Thank you to those who attended our Art exhibition. We hope you enjoyed it.
Feedback from both children and parents was hugely positive and the event was a real celebration of our children's creativity. We look forward to repeating this again next year.

What a week! Sport week has been a great success and thank you to those parents who joined us for sports day this morning. God has been looking down and sent us brilliant weather. The children have been full of life and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The week has been filled with football tournaments, yoga, Jiu Jitsu, laser, tag, dodgeball, and has ended with a brilliant sports day.
As part of sports day, our children created flags for the class seats. These represented their class logos. I’m sure you’ll agree they did a fantastic job

We started our week this week with an assembly to explore the theme of National Schools Sports Week. We talked to the children about not only using physical activities for our physical health but also to support our Mental health. We then introduced our activities for the week and how these would support us in our Misson statement of living life to the full.

After a hugely successful Holy Rosary Bake off, we hosted our Father's day coffee morning. During the morning, we sang songs as a thank you to all our dads and those who take on similar roles. Whilst we sang, parents, and most importantly dads, were able to relax and enjoy a coffee and a cake.
Thank you to those who helped organise this and also those who were able to join us.

Miss Warsap planned International Children’s day with a focus on children’s rights. Children focused their day around a picture book called “Every Child a Song”. This was followed up by engaging in activities in class. The children made birds as symbols from the story. If you get chance to come into school, look for the Children's Rights signs on display.

The theme for Mental Health Week this year was “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”. The children had a great time and definitely made time to move. Mrs Green and our sports leader got the children outside to explore strategies they could use when they are finding things tough,

On Wednesday 8th May, we celebrated together the Month of May which is dedicated to our patron Mary. The children brought flowers to school and the Faith team led us in a special reflection. This was followed by a procession around school as we sang a song to Mary and crowned her.
Thank you to all those who brought flowers to honour her.

As a school, we are getting ready for the Olympics due to be held in Paris later in 2024. This is, as always an exciting event and one which we love to celebrate together.
In conjunction with Get Set ( our PE scheme provider ), we are embarking on a virtual tour of Paris, visiting many locations along the way. Each class has their own team and when the children complete a physical activity in school, they log this on the Get Set to Paris app with their QR code and unique code. Each activity converts to miles and each class's team bus moves along its journey around 16 countries to get to the Paris Olympics. Each week in assembly, we celebrate how far each class has travelled and set challenges for the week - we have even introduced a staff team.
As the children have engaged with this so well, they have asked about logging activities they do out of school either as a team or even with their family. As a result, we have set up a "Holy Rosary Families" Team. We ask that any time you do any form of activity, you scan the QR code in the poster or visit
Here you will submit your activity under the team Holy Rosary Families and input the code 0944, it will be converted to miles and your team bus will be on its way. we will share its progress on Twitter X @HRsport and in our weekly assembly.
Each week we will also send home activities for you to try as a family in case you run out of ideas or are looking for inspiration.
Good Luck !!!
Let's see who can reach Paris first.
Thanks

This week, those children who have been trained as sports leaders, got together to plan out activities for the playground in support of active lifestyles. They considered which activities they know worked well and tried to be creative in planning out things all children could access, These have now been timetabled and the children will use their leadership skills to help others get active at playtime.

The Laudato Si ambassadors have been developing their skills and increasing their knowledge of how to care for God's creation with the help of the experts at Wildbrook Community Allotment. They got to learn about the best ways to plant and how living things have an effect on how things grow in certain environments. The children brought their knowledge back and are using this to shape their own next steps.

International day of happiness Prayer stations day
Date: 21st Mar 2024 @ 10:06am
Wednesday 20th March was International day of happiness. In school, we used this day to hold a prayer stations day and link our happiness to prayer and scripture. All the children spent time engaging in the prayer stations and it was great to see parents join us for these activities at the end of the day.

On Friday, the 8th of March, we hosted our Mother's Day Big Breakfast. It was lovely to see so many families join us to celebrate all those "mums" who help us. The event was really well attended and money raised will be donated to the Alzheimer's Society.
Thank you to Mrs Dootson and Mrs Taylor for organising the event and to all school staff who helped put their plan in place.
St Joseph's Penny Sponsored event
Date: 12th Mar 2024 @ 9:56am
On Friday, the 8th of March, we hosted our St Joseph's Penny sponsored event. During the day, the children in school had to see how many times they could bounce a balloon into the air without dropping it. This was to raise money for our Lenten Appeal. Each year, during Lent, we organise a Lenten Appeal to support the Diocesan charity St. Joseph’s Penny. St. Joseph’s Penny supports needy children in our own Diocese and allows our children to help other children in Jesus’ name during Lent.
The children had a great amount of fun whilst raising money for a good cause. See class Twitter pages for more photographs.
We will update you at the end of term with our final amount.
Thank you for your support with this event.

Headstories was the theme of our World Book Day this year with children invited to wear something on their head to represent a story. The children certainly rose to the occasion and there were some fantastic creations. The children were also invited to story time after school and it was great to see so many parents join us.
For those who could not attend, we shared a daily masked reader where children could listen to an online story read by an adult at school. Did you manage to guess who read the stories?
