In November, We Remember
In November we remember. To remember those who have died and gone to be with Jesus we have been writing their names on brightly coloured strips and decorating the front of our school.
Sparx Visit
Year 4 enjoyed their visit from Sparx Firefighters! The children learned about how to stay safe and what to do in the event of a fire at home.
Year 6 Mass
Thank you to Year 6 who led our whole school Mass today! The Gospel reminded us that we’re all invited to the Kingdom of Heaven, we just have to make the right choices to get there!

Poetry Recital
A BIG well done to the children from Joseph’s Jigsaw, Nursery, Reception and Years 1 -6 this afternoon for their wonderful poetry recitals! It was lovely to see so many happy, confident children proudly sharing their poems!
St Joseph’s Experiences
We’ve been thinking about the experiences we’d like children to have during their time at St Joseph’s. We’ve made a list of exciting experiences we promise to offer and shared some ideas of activities which can be done at home too!

Well done to our Year 1 children for leading Mass today. They might get some of our youngest children but Year 1 all took an active part in reading, acting, being in the band and being part of the offertory.
Black History
A focus on Black History this week in school. Learning about important figures and how they stood up for equality – something that Jesus teaches us is so very important.
Year 6 at Dudley Zoo
Year 6 visited Dudley Zoo this week to take part in a very informative session based on classification linked to their Science topic. They also listened to a talk about orangutans and explored all the animals too!
Year 6 Assembly

Year 5 Trip
Year 5 enjoyed a day at the Alexandra theatre, watching Awful Auntie, amazing production and the children loved the staging and lighting effects! Great cast and many laughable moments had by all!

Well done to our Year 2 children who led our Harvest Mass this week – they did so beautifully. A BIG thank you to everyone who was able to donate a tin of food. All donations will be sent to the Good Shepherd Appeal in Wolverhampton.
Prayer and Liturgy
Thank you to Year 4 who led our Prayer and Liturgy on Friday. The children were remembering key figures from the Old Testament – including Joseph and his Technicolor dream coat – and what we can learn from them today.
Keeping Safe
PC Cat Purser joined Year 5 and 6 to talk about how to keep themselves safe on the darker Autumn evenings. They talked about how to trick or treat safely and respectfully and the importance of keeping their distance from fireworks!
Mental Health Day
Children have been wearing yellow and being creative with yellow arts and crafts to make World Mental Health day little bit brighter!
Our Lady of the Rosary
During Prayer and Liturgy we celebrated the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. We thought about how special Mary is all around the world and prayed a decade of the rosary together.
