• St Joseph's trio represent Sedgemoor in the Country Cross Country Finals

  Thu 25 Apr 2019 Mr Fisher

  A huge well done to Phoebe, Harriet and Matilda who braved the wind and rain yesterday afternoon as they raced for Sedgemoor in the County Cross Country Finals held in Yeovil. The three girls, selected on merit after their previous performances in area races were just brilliant! The competition itself draws in the fastest children from all areas of the County (including many of the private schools such as Millfield). All three girls finished in the top third of their races and helped the Sedgemoor Area team place 3rd in both the Year 3/4  race as well as the Year 5/6  race. Fantastic running from all three of you....Well done!

  A huge well done to the 16 Junior children who recently competed in the Sedgemoor Area Swimming Gala held at Chilton Trinity Sports Centre in Bridgwater.

• Cross Country Superstars at it again!

  Fri 22 Mar 2019 Mr Fisher
  Once again St Joseph's was well represented in the latest Area Cross Country, the third and last in the series which was held at 'The King Alfred school' on Wednesday. With 20 children competing and many braving the sport for the first time, conditions were good for racing. Having watched each race, it was great to see so many smiling children as they passed me by at speed! A huge well done to everyone who participated - the school and Mr Fisher are very proud of you. 

• St Joseph's Gymnastics Superstars Compete in Area Finals

  Tue 19 Mar 2019 Mr Fisher
  On Friday last week three teams of gymnasts from Year 2 up to Year 6 competed in the Sedgemoor Area Finals. With the St Joseph's teams totaling around 50 children, the gymnasts were able to put into practise a routine they had learnt during the after school club they have  attended this term. The quality of gymnastics on display from all the children that attended was magnificent and I'm happy to say that the Year 2 team finished a brilliant second place with the Year 3/4 team and the Year 5/6 teams winning the competition and being selected to represent the Area in the prestigious County Finals later in the year. Well done to everyone who competed - you were just superb!

  

• World Book Day 2019

  Thu 07 Mar 2019 School Admin

  World Book Day 2019 took place on Thursday 7th March. This year we took a slightly different spin on the day and themed it 'Bedtime Stories' and came to school dressed in our pyjamas, onesies and dressing gowns! As part of the day we enjoyed a whole school assembly and quiz, secret stories, in-class activities and we shared stories with children from other Year Groups! We had a super day celebrating all things books!

  Our work from the day will be displayed at Tea@2 on Friday 29th March!

   

  

• Biathlon Success for St Joseph's

  Tue 05 Mar 2019 Mr Fisher

  On Sunday 3rd March twenty children from St Joseph's competed in the Sedgemoor Schools Biathlon Championships. This event has always been extremely popular with many local schools in the area and this year was no different with 198 children taking part!

  For St Joseph's this was the first time the school has actively promoted the competition with the children . Previous years have relied upon mentions in assembly and posters displayed around the school with only a few children choosing to participate. With the quality of swimmers we now have exceeding the required 25m mark set by the Government, accompanied with the fantastic cross country runners we have, it seemed an ideal opportunity to encourage the children to try something a little different in the form of a biathlon.

  Entry costs for the event were funded by the School Sports Premium funding and the numbers choosing to participate reflected the children's interest. Reports from Mrs Williams and Mr Lawrence who attended the event said that all twenty athletes from St Joseph's were a credit to the school and their parents. A special mention goes out to Matilda who finished 2nd in the Year 6 Girls category, Phoebe who was 2nd in the Year 4 Girls category and to Kobe (Year 5 Boys) and Matilda (Year 3 Girls) who both won their respective categories.

  A huge well done to everyone who took part and I look forward to next years competition.

  

• SPORTS HALL ATHLETICS TEAM WIN SILVER IN SOMERSET SCHOOL GAMES COUNTY FINALS

  Mon 25 Feb 2019 Mr Fisher
  An enormous well done to our Sports Hall Athletics team who travelled all the way to Court Field Secondary school in Wellington and finished runners up in the School Games County Finals. The team which is made up of 9 girls and 9 boys from Years 5 and 6 were just brilliant as they ran, jumped and threw their way to success! What a fantastic achievement to be crowned the second best indoor athletics team in the whole of Somerset - you made an old teacher very proud today! Well done everyone.
