Chess Lunchtime Thurs/Fri
Chess is one of the most powerful educational tools available to strengthen a child's mind. Most 6 -7 year olds can follow the basic rules and some children as young as 4 or 5 can play. Whatever a child's age, chess can enhance concentration, patience, and perseverance, as well as develop creativity, intuition, and memory. Most importantly, children can develop the ability to analyse and deduce from a set of general principles, to make tough decisions and to solve problems flexibly.
At St Joseph’s we have Chess as a Lunch Club Thursdays and Fridays at the lunch break. Beginners welcome.
Canteen - Volunteers needed
Volunteers are needed to assist with our School Canteen which is open on Thursdays and Fridays. Please contact the office if you are able to assist.
