• GOLD FOR ST JOSEPH'S

  Thu 18 Jul 2019 Mr Fisher

• Tennis Superstars are 7th Best in the County!

  Mon 08 Jul 2019 Mr Fisher
  A huge well done to the Year 3/4  tennis team who travelled to Millfield on Friday to compete in the Somerset School Games Tennis Finals. Representing both our school and the Sedgemoor Area, the team which is made up of two girls and two boys competed against the best tennis players in the County! Playing a total of 20 games between them, the children were hugely successful winning 13, drawing one and losing just 6 games over the course of the day. With many of the School Games values on display, the team should be really proud of what they have achieved. To be crowned the 7th best school at tennis in Somerset is just brilliant when you consider there are over 400 schools across the County! Well done all four of you!!   

  

• Monday 8th July - Non School Uniform Day

  Mon 08 Jul 2019
  On Monday 8th July there will be a Non-School Uniform Day. The idea is that the children wear their own clothes to school in return for bringing in a full bottle for the Friends of St Joseph's Fete Bottle Stall, which is on Friday 12th July from 3-5pm. Support for this would be very much appreciated. Just a reminder that raffle tickets have now gone out to all families and tokens (which can be used at the fete instead of cash) are being sold in the playground at the start and end of the day until the Fete.

• Sports Day 2019

  Fri 28 Jun 2019 Mr Fisher
  Well, the weather was kind to us and the children seemed to enjoy themselves. The flat races were fast and the relay races competitive. The afternoon's activities gave the children a chance to show off their agility, throwing and ball juggling skills! Well done to everyone who took part and a huge well done to the red team (St Luke) who were this years winners.

  

• Whole School Skipping

  Thu 27 Jun 2019 Mr Fisher
  Today each class took part in an energetic skipping workshop lead by a London based coach Jamie Pettitt. Jamie travelled down from our capital city to spend the day at St Joseph's working with each class and teaching the children the fundamentals of skipping. With great weather throughout the day, our playground became a constant hive of energy and excitement! As a reward for all their hard work, the children were given their own skipping ropes to keep in school and use at break times or lunch times - a perfect way to encourage healthy activity!   

  

• Golf Pro Visit

  Thu 27 Jun 2019 Mr Fisher
  Today the classes were put through their paces by Golf Pro Shane Kaye who is a registered professional golfer based at Berrow Golf Club. Shane spent time working with each class throughout the day providing and supporting the children on a range of golfing activities from chipping to putting! The children and teachers thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

  

• Sports Week kicks off with Cricket!

  Mon 24 Jun 2019 Mr Fisher
  Today the children received a brilliant cricket coaching session with Andrew Skidmore who is Somerset's lead Community Coach and also a key member of the Nationally recognised 'Chance to Shine' scheme. It was great to see the classes having so much fun! The pictures show some of the children in Mr Fisher's class in action!

  

• Athletics Team Finish Second In Sedgemoor Area Sports!

  Mon 17 Jun 2019 Mr Fisher
  Today a team of 8 boys and 8 girls from Years 4,5 and 6 travelled all the way to Brymore School, Cannington to compete in the Sedgemore Area Sports. With the competition comprising of 11 schools, many of which are over two or three times the size of ours, the task ahead of us was going to be a challenge! Needless the say, in true St Joseph's spirit, the team of competing athletes representing our school was once again absolutely brilliant! Battling through both heats and finals of 70m hurdles and 70m sprints as well as 200m and 400m challenges the children competed with passion and determination. The end relays capped off a remarkable day of competition with our Year 6 Boys blasting to victory in one of the final races of the day. An incredible start to the week with the St Joseph's superstars finishing in second place overall in the track element of the competition! Well done to all concerned....You were magnificent!!!!  

  

• St Joseph's Gymnasts Perform in County Finals

  Mon 03 Jun 2019 Mr Fisher

  Another trip to Yeovil, another remarkable team performance! Well done to our Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 Gymnasts who travelled to Yeovil just before Half Term to represent both the school and area in the Somerset School Games County Finals. Finishing the competition in 4th place, the children had to perform a rather complex routine, along with a series of testing vaults. As if that wasn't nerve racking enough, their performances were delivered in front of a rather large audience and scored by an official panel of judges! 4th place is great result and considering some of the team still have another year in their age groups, the future and quality of gymnastics at St Joseph's continues to look rosy! Well done to all concerned – You were just brilliant!
