We had a beautiful All Saints Day Liturgy this morning as we brought up the names of people we would like to pray for during the month of November. Each class brought and lit a candle to place around the altar. Thank you to year 5/6 for leading the prayers.

During his brief time and final year at Primary school, we had the privilege of seeing how hard working, polite and well mannered Cole was. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends at this terrible time.
Take a look at our fantastic new book spines, from our core texts. Who will spot the books next to the classroom entrances when we start back?

A fantastic virtual assembly this morning to celebrate the achievements of those in school and out of school with bubble closures. We didnโt even break teams with so many of us on ๐ช. Well done everyone. We are very proud of you all.
Happy St Josephโs day. May we all learn to listen to the voice of God. We are going to celebrate as a school together at Mass tomorrow at 10am St Josephโs Church Bury. All are welcome.
Thank you very much to our โFriends of SJSBโ who gifted all the staff a thank you cake along with the birthday children today. It is very much appreciated.

A big thank you to a past pupil who stopped one of our goats being stolen at about 2.30pm this afternoon. I was there at 3pm and they were all ok. A little quiet but ok. They are now all locked away safely. Please keep being vigilant. These are defenceless baby animals! Mrs M
On the fourth anniversary of the arena attack we remember together all those who lost their lives, who were injured, bereaved and those who still face the ongoing impact of that night. Our prayers remain with them as they continue to grieve and heal.
Today we said goodbye to our Class of 2023. Our little bees are now fully formed and ready to fly away to the next stage of their educational journey. We will miss you all but you are ready and we are very proud! ๐
Thank you to everyone who donated items for our outdoor STEM area. As you can see the children are putting it to good use. What an amazing change to lunchtimes. sjsbSTEM

No doubt you will have questions following tonightโs announcement, which we heard at the same time as you. We are awaiting further guidelines but in the short term nothing has changed for schools. We will be in touch as soon as we are in a position to do so.

For Lent we ask that the children save 20ps for any good deeds they do or from the things they have given up. For St. Josephโs day they will be given a tube of smarties once eaten they can decorate and fill the tube with the 20pโs. Best decoration wins a prize.
