Today we ventured out to take notice of nature to give our mental health a boost in #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek. We went birdwatching for RSPB England Big School Birdwatch to feel a part of our wider community and be good stewards of nature. StJoseph StBede RCPS

As part of our Waste topic for Eco-Schools England, we have been learning about how the clothing industry effects climate change. We decided to hold a second hand shop to reuse good quality clothing that we no longer need♻️. #cutyourcarbon StJoseph StBede RCPS #sjsbsmsc #sjsbpshe

This week in #Laudatosi we have chosen a variety of seeds to grow for our school, including flowers herbs and veg. We have re-used single-use plastic mushroom trays and plastic bottles to plant in and an old plastic container as a mini greenhouse.Eco-Schools England StJoseph StBede RCPS

LaudatoSi Club watered their germinating seedlings. Then we weeded the EYFS planter and covered it with a weed suppressant until the children are ready to plant. StJoseph StBede RCPS Eco-Schools England

Happy Laudato Si' Week! 🌍🌻🙏 As we celebrate the eighth anniversary of Pope Francis' inspiring document, we explore a little more about Laudato Si', what it means to us, and how we can live out its core messages in our day-to-day lives.

Today Laudato Si club members helped to set up some lunchtime gardening for children to freely join as well as planting up the planter by the main entrance. We planted sunflowers, pumpkins, cosmos and beetroot kindly donated by Charlotte Hather.

This afternoon Laudato Si/Farm club raised £56.52 selling donuts. With the generous donations we will purchase a new roof for the rabbits shelter and forest school supplies. Thank you for your support everyone. StJoseph StBede RCPS

Today in Farm Club we were very lucky to meet our new hens kindly donated by Mrs Hather. Our Farm Club did a health check on them today to decide if they are ready to join our flock. Now we need to think of some names. So far we’ve had Claxy, Nugget, Rainbow. StJoseph StBede RCPS

Today we chopped up fruit and veg for a healthy salad for our farm animals. We carefully removed seeds. The animals loved the salad. What a healthy treat to cheer them up on a stormy evening. StJoseph StBede RCPS

KS1 have been learning about change and loss this week. We understand that change is a necessary part of life and we identified some strategies for supporting ourselves and others through these times of transition. We showed wonderful respect and empathy. I am so proud! #sjsbpshe

I am very proud of our staff Miss McCaffer Miss Burns and Miss Keiley for completing their Chartered College of Teaching certificate in evidence informed practice. Helping to drive standards through researched practice. #sjsb #sjsbCPD
