Merry Christmas

It’s been a very busy few weeks as Autumn term came to a close with the joy of Advent. There’s been too many things to describe in detail, so here’s a wonderful Christmas List….

1. Our superb Andrew Dovey Award winners
2. Our Gospel Value Award winners (and ‘Breakfast at Hickory’s’)
3. The St Joseph’s Choir Tour of the Bay
4. Year 5 and 6s Topic ending ‘VE Day Celebration’
5. Nursery’s ‘Cocoa and Catch Up Morning’
6. Year 1 and 2’s spectacular ‘A Bundle of Joy’
7. The 1st annual ‘St Joseph’s Christmas Tree Festival’
8. A beautiful Christmas Mass
9. A delicious Christmas Dinner
10. Our St Joseph’s Carol Service
11. Children’s homemade gifts for our Parish Food-bank

Thank you to everyone who gave their best to make this wonderful time. Children made us smile and cry, parents/carers have been so supportive (and far too generous with gifts) and, as always, every member of staff has given their all for your children. Now, you’ll have to forgive me for picking out one person for a special Christmas mention. Miss Copp has not only been teaching full time but has also been lead our choir on their performance tour of the Bay, organised and lead mass and the Carol service and provided the inspiration and planning for our fantastic Christmas Tree Festival. Miss Copp brings something special to St Joseph’s.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you and your loved ones are happy and safe over the holidays.

Mr J Wilkinson
