ST JOSEPH’S CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL AND NURSERY
NURSERY In our spacious Nursery classroom each child’s success story begins with caring, knowledgeable practitioners, experienced in ensuring that they are happy, challenged and engaged. The environment and resources are designed to provide opportunities to develop key skills of resilience, team work, concentration and problem-solving. After several terms of child-initiated, energetic learning at all levels, our children move on to the rest of their school life with the confidence, independence and positive attitude to set them up for a bright future.
EYFS At St Joseph’s we value the importance of the Early years and our children are able to learn through open-ended, play-based activities. Our recently refurbished classrooms are filled with natural, neutral resources that inspire curiosity and wonder for our children. Our skilled members of staff work with the children to extend their learning through their interests and play. Through their knowledge of the curriculum, staff are able to respond to children’s individual needs and skills. At St Joseph’s we want to ensure our children grow spiritually and develop their connection with God. In class we join in with daily worships, we say prayers and we learn key stories from the Bible. We work with our families to ensure our children have the best start in their education journeys.’
#writethenextchapter West Berkshire Council are currently seeking new foster carers who could provide a loving and secure home for siblings such as Olivia, Freya and Jack who can no longer live at home. We need families who can offer these children a chance to maintain their relationships. Could you be the family they need thrive together? If you think you are ready for this challenge, then please contact the Family Placement Team on T: 01635 503155 E: Fostering@westberks.gov.uk

Dear Santa At Christmas I think all children should have fun playing and making things. I like making crafts and doing colouring and painting. For Christmas I would like a bigger bike because I have grown so much, roller skates and a scooter. Mummy and Daddy say I might be lucky and get one of those things – but I really want all three. At school we are doing a nativity play and I am Joseph! This year we are being filmed because the grown-ups aren't allowed to come to school because of the coronavirus. If I had a wish, I would wish for ever yone to have a lovely Christmas so please can you help? Thank you Santa Love Oliver x
Dear Santa, I love you. I hope your reindeers have enough to drink and are well. I’d like you to come to my house, so I can see you and the reindeer. Come and see my house. You can stay here this week if you like. Please can I have a baby panda and a baby panda bottle. Have a nice Christmas and drive safely. Love Darcey xxxxxx

Dear Santa, I have been a very good boy so far this year and I am really looking forward to my first ever Christmas. My little teeth are starting to come through so I would really like something I can chew on. My big sister Summer has told me we must remember to put out some milk, carrots and a mince pie for you and your reindeers. Hope you are all safe and well at the North Pole. Lots of love, Noah
Dear Santa I have been very good this year and I am doing very well at big school. I really miss my two best friends Aoife and Georgia from nursery and hope to see them again soon when the virus has gone. I would really like this year a big T-Rex, a Barbie and a Beautiful chair. Lots of love Summer

Dear Santa Claus I know you only give presents to good girls and boys that’s why I’ve been extra good this year! I even stopped eating eggs around my brother because they make him ill. I hope you and Mrs Claus the elves and reindeer have kept safe this year . I will get you some special cookies, milk and carrots for the reindeer. Because I’ve been so good, I would like it, if I ’m able, to get a dolls house, a toy dog as my brother gets poorly with real doggies, a book for my big sister and a football for my brother . If we get this my mum will be happy because she said the only thing that makes her happy is to see us happy. I hope you have a very safe journey and remember to wear your mask.
Dear Santa Claus, I have tried extremely hard this year to behave. I have tried my hardest at everything– I make sure I look after my sisters and my mum says I’m such a old fashioned boy with the best morals. I hope you and your family have been keeping safe and I hope Covid-19 has not got to the North Pole! I am going to leave you some hand sanitiser along with your treats I leave you so that you keep safe. I know it’s been a hard year and if you can I would like to receive anything to do with football or wildlife – I love to be outside exploring or playing football so this will make me very happy. Love

Dear Santa, My name is Amelie, and I am 3 years old. I am so excited for you to visit on Christmas Eve. My Granny Pat asked me to write this letter and send it to the Newbury Weekly News . It’s Granny’s favourite paper, and Granny says it’s your favourite too so you’ ll get to read this. I am working hard to stay on the good list (well most of the time), and I have sorted out some of my old toys and books to give to other children not as fortunate as me. This year I would really like to see all my family, especially my Nana and Grandpa, who I haven’ t been able to see much this year . I would also like a pedal bike and a camera. We will leave treats for you and your reindeer. I am very good at sleeping, so are Mummy and Daddy, and we promise to be fast asleep when you come. Lots of Love Amelie Kelly (aged 3)
Dear Santa My name is Chika – I am eight years old and my brother’s name is Chima , he is four years old. Please my brother and I have been so good this year. We respect and listen to our parents. We are also nice to our friends and we always do our challenges in school. Please Santa can I have a Nintendo switch and can my brother have a motorbike because he loves racing.
