Oxford Reading Buddy

Mrs Owen Leave a comment

Dear parents and guardians,

Welcome to our new online reading service! This sits alongside our current reading scheme.

Step 1. You will find your child’s log in details on the inside of their reading record.

Your child’s teacher has set your child’s library to include books from stage 1 up to the current stage they are on.

Some ebooks have a quiz to complete after reading the story. Quizzes are similar to new online literacy National Tests which children will sit in the Summer term in year 2.

Quizzes are important feedback that tell parents and teachers how well a child has understood their book.

Encourage your child to read the text without the audio, but they will also enjoy listening to the story being read to them. Text tracking helps your child to follow the text.

The Three Kings Visit

Mrs Owen Leave a comment

In school this week, staff and children have reflected on the visit of the wise men who travelled from the East, bringing with them such strange gifts; gold, frankincense and myrrh. What strange gifts to give a baby?

They came to worship Jesus born to be King of all the world.

Take some time to think about our gifts for Jesus.

Admissions for Saint Joseph’s Infant School

 

St Joseph’s Catholic Infant School is a Christ centred caring and effective learning community, where pupils aged 3-7 years celebrate through prayer and worship their love of God. Walking in the footsteps of Christ we work together to love one another and help others. Our aim is to provide the very best learning experience for each and every child through working together as a school community to make St Joseph’s the very best school it can be.

Pupils enjoy coming to school and have positive attitudes to learning and playing with friends. These strong relationships and the secure environment helps them feel safe and happy in school.
