For the first time in the history of St Joseph's, we sent a team of Year 6 children to compete in the Sedgemoor Area Rounders competition. As a school, we've always allowed children access to a wide range of curriculum sports rather that focusing on just the chosen few! At St Joseph's, the children only learn to play Rounders in Year 3 and Year 5 but have access to other sports in between.
Sadly, this does put us at a slight disadvantage against other schools who prioritise this one sport. Having said that, at this year's competition you would never have known that this was the case! The team of eleven girls and boys were just brilliant and showed off their true sporting ability; they were competitive throughout the competition against some very strong schools that are well over three time the size of ours!
Both Mr Fisher and Mr Franklin were so very pleased with how the children conducted themselves throughout the competition. It's always good to be given a new sporting opportunity and this team of remarkable Year 6 children embraced it and were once again a credit to the school!
