Thank you our lovely staff at St. Joseph's for taking part in #NSPCCNUMBERDAY and having lovely time with children, celebrating Maths and helping others.

#NSPCCNUMBERDAY We sincerely thank our generous families for their donations in support of the NSPCC charity. In the UK, half a million children experience abuse or neglect each year. On average, a child reaches out to Childline every 45 seconds. Every donation made a difference.

Let Down Your Nets
The Gospel this week describes how Simon Peter, James and John were compelled to follow Jesus after witnessing a miraculous catch of fish. This assembly reminded children that they too are invited to follow Jesus and become part of God’s family.

I Have Seen The Promise
When Simeon and Anna saw baby Jesus in the Temple, in faith they recognised Him as the Messiah, the fulfilment of God’s promise. Children came to know that Jesus was the light that led us to joy, peace and truth.

During Computing lesson, year 4 children identified which images have been edited to convey something which is not true. We discussed why some information on the World Wibe Web may not be accurate and how information can be spread quickly and implications of this.

Children in Year 4 were conducting research to gather detailed information about Brazil, including its culture, geography, history, food, sports and landmarks.

This week’s Gospel shows Jesus’ first public miracle at a family wedding. When the wine ran out, Mary’s faith-filled response helped others to believe in Jesus. This assembly invited children to take any problems to Jesus, follow His instructions and believe in Him.

On Thursday, children in Year 4 visited Manchester Museum. We met characters lost in time, chose a character and took on a series of challenges to help send them back home. How? By gathering enough energy from museum objects to open a time portal! We had so much fun!

This week's assembly helped children to understand the significance of Jesus’ Baptism and what it means for us all in entering the Kingdom of God. Children explored the symbols of Baptism and were offered a time to invite the Holy Spirit into their hearts.

Year 4 children explored who owned the content on the World Wide Web (or ‘web’ for short). We explored a variety of websites and investigated what we could and could not do with the content on them. We also related this to principles of ownership and sharing in the real world.

The Feast of Epiphany celebrates Jesus being revealed to the Wise Men after their long journey following the star. During the assembly we had an opportunity to reflect on our own journey with Jesus and what gifts we could offer Him.

The children in Year 4 had a fantastic time exploring factor pairs during their lesson. They engaged in various activities that helped them identify and understand the concept of factor pairs, using both hands-on tools and collaborative problem-solving.

Thanks to Engineering Educates at the University of Manchester for providing the lessons and resources for Year 6 to complete their robotics challenge. @EngEdChallenge @UoMSEERIH

[St Joseph's Ordsall @StJosephsM5]

Year 6 really enjoyed their Robotics Engineering Educates Challenge. They worked as engineers to design and build Shopping delivery Robots and learned how engineers program robots so they know what to do. @EngEdChallenge @UoMSEERIH

On Friday, Year 6 completed their robotics challenge with a computing session. They programmed the BeeBots to travel from the shop to the house avoiding the obstacles. They all really enjoyed the activity. @EngEdChallenge @UoMSEERIH.
