A huge thank you to **Jaci Stroud** – **artist, illustrator, and author** – for spending the day with us and sharing her creativity with our pupils. Throughout the day, **each class** enjoyed taking part in a range of **creative art activities**, experimenting with different media including **charcoal** and **powder watercolours**. The artwork was inspired by Jaci’s book, ***The Elephant and the Bee***, written in support of **Save the Elephants**. The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring new artistic techniques and working creatively in response to the story. It was a **fantastic day**, full of creativity and experimentation, and a wonderful experience for our whole school community. We would like to thank Jaci Stroud for visiting **St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Coundon**, and for providing such an enjoyable and creative experience for our pupils. ### Artist Visit - Jaci Stroud [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/661783946_1388990669915576_2713258727101052844_n.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/images/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/661783946_1388990669915576_2713258727101052844_n.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/663103531_1388990743248902_108194010128228170_n.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/images/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/663103531_1388990743248902_108194010128228170_n.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/662076033_1388991333248843_981050871010896051_n.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/images/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/662076033_1388991333248843_981050871010896051_n.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/663337891_1388991323248844_3456477676825090773_n.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/images/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/663337891_1388991323248844_3456477676825090773_n.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/662010311_1388990866582223_3151392616586020711_n.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/images/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/662010311_1388990866582223_3151392616586020711_n.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/662319802_1388991096582200_7976264942955612301_n.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/images/gallery/artist-visit-jaci-stroud/662319802_1388991096582200_7976264942955612301_n.jpg) [Enrichment](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/news/tag/enrichment) [ Inspiring Futures in Aviation: Year 5/6 Learn With Simfly at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Coundon](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/news/2026-03-30-inspiring-futures-in-aviation-year-5-6-learn-with-simfly-at-st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-) [Reception Pupils Enjoy Farm Visit from St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Coundon ](https://st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/news/2026-05-11-reception-pupils-enjoy-farm-visit-from-st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-coundon) ![St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-joseph-s-catholic-primary-school-admin-stjoseph-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School Victoria Lane Coundon Bishop Auckland County Durham DL14 8NN 01388 602 608 - [Online Payments](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/StJosephsCoundon) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stjosephs_coundon/) ### 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-admin-stjoseph-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
