Dalguise 2025 Day 1 Straight into activities and having a great time!

This week, P7 have been visiting some of our local care homes to spread some Christmas cheer. We enjoyed singing for the residents and are grateful for the very warm welcomes we have received. Merry Christmas from P7!

P7 had lots of fun during our school-wide Outdoor Learning day today. We found resources which we later used to make artworks and structures. We looked after our local community by taking part in a litter picking event and took part in a maths scavenger hunt in the playground.

Thank you to everyone that donated towards the foodbank, thanks to your contribution we can help the people that are in need. We acquired 150 items in total.

Today in class, P7 resumed their Project Based Learning activities. Each person chose a set of skills that they wanted to develop and then chose a project which would help them achieve these goals. Some wonderful work has been taking place so far!

A big thank you again to Mr Binnie from @WestLoCollege , who came in to visit our P1s yesterday. We made some wonderful drawings and then used wood to turn them into real models.

P7 took part in a visit to Sky Up Academy in Livingston today. We researched our topic (A.I) then the team at Sky helped us share all this information by creating a news report. P7 parents can see our report via the QR code on the sky up card which your child brought home.

On Monday 2nd September, Dr Bike will be visiting St Joseph's on a mission to help every child have a cycle-worthy bike. If you have a bike at home, which is in need of repair, please bring it to school on Monday and the doctor will try to repair it for free.

P1 and P7 have taken some time to get to know one another through social games and spending time with one another. Today we had lots of fun playing games in the hall.

The pop-up shop will visit us tomorrow, Wednesday 26th June, from 12-4pm with a wide range of clothing at hugely reduced prices. The pop up shop is open to all families, no booking required. St Joseph’s Fashion Show will also take place tomorrow, however this is a ticketed event.

Today we welcomed the nursery children who will begin P1 in August. The children had the chance to meet their new 'buddies' and spent some time playing together in the playground. More photos are available on our school blog.

Thank you to everyone who made it along to our 'Play Based Learning' parent event yesterday. The children enjoyed sharing their learning with their family members.

Day 2 just a few snaps see more on our blog.

Arrived safely, settling in and already on our second activity,

Celebrating the Sacraments - Congratulations to all those who were confirmed by Archbishop Leo Cushley.

Celebrating the Sacraments - Congratulations to those who received their First Holy Communion.

This week at St Joseph's, we started our 'Project Based Learning' sessions. P6 have chosen to develop their creativity, team working and communication skills by taking part in a range of activities such as creating an art portfolio, sewing clothes for toys and creating 3D models.

Thank you to Mrs Haigh who kindly came in to speak to us about her work in engineering and bridge construction. We learned about ways that bridges are transported and how engineering can change peoples lives.
