Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year 2021 falls on Friday, February 12th, and celebrations culminate with the Lantern Festival on February 26th, 2021

Every year we mark this event by welcoming a Chinese exchange student into St Joseph’s. Due to the ongoing pandemic, which means we cannot be together to celebrate Chinese New Year in school this year.

I’d like you to use these online resources

and create something to celebrate.

Think of past years when you’ve celebrated during PPA sessions with me. We’ve tasted Chinese food together and made Chinese crafts.

What will you do this year at home?
Share you creations with us and we can still celebrate Chinese New Year together.

I look forward to seeing what you do. Mrs Adams

Feel Good Friday

This week is children’s Mental Health week.

On Friday we will embrace the theme ” Dress to Express”

Wear whatever makes you feel happy. You could express yourself through art, music, dancing, cooking, building or going for a walk and just enjoy being outdoors. We would love to see pictures of how you spend your day.

Holocaust Memorial Day

Our children  who are attending the provision at school produced pieces of art after looking at the work of Joseph Herman. They are included in the video below.
