• SWIM TEAM SUCCESS

  Mon 20 Jun 2022 Mr Fisher

  A huge well done to the 16 Year 5/6 children who represented St Joseph's in the Sedgemoor Area Swimming Gala held at Chilton Trinity (1610) Sports Club today. The team finished a very credible third place against strong opposition from Never Stowey, St Mary's, Kingsmoor, Eastover and Enmore. It was great to see such a wide range of swimming talent on display from all the older children at St Joseph's. Well done everyone!

• A MASSIVE THANK YOU

  Fri 17 Jun 2022

  You may have noticed that we have some beautiful planted pots dotted around the School Entrance, Playground and in the Nursery Garden.

   

  We were lucky enough to receive an amazing donation of flowering plants from Unity Farm and Stephen Cooper kindly donated some bags of compost for us to use.

   

  Miss Cooper got her 'green fingers' to work at the weekend and created a floral masterpiece to rival Kew Gardens.

   

  We hope you all enjoy them as much as we do

  

• YEAR 3/4 TENNIS SUPERSTARS

  Tue 14 Jun 2022 Mr Fisher

  Today, a team of 24 children from St Joseph's travelled down the road to the 'Avenue Tennis Club' to compete in a tennis tournament against a number of other schools from around the area. The children from St Joseph's have been attending an after school club over the past few weeks and this was a great opportunity to put into practice all the different skills they have been taught!

  The competition was quite simple! Teams were split into two separate pools with individuals playing 5 matches each and points being accumulated. At the end of the tournament, the top teams from each pool contested the final and I'm happy to say that on this occasion BOTH came from St Joseph's!!

  Throughout the competition the children played with real passion and determination and it was lovely to see such good cooperation and sportsmanship on display in every game I was able to watch. A huge well done to everyone that took part in this competition - You were all brilliant!

• INFANT AND JUNIOR GYMNASTICS TEAMS PERFORM BRILLIANTLY AT COUNTY FINALS

  Tue 05 Apr 2022 Mr Fisher

  Today a team of children from Year 2 and Year 5 travelled all the way to Yeovil to represent the school and Sedgemoor area in the 'County Gymnastics Finals'.

  Working as a team of six, each child had to complete a movement based routine as well as a series of vaults. They were scored by a panel of judges and the points were accumulated to give an overall team total. Both our teams were just amazing and rose to the occasion! Although we did not finish in the top three positions, it was clear to see that there was not much between performances in both the age group competitions. ALL of the children should be very proud of their efforts ..........you were a pleasure to watch. 

  

• Year 5 Gymnasts Finish 2nd In Area Competition

  Fri 11 Mar 2022 Mr Fisher

  A huge well done to the team of eleven Year 5 gymnasts who travelled all the way to Bridgwater on Wednesday to compete in the 'Key Steps' Area Gymnastics Competition. Each member of the team had to complete a fairly difficult movement routine where they were scored against 5 other schools from the surrounding area. The scores were then added up and positions assigned!! The team should be extremely proud of themselves. They finished the overall competition in second place; a brilliant result and a true reflection of all their hard work. The result is even more impressive as the whole team are a year young and have another opportunity next year!  GO TEAM ST JOSEPH'S!!!!!

  World Book Day - 2022

   

  In celebration of World Book Day this year our Nursery children dressed up as their favourite book characters. 

  The School had a theme of 'bedtime stories' so all of the children came to school in nightwear and enjoyed a hot chocolate treat!

  We were also lucky enough to have a visit from Story Teller, Mr Cadwallader, who conducted a fun book themed workshop with every class! 

   

   

  

• Year 2 Gymnasts Compete In Area Competition

  Wed 02 Mar 2022 Mr Fisher

  A huge well done to the Year 2 Gymnasts from St Joseph's who travelled all the way to Bridgwater today to compete in the Sedgemoor Area Gymnastics Finals! The children were magnificent as they performed a short sequence of movement followed by a simple vault activity along a bench. Both the activities were scored and the team totals will be added together and sent back to the school in the next few days. The top two teams in the area will be selected to compete in the County competition next month which is being held in Yeovil..........fingers crossed for the St Joseph's team!!

  

• Huge Numbers Compete For St Joseph's In Final Area Cross Country

  Mon 14 Feb 2022 Mr Fisher

  Last week saw the final Area Cross Country of the year held at The King Alfred School in Burnham-on-Sea. A local venue gave many children from St Joseph's another opportunity to compete against children from all over the Sedgemoor Area and I have to say I was quite simply amazed with the uptake! We had in total 68 children from our Key Stage 2 classes (that's over 50%) and the children were just magnificent! The course was flat, but long and all of the children raced extremely hard and with real determination! This was a great St Joseph's team effort with everyone that competed earning points for the St Joseph's team total. After the first couple of races the school was sitting in 4th place but after such a huge combined effort .....who knows where we will finish in the final standings. One thing is for sure, the children should be really proud of their efforts last week......JUST BRILLIANT!!!
