Poppies are on sale in school. Children can bring in a donation for Poppy Scotland to get one. They are invited this Sunday to attend the Remembrance service in Bonnybridge too.

We are revising calculating amounts of money & calculating change. We were given a fictional boy/girl, age, their interests & a budget. We used the Smyths catalogue to pick toys for them that met the criteria. It was hard as everything ended in 99p! #thestjoesstory @smythstoyssuper.bsky.social

It would be lovely if some P7 children could attend this especially as we have been learning about WW2 in class. #LestWeForget

Our House Captains were counting up the house points today; visiting each classroom, knocking the door, waiting on a reply, asking if it was a good time to visit, counting quietly so not to disturb, thanking the teacher as they left. Calculating the 7 classes points. Phew #lifeskills #thestjoesstory

Skills Academy - Wk4 This week the infant classes were learning about Digital Wellbeing. We worked in pairs to complete a series of games to show us how to stay safe online. We had to listen to our partner's ideas & agree an answer. Collaborative work & focus! We got a certificate! #thestjoesstory

Thank you to the Caritas pupils from St Mungo's @stmungoshs.bsky.social for coming in to speak to us about moving into S1. We thoroughly enjoyed it and especially loved having two former St Joseph's pupils here! @stjosephsps.bsky.social #thestjoesstory

Sunday is the Feast of the Holy Cross. We discussed how important the cross is in our faith, not just as a symbol, but also in our prayers - we start each day with the sign of the cross. We used the glue gun to make crosses and we added our own intentions. @stjosephsps.bsky.social #thestjoesstory

Fitness outside. But let's add music! (And a wee soda pop dance at the end!) #thestjoesstory @stjosephsps.bsky.social @mrsbyrne.bsky.social #Kpop

Skills Academy - Week 2. The four Cs of Digital Wellbeing. We worked in groups to research our 'C' and present it. We had to work collaboratively - taking turns, eye contact, respecting opinions and ideas & ensuring all were involved & valued. This required a lot of focus, too! #thestjoesstory

Perks of P7 No.48765... Joining the parish community for tea in the hall after our 100yr anniversary mass! We were perfect role models in church and in the hall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #thestjoesstory @stjosephsps.bsky.social @mrsbyrne.bsky.social

Skills Academy - Digital Wellbeing. We worked in groups to discuss the four Cs of internet safety. We had one 'C' per group which we had to reseach & teach to the other groups. We were using our focusing and collaborating meta-skills. We discussed what each skill 'would look like'. #thestjoesstory

A busy morning in P7. We have worked on Time - converting analogue to digital and 12hr to 24hr. We then worked on our French with Mrs A. We had P.E outside, working in stations to develop our skills and fitness! And yet you might still get a "nothing" when asked what they did today 🤣#thestjoesstory

On Friday we started our WW2 topic. We worked in pairs, of our choice, to determine what we already knew, what we wanted to know and how we wanted to learn. #thestjoesstory @mrsbyrne.bsky.social @stjosephsps.bsky.social

That feeling when you have made it to the back row of assembly! 🥳 No more benches for P7! @mrsbyrne.bsky.social @stjosephsps.bsky.social #thestjoesstory
