African drums

On Wednesday 24th October, the whole school went to the hall, to enjoy some African drumming and story telling.  We were told a little story about Africa. There were two girls who followed a follow bird. The bird leaded them to a honey hive, that was full of honey.  The two girls were surprised, and took a jar of it. On the way home the girl that was holding the honey dropped it they where both shocked, and the girl who was holding it said "why does everything bad happen to me?"  We clapped to drumming rhythms, and learned some African words, and some year groups even danced.  It was enjoyable and  everyone had a fun day.

Bushmead perform Shakespeare

On Tuesday 23rd October Bushmead Primary school came to perform a Shakespeare play for the Shakespeare school festival. They performed 12th night because the play inspired them.
The actors and actresses performed very well,  and made the play their own.  It was a little confusing because some girls played boys and some boys played girls (very confusing isn't it!)That's what they did in Shakespeare's times though.
Bushmead's performance was very funny and we loved the way they knew their parts off by heart.

First Holy Communion Classes

This year, many of the year 3s are taking communion classes, on  the next step in our Christian life. Last week,  we took a trip to the church to look at the statues.  We also talked to Father John about how important  Jesus  and God are in our lives.

The Great Netball Match!

Last week,  the year six netball team played a brilliant match against St.Martins.  Both teams tried really hard, so hard that St. Joe's eventually  won twenty-two nil!  There were eight players altogether including Mr. Rigby our great netball coach.  He has an appetite for great netball matches!
