They took part in a Forest School session, which was nothing short of fantastic. Our pupils had the opportunity to collect natural materials and, working carefully and collaboratively, they successfully created their own fire. Their focus, maturity, and sense of responsibility were outstanding. Every child demonstrated excellent safety awareness, listened attentively to guidance, and supported their friends throughout the activity. It was a proud moment for staff to witness such sensible behaviour and strong teamwork in action. ### Developing New Skills at Queen’s Campus As if that wasn’t enough excitement for one week, Year 3 also enjoyed an engaging racket‑skills workshop at **Queen’s Campus**. The session introduced them to new techniques, including swing control, hitting skills, and structured play. The instructors were impressed by their enthusiasm and willingness to try their best. Our children encouraged one another, showed great determination, and embraced the challenge with confidence. Their behaviour was exemplary from start to finish. ### A Week Full of Pride Across both activities, Year 3 represented St Joseph’s beautifully. Their respect, teamwork, and positive attitudes shone through, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything they achieved. Well done, Year 3 - what a week you’ve had! ![St Joseph's Billingham forest school](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/images/630561155_1284682130379138_2217109582997802017_n.jpg)![St Joseph's sports festival](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/images/632678279_1285594836954534_4716948080144618374_n.jpg) ![St Joseph's Billingham forest school](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/images/633554138_1285595003621184_4892373039710315470_n.jpg)![](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/images/631771335_1284682650379086_6246205532077795805_n.jpg) [Extracurricular](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/news/tag/extracurricular) [ Celebrating the Magic of National Storytelling Week](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/news/2026-02-10-celebrating-the-magic-of-national-storytelling-week) [Sporting Success and Smiles All Round! ](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/news/2026-02-17-sporting-success-and-smiles-all-round) ![St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School Low Grange Avenue Billingham TS23 3NN 01642 560056 - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/St-Josephs-Billingham-103735271280859/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Newsletters](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/news-events/newsletters) - [Accelerated Reader](https://global-zone61.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/6709571) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/St-Josephs-Billingham-103735271280859/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stjosephs_billingham/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-billingham-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
