, please do let us know so we can celebrate that in school/nursery too!

On Wednesday evening, St Therese performed the debut of 'Back In My Day', which was written by Miss Savelli! The children were absolutely fabulous - so much talent and courage on display. Thank you for coming along to support us - I'm sure you were as proud of them as we were!

If the photos below aren't enough, there are videos on our social media accounts!

Thank you to our super cook, Miss Faye, who let the Year 6 children choose their own leavers' lunch this week! We're trying not to remember that next week is your last week in our school, Year 6!

A huge congratulations to our children who represented St Joseph's, Tadcaster at the BWCAT Spelling Bee Final this morning. Thank you to Mr Power and the team at Ss Peter and Paul's in Yeadon, for hosting such a fun event.

Well done to all of our children and especially HUGE congratulations to Bea, who WON the Year 3 trophy!

On Thursday, we were thrilled to have a visit from Leeds Library, who hosted computing workshops across school. We programmed @microbit_edu to play Rock, Paper, Scissors!

Each club costs £7.95 per session (discounted rates for Pupil premium) and is payable in a block via ParentPay.

This week in St Francis Nursery, we’ve dived under the sea to explore the wonderful world of sea creatures! The children have enjoyed collecting shells in the water tray, dressing up as their favourite ocean animals, and sharing lots of fun during our under-the-sea role play. We have also been reading rhyming books with an ocean theme, helping the children to develop their language skills while enjoying stories about life beneath the waves!

St Bernadette have had a wonderful week. In Science we have been observing seasonal changes and recording these. In Maths we have been exploring volume and capacity - with lots of practical fun and also solving some tricky word problems!

We have been enjoying Saints Week! We looked at St Anthony and how he is the patron saint of lost things. We drew things in white wax crayons that we often lose. We then painted over them in watercolour and saw how they were revealed and found again!

All of our award winners are announced live in celebration assembly each Friday!
