Christmas Activities in School - Letter
Wed 30 Nov 2022Dear Parents,
KS1 & KS2 Christmas Performances 2022
On Tuesday 13th December at 2:00pm (entry from 1:45) and Wednesday 14th December at 10:00am (entry from 9:45) the children from Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes will be performing a Christmas Nativity.
You are invited to join us in the school hall. However, as space is limited due to Health and Safety, it will be necessary to restrict families to 2 tickets in total. Tickets will be available to collect in the playground from 8:45 – 9.00 am on Monday 5th and Tuesday 6th of December.
There will be enough for each family to have 2 tickets in total for either the AM or PM performance or x 1 ticket for each performance. If someone is collecting on your behalf they will be asked for a signature to say they have received the tickets.
On the day of the performance you will be asked for your ticket upon entry, so please keep it somewhere safe. If you don’t need your ticket/s please return to the office or to Mrs Williams who will allocate to those on the waiting list. It should not be passed to another parent as it will not correspond with our lists and you could be refused entry. There will be a waiting list (spare tickets) at the time of collecting your tickets for exceptional circumstances.
These will be issued once all families have collected their tickets.
As you may appreciate this performance will be quite an occasion for the children, so we do request that very young siblings do not attend, as this can cause some disturbance during the production. Teachers will take photos of their own classes for the school website and photos will also be published in the local newspaper. We will give details of this closer to the time.
The KS2 carol service will take place in ‘Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church’ on Tuesday 13th December at 6pm. Everyone is welcome and you will not need a ticket to attend.
We hope you enjoy our performances and look forward to seeing you there.
A collection for charity will take place at the end of the production.
Other Christmas events:
Wednesday 7th December – Nursery Christmas performance 2.30pm
Thursday 8th December – PTA Christmas Disco’s (KS1 5.30 – 6.30pm and KS2 7 – 8pm)

SPORTS HALL BRONZE MEDAL SUCCESS!!!!
Thu 24 Nov 2022A huge congratulations to the 9 boys and 9 girls from St Joseph's who competed today in the Sports Hall Athletics Area Finals held at Bridgwater College. Each of the children had to compete in two track relay events and two field events (standing long jump, standing triple jump, vertical jump, speed stepper, chest push and javelin). As you can imagine, assigning each child their best event was logistically challenging and to make make matters even more difficult, there were unfortunately 5 absentees due to illness! But this is a wonderful group of children at St Joseph's and even with a number of changes to events and new children being drafted in at the last minute, the team fought off competition from seven other schools and finished in a remarkable 3rd place, taking the bronze medal and only 2 points away from silver!! A TRULY MAGNIFICENT EFFORT TEAM - WELL DONE!!

GIRLS THRIVE IN FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT
Thu 03 Nov 2022Today a squad of 18 St Joseph girls travelled all the way to Bridgwater College to compete in the ESFA Regional competition. The St Joseph's squad of 18 were split into two equally sized teams of 9 and were pitted against representations from 14 other schools from around the area. There were four pools and the winners of each pool progressed to the semi finals and then possibly the final!
Both our St Joseph's teams were just amazing with many of the girls a year or two under age and playing against much older children! After some tough competition one of our teams finished an incredible second place in their pool with the other team managing to secure victory and move to a place in the semi finals! There were some great wins against Eastover, Willowdown, Otterhampton as well as draws against BCA and a second Eastover team!
In the semi final the girls put up a spirited display losing to an extremely strong St Joseph's team from Bridgwater who went on to win the overall competition! This meant a third place play off for our girls who secured a 0-0 draw against North Petherton leaving us with a third place medal overall!
Highlights of the day have to be seeing the girls play with such spirit, passion and determination. There was also a rather impressive hat trick from Emily in one of the games as well as some brilliant saves from both Daisy and Amelia. Unfortunately there are too many individual triumphs for me to write about; there was some great goal scoring on display, some magnificent passing between players and some brave tacking!
AMAZING EFFORT GIRLS - I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL OUR NEXT COMPETITION!!!!!!
