Missio Children from Year 1 and 2 led a special assembly today. They shared Pope Frances’s message to look after creation. By switching off lights and turning off taps.
Lest We Forget
We took part in Margam Orangery’s ‘Lest We Forget’ memorial at Margam Park this year. Beautiful tributes were shared.
We have REFLECTED in those who have died within our family, friends and community.
Come along and help us to remember.
On Sunday in St Joseph’s Parish we will call out the list of those who died during the First World War, the Second World War, The Falklands and other conflicts.
Year 2’s trip to Margam Park
Our topic this term is The Gruffalo and Into the Woods. We had a wonderful day in Margam Park on Monday where Rhian, our guide, had created lots of exciting activities for us based around our senses!
First we played a senses game…
Next we made a leaf picture frame…
Then we had to find different materials to create a ‘smelly pot’. We had to add a magic potion!
It was very smelly!
After that, we were blindfolded and had to feel different objects using our sense of touch.
After lunch, we listened to the Gruffalo story. We had to help the Gruffalo characters find a new home because the bad weather had blown their homes away!
We crossed a stream into the deep, dark, woods…

Finally, we made a home for our woodland creature friends using natural materials!

Defibrillator Fundraising
Staff climb Pen Y Fan!
In September 2017, staff climbed Pen y Fan to raise money to purchase a defibrillator for our school. We raised over £500 in sponsorship and along with other monies raised, are now able to purchase two Defibrillator’s! One for our school and one to donate to our juniors. Da iawn pawb.
