Hello and welcome back to school St Josephine's Superstars!!
We hope you have had a super half term break, filled with lots of autumnal activities (we have heard about lots of plans for autumn walks and pumpkin picking)!
This term is our favourite as it is the run up to Christmas, which is especially magical in a catholic school - we are so lucky!
Please see below to keep posted on any new information, dates or news.

Notices:
- Children have been allocated a reader day- they need to bring their reading book in on that day. Their books will be changed if required on this allocated day. On this day, your child will visit the library to choose a reading book for pleasure which they will keep in class to read in their free time.
- Homework is handed out on Fridays and due in the following Wednesday. Every homework task needs to be completed to earn a stamp at the front of the homework book. A whole term of stamps = a prize!
- Spellings are handed out with their homework and they will be tested the following Friday.
- PE lessons take place on a Tuesday. Please remember to bring your PE kit into school at the beginning of each week.
- Please make sure all clothing items are clearly labelled with your child's name, this includes PE Kits.
- A reusable water bottle should be named and brought into school daily for your child.
- Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) should be used at every opportunity. Being able to fluently recall times table facts is extremely important! We are going to be using TTRS daily in class and it would be amazing if you could use it at home as well.
- Purple Mash, TTRS and My Maths passwords have been given out - please see the front of your child's reading record for their log in details. Please continue to explore these wonderful resources. Homework may sometimes be set via the above, so please keep passwords safe.
