On Friday 15th April, a team of 16 children from St Joseph's travelled to Millfield in Street to represent the Sedgemoor area (and the school) in the County Spring Games Finals. Five Gymnasts from Key Stage 1 and five from Key Stage 2 took to the floor and the spring board in an effort to be crowned County Champions! The teams competed with passion and determination and performed extremely well, especially as many of the children were a year under age. Although we did not manage to place as a team, one of the children did win an individual bronze medal, which is an achievement in itself considering the level of competition. A huge well done to all of you. A truly brilliant effort!
In a separate part of the school, six of our very talented boys in Year 6 were competing in the basketball competition, once again looking to be crowned County champions! The boys played some of the best basketball I have seen in a very long time and despite loosing the first couple of games, they regrouped and rather than feeling sorry for themselves, galvanised into action, winning the next two games and drawing the following two......it was just brilliant to watch! They eventually ended the competition in 4th place, sadly just outside the medals but holding their heads high after a truly spirited performance!

A lovely sunny evening saw three children from St Joseph's selected to represent the Sedgemoor area in the prestigious County Primary Schools Cross Country Finals held this year in Yeovil. I had the great pleasure to go along to watch Lillie, Harriet and Fletcher all compete in the Year 3/4 separate boys and girls races. All three children were fantastic, running on a hard, fast course with real grit and determination. The level of competition in this event is extremely strong, with many of the athletes already training at local clubs. All three St Joseph's children are competing a year under age, so the future looks really bright for next years competition! Great effort guys!

A team of 20 children travelled to our local swimming pool this afternoon to compete in the area swimming gala. A fantastic team effort saw the team finish in 2nd place out of five schools (many of which are far larger than ours). The team spirit and camaraderie was second to none, not to mention the quality of swimming! A huge well done to everyone - I look forward to seeing a few of you in future Olympics!!
