News from Home!

Learning from home is not always easy and there have been lots of changes to the way we live our lives. The boys and girls at St. Joseph’s Primary School have been looking after their wellbeing by connecting with their friends and school staff in new, exciting ways. This week we held our first virtual assemblies. We have been keeping active through going on walks and engaging with online PE lessons. Staying healthy and being active is great for our physical health and fitness and it has also helped us to improve our mental wellbeing. We’ve been doing lots of activities at home we have enjoyed such as arts and crafts, reading books, playing games and learning new skills. Well done boys and girls!


Tom from Primary 1 has been helping in the garden this week, clearing all the leaves and feeding the hungry birds in their trees! Miss McKinney cannot wait until Tom is old enough to join the Eco Club!
