St Joe’s Missio – children praying and helping each other.

Ms Beaumont Leave a comment

Missio Prayer leaders gathered together during playtime on this beautiful sunny morning. We have created our own Missio prayer. Please take a moment to reflect on the words with your child. How can we be COMPASSIONATE and LOVING? Compassionate towards others, near and far, especially the less fortunate: and loving by their just actions and forgiving words.

Our St Joes Missio Prayer

Give us the strength to carry out your work, helping and praying for children.

Help us to be brave, forgiving and loving.

To be the best that we can be.

Help us to look after our world, the seas, the rivers and animals.

We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord,

Amen

Created on Tuesday 22th October by Year 2 Missio Prayer

Our first job is to create our own Missio prayer for St Joseph’s Infants.

We thought about the words of our prayer for the Diocese:

A Prayer for our Diocese


Almighty and eternal God, give us the grace and strength to carry out the work entrusted to us in the Diocese of Menevia.  Bless our families and our parishes.  You call men and women from our families to serve you as priests, deacons and in the religious life.  May we read the signs of these vocations in others and help them to follow you.  We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.   Amen.

Our School vision and Mission Statement:

Our School Vision

We are a Welsh Catholic school with a strong sense of community that caters for children from the age of 3 to 7. Our school vision is encapsulated in our school motto ‘We can do our best and God will do the rest!’  and in Article 29 – ‘Your right to be the best you can be.’ Our Catholic vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They guide our children and underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our children as confident happy citizens of Wales and of the wider world.  We provide a Christian Community where the Catholic Faith is taught and nurtured, giving learners the best possible learning experiences and outcomes. We are extremely proud of all that goes on here.

Our School Values

Our school values were chosen by parents, teachers and staff. These  represent 10 values that the whole school community chose to be central to the education of our children:

  • love of God and the wider world
  • positive self esteem
  • happiness
  • independence
  • compassionate
  • loving
  • confidence
  • resilience
  • inclusive
  • respectful

and Pope Francis’ advice to look after our world

 ‘Live wisely, think deeply, love generously’. We also reflected on One Family, One World (CAFOD).

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.

 

Estyn inspectors visited school in Jan 2019 and found

 

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.

Saint Joseph’s Infant school has excellent transition with St Joseph’s Junior School and St Joseph’s Catholic Sixth Form Centre, providing a Catholic education from 3-18 years.

If you would like to become part of our family of Catholic schools and you would like us to be partners with you, as your child take the first steps in formal education please contact Ms Julie Beaumont on 882579 to arrange an informal Drop in.

Explore the Diocesan website, looking at the number of churches, and finding out about our bishop, Bishop Tom.

Read Bible stories together or encourage older children to read a child’s Bible.

 

Suggestions for home activities:

Look through the family photograph album to help the children remember important events and special people in their lives.

Discuss how we come together for special celebrations.

 

Suggestions for home activities 

 As a family talk about how you are going to practice self-control and self-giving for the rest of the season of Lent. You may decide to give up biscuits or cakes and donate the money to a charity.

If you have an older child provide him/her with an opportunity to take part in The Stations of the Cross.   Ask your child/ren how the school is focusing on Lent and self-giving.
