• Cross Country Super Stars At It Again!

  Fri 12 Oct 2018 Mr Fisher
  Well, what more can I say other than a huge well done to all the children who travelled to North Petherton last week to compete in the first Cross Country of the season. The results show that out of the 401 children who ran, more than 30 came from St Joseph's! There were a total of 21 schools represented and I'm really excited to say that St Joseph's currently sit in 5th place with two events remaining - a magnificent effort from everyone who raced and scored us points. Roll on the next race!!!

• MacMillan Non School Uniform Day and Cake Sale

  Wed 03 Oct 2018

  Thank you all so much for your kind donations of cakes for the cake sale last Friday.

  We raised a fantastic £348 for MacMillan Cancer Support thanks to your generosity with both the cake sale and the Non School Uniform donations.

  The staff 'Bake Off' went well with 1st place going to Miss Kelly for her Bakewell Cake with a fruity jam filling, drizzle iced and topped with toasted almonds, 2nd place to Miss Bishop who made St Clements Cup Cakes topped with a Terry's Chocolate Orange Slice and 3rd was Angela's Carrot Cake with Walnut butter icing topped with chopped walnuts. The winners received a prestigious glitter and ribbon decorated wooden spoon.

  The Staff and Children enjoyed a cake filled day. Thank you once again, we could not have raised this amount without your help.

  MacMillan Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning 28th Sept 2018

   

  Dear Parents

  On Friday 28^th September we are planning to hold a Macmillan Cake Sale in support of the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning to raise money for the charity.

  We therefore would appreciate if anyone could bake or supply cakes to help raise money. The Children on this day will be able to wear their own clothes ‘with a dash of green-the MacMillan Colours’ for a contribution of £1 per family. Please take your £1 in cash to a class teacher. For this they will be given a cake each during the morning, then any cakes leftover will be available for parents to buy from 2.45 onwards. Consequently the more cakes we have the better!

  Cakes could be brought in on the Thursday or Friday morning and taken to the DT room.

  If you have any queries then please ask Mr Lawrence or at the office.

• Girls Football Team Triumph

  Tue 18 Sep 2018 Mr Fisher
  A huge well done to the Girls Football team who travelled all the way to Robert Blake Science College yesterday afternoon to compete in the first round of the ESFA football tournament. The nine girls selected from years 4 to 6 were absolutely magnificent, playing with maximum effort and determination throughout the competition. After four games, I'm pleased to say the St Joseph's girls finished the tournament as overall winners with two wins, one draw and just a single loss! A great start to the season and I am happy to say the girls will now progress to the Sedgemoor Area Finals in a few weeks......Just brilliant!

• Tai Chi takes over at St Joseph's

  Thu 28 Jun 2018 Mr Fisher

  With the hot weather really starting to take a grip of the country, today's Sports Week session was a little different! Each class was treated to a Tai Chi lesson, delivered by Lyn our instructor. The hall was near to silent all day as the children entered a calm and relaxed area and spent  half an hour relaxing and focussing on a range of peaceful, flowing movements.

  

• Sports Festival for Year 2 Children

  Thu 28 Jun 2018 Mr Fisher
  Today the children in Year 2 walked down to The King Alfred School to participate in a Sports Festival. The Festival itself was aimed at developing core skills such as running, jumping, balancing etc. in a fun environment and the children really enjoyed the activities that were managed by the Young Leaders at the school. It was great to see so many children enjoying themselves from schools all around the area.

  

• Golf Pro Visit

  Thu 28 Jun 2018 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.
