We´ve had some great fun with the last two weeks- we had our Active Week, Art week and Biodiversity Week where the local plants and wildlife were explored and many boys have developed gardening green fingers. One boy was missing school so much he made his own school with Lego! Finally we had our bakeoff and Mr. Reale has just announced that Charlie from Ms. Tynan´s class is the winner with his “Social Distancing” Cake!! Well done everyone!

‘Sports Day’ Week
Wow, wow, wow what a week of fun and challenges that was!! Massive congratulations to all the boys that took part in our challenges ‘Try and beat the teacher’ and of course to our wonderful teachers who set the challenges.
Boys, you all did incredibly well. The amount of skill and talent in St Joseph’s is second to none. Everyone who sent in a video or a photo of themselves doing a challenge will be put into a draw for a prize in September. Best of luck to all of you.
Make sure to keep the active levels up over the summer. You are all champions…….next stop ‘The Olympics’!!!

Slán libh!

A Special Message for our First Communion Boys
This should have been your special day,
For you to laugh and love and pray
But things have happened beyond our control,
And we’ve all had to take a different role.
Today the sun shines bright and clear,
What should have been your day, so dear.
Do not be sad, your day will come,
When you shall receive your Holy Communion.
But from now until then, we’ll say our prayers to Holy God,
Especially at night as we drift to the land of nod.
All our boys, you are all amazing,
To you I cannot stop but praising.
Remember you are special, brave and loved,
Until we see each other again……. here’s a great big virtual hug
A great Video from one of our Students
We received this video that was made by Dylan, one of our first class pupils, and we just had to share it. When you watch it you’ll understand why.
Enjoy!
