In Year 5 we have been discussing the school's value of Belonging. We all belong to St Joseph's either as children, adults or the wider community. St Joseph's belongs to us.....so we painted it. Watercolours all the way. 

Children is Year 3 are learning about how to keep fish with the Fishkeeper Fry Program.

They filled and decorated their tank, conducted chemical tests on the water and added some live plants in preparation for receiving their fish. A big thank you to Maidenhead Aquatics for providing the tank, the plants, the fish and a weekly video lesson.  The children are really looking forward to their next lesson.

NSPCC number day was a rocking success as St Joseph’s pupil's took on the Times Tables Rockstar Challenge. Years 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 all took part in the challenge against 60240 other classes across the country. The in-school battle of the classes was fierce with years 5 and 6 exchanging the lead many times. By 19:30 some 48779 questions had been answered correctly by St Joseph's pupils. The school came 405 out of 2328 schools. out of 60242 classes Year 6 came 864th, Year 5 came 920th, Year 4 2637th, Year 3 came 3241^st and Year 2 came 4948^th all classes in the top 10% of schools nationwide. A special mention to Year 2 who were using the programme for the first time! Reception and Year 1 took part in special Maths lessons and everyone rocked out all day!

We are thrilled to announce that we have gained the Oscar Romero Award (Participator Level) for the promotion Of Catholic Social Teaching. To achieve this award we have had to demonstrate how everyone at St Joseph’s; our staff, children and you, our families and community, support and work in helping to create a world where God's love is shown in a tangible, creative and caring manner. Thank You all for helping us to achieve this.
