Our School’s Garden Birdwatch '08
Nuts and bird feeders have been put out for the birds so that pupils can watch and record all the different types of birds visiting our school grounds. We will be making hides to help us hide from the birds as we watch them and the Wildthings group will be doing more ecological activities too.
PTA Valentine’s Disco!
Our Valentine’s Disco is coming up – more details next week. The Hall will be decorated for the afternoon by the PTA and children.
Admissions
Our numbers are up this year, so if you have a child due to start nursery in September, please pick up an enrolment form from the office as soon as possible as Calderdale need to know the numbers by Easter at the very latest. If you know of any other parents who are interested in enrolling their child here at St. Joseph’s, I would appreciate it if you ask them to get in touch. I will make myself available to show them around the school and answer any queries they may have.
