• Royal Lancashire Bomb Disposal Visit!

  Fri 21 Jan 2022 Laura Orr

  We have had an exciting week in school as we had a visit from the Royal Lancashire Bomb Disposal Unit who brought their robot to demonstrate how coding and programming controls the robots movements. Their visit certainly evoked lots of discussion about using skills taught in school are used to create life saving equipment. We thank Penny’s mum Sarah and her team for taking the time to share their role in the Army and  for keeping us all safe here in the North West.

  

• Meet our ECO warriors!

  Fri 21 Jan 2022 Laura Orr

  Miss Hall has been in search for a team of ECO warriors to help keep the green in Hurst Green! Each pupil had a chance to deliver a presentation to their class saying why they should represent their year group in making our school more environmentally friendly! Their classmates voted and here they are!

  We look forward to protecting our planet with your guidance and care.

  

• Blessing of the classrooms

  Fri 07 Jan 2022 Laura Orr

  We celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany with mass in the Chapel, followed by ‘Blessing of classrooms’ where we followed the three kings as they visited each classroom, blessed it with holy water saying

  ‘The three Wise Men, Casper, Melchoir and Balthasar, followed the star to where Jesus was born two thousand and twenty-two years ago. They did him homage and offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.

  May Christ bless this classroom and all those who teach and learn this year. May it be a place of joy and peace. Amen’

  It was such a special  time and as we wrote 20+C+M+B+22 CMB is Latin for

  Christus Mansionem Benedicat (Christ bless this house) at the same time the letters are the first letters of the wise men Casper, Melchoir and Balthasar.  

  We thank Mrs O’Connor for making these beautiful memories with our children – giving meaning and depth to special liturgical events.

  

• Mr and Mrs Zolotarczuk

  Thu 06 Jan 2022 Laura Orr

  On Wednesday 22nd December 2021 we celebrated Mr Zolotarczuk's marriage to his bride Steph. On a beautiful sunny day, the couple married at St Peter's Church in Stonyhurst. A choir of children from St Joseph's Primary School brought music to the event as they sang a variety of carols throughout the service.

  We wish Mr and Mrs Zolotarczuk well as they start this new journey together.
