• Year 1 Sports Festival A Roaring Success

  Wed 18 Apr 2018 Mr Fisher

  Today 32 Year 1 children from St Joseph's walked their way down to The King Alfred School in the glorious sunshine for an exciting morning of sporting activity. On arrival we met with our federated school Corpus Christi and nearby local school Churchfield who had also brought along all of their Year 1 children to participate in a range of athletic events run by the young leaders from the secondary school. With a pirate theme, the different events on offer were aimed at developing fundamental skills such as running, jumping, balancing, throwing etc. and the children were mixed into groups so that they were given the opportunity to work with children from other schools. The morning was just brilliant and all the children seemed to really enjoy the experience (although the walk back to school with so many tired legs was a little challenging). Behaviour was excellent as always and it was great to see so many smiling faces. I look forward to the Reception and Year 2 events which will be running later in the summer term.

   

  Photos of the morning will follow later this week.

  

• Year 4/5 Swimmers Finish Second

  Wed 18 Apr 2018 Mr Fisher
  A huge well done to the 14 boys and girls in Years 4 and 5 who represented the school on Monday afternoon in the Burnham Swimming Gala with a special mention going out to Mia, Phoebe and Emily who were all swimming up a year! A hugely competitive contest saw us pipped for first place by just 14 points! With 8 school competing in this competition the children were remarkable and I must say the team spirit and encouragement on display was just brilliant! I look forward to the next gala on Friday where the Year 3 and Year 6 children will get to swim! Well done team St Joseph's!

• 3rd Place Finish For Year 5/6 Gymnasts

  Thu 12 Apr 2018 Mr Fisher
  In an extremely competitive area competition our Year 5/6 Gymnasts pulled off a magnificent 3rd place finish. This is the first time St Joseph's has entered the Year 5/6 Sedgemoor competition and judging by the quality of performance executed by the children I am really looking forward to next year! The children were scored on a routine that they had put together and refined themselves (a difficult task in itself). They were absolutely amazing and everyone who was involved in this experience can hold their heads high. All your hard work did not go unnoticed...Well done.  

• St Joseph's Embrace Final Cross Country of the Season

  Thu 22 Mar 2018 Mr Fisher

  A huge turn-out of more than 45 children from Key Stage 2 meant that St Joseph's was once again a force to be reckoned with in the last and final cross country meeting of the year! With children taking part of all abilities it was great to see the level of effort, determination and spirit displayed by everyone running. We of course had some medallists but just to reiterate, this competition is all about the team and everyone who participates earns us points. As a teacher I couldn't have been happier. Well done to everyone who raced........truly amazing!!!!

• Key Stage 2 Gymnasts Make County Finals

  Thu 22 Mar 2018 Mr Fisher
  A huge well done to the Year 3/4 gymnastics team who recently competed in the Sedgemoor area finals. A fantastic team display saw the team of six boys and girls conquer all and win the overall competition. As a result of this brilliant performance, the team will now represent both the area and the school in the prestigious County Finals due to take place at the end of April in Yeovil. We wish them all the best and look forward to hearing about their progress.

• Futsal team finish 3rd in Area Finals

  Wed 14 Mar 2018 Mr Fisher
  Well, what can I say? After a rather heavy defeat in their opening game of this competition, the Year 4/5 Futsal team showed real spirit and determination to finish 3rd. The remaining three games saw them victorious against St Mary's (4-2), Eastover (2-1) and a 2-2 draw against Somerset Bridge. A great performance from all the team!

  

• Key Stage 1 Gymnasts Finish 3rd in Area Finals

  Wed 14 Mar 2018 Mr Fisher
  A huge well done to our Key Stage 1 Gymnastics team who finished 3rd place in the Area Gymnastics competition held at St Joseph's, Bridgwater on Monday morning. The team were extremely brave performing a short routine that they were scored on by an official judge. All individual scores were then combined to give an overall team score placing us 3rd overall. A special mention must go to Nayla and Grace who were both awarded a top three finish for their individual performances in the competition. Well done to all the children that competed. The school is very proud of you.

• Cross Country Stars At It Again

  Tue 06 Mar 2018 Mr Fisher
  Around 25 Junior children from St Joseph's braved the elements once again in this months Cross Country held at Brymore school, Cannington.  The course is slightly more rural and adventurous than the usual football or rugby pitches that the children are use to running around. However, this did not seem to deter of effect any of the St Joseph performances. Another great team effort with every single athlete earning points for the team. There were of course a few individual medal winners (Kobe, Harriet and James) but the biggest mention must once again go to Team St Joseph's who are currently in second place behind Enmore with just one race left in the series! Well done to everyone who was part of this team.
