A Year 5 child in Eucalyptus wrote this account of finding herself in a storm near the Eiger...a fabulous piece of writing.

We visited RAF Brize Norton for a morning of survival training. We learnt a great deal and also had fun!

An example of homework for Years 5 and 6:

Our prayer we are learning this half term:

Children in Key Stage 2 have volunteered for our 'Mini Vinnies' group at St Joseph's again this year. 

Mini Vinnies is the children's section of St Vincent de Paul Society.

We meet every two weeks and we enjoy praying together, sharing scriptures and organising ways in which we can help others in our local community and beyond.

We provided the ingredients and made soup together at school on the Friday and served it after Mass on Saturday 12th October.

One parishioner said...'it was the best lunch, not just the delicious soup but the joyfulness of the servers was wonderful too!'

Our next project is the 'shoebox appeal' which was very successful last year.

Our fantastic soup servers!

Helping out at the Church Christmas fete

The children enjoyed doing some printing during art. They created a 'mountain image' using pasta, string, rice, bubble wrap...

They then brushed or rolled over the picture with paint to create their picture.

Our bushcraft experience

In our class assembly, we shared our science work we have been doing this term linked to our survival topic.

 Our residential to PGL Liddington was a great success and the children really enjoyed their time away together.

Coding!

We are using www.studio.code.org in class for our coding. There are 20 steps on the Minecraft coding programme and they get increasingly more difficult!
