• Swimming Team Finish 4th Place in Sedgemoor Area Finals

  Tue 06 Feb 2018 Mr Fisher
  The children of St Joseph's were at it again this afternoon as a team of 20 boys and girls from Years 5 and 6 competed in the Sedgemoor Area Swimming Finals. Having won our preliminary round earlier this term, the children were placed against other winning teams from in and around the Sedgemoor area (there were 6 schools in total). The competition itself was extremely competitive with many of the children either 'County' swimmers or 'Club Academy' swimmers from Bridgwater Swimming Club or Taunton Dean Swimming Club. A 4th place finish was a magnificent result for the children of St Joseph's and they should all be very proud of themselves. They were simply quite magnificent and rounded off an extremely successful half term of sport and competition for the school.

  

• Sports Hall Athletics Team Finish 2nd Place in County Finals

  Thu 01 Feb 2018 Mr Fisher
  A huge well done to the 9 boys and 9 girls who competed in the County Sports Hall Athletics School Games Finals held at Richard Huish College on Tuesday. The children were fantastic, running, jumping and throwing their way to success! The level of effort and determination displayed by every member of the team was just incredible. St Joseph's is not the biggest school in the County and to finish second in a County final with a school the size of ours is almost unbelievable. Well done to everyone who was part of this team - You were all amazing!!!

  

• Donation of money raised from KS1 and KS2 Christmas Performances

  Wed 31 Jan 2018

  The collections made at the KS1 Christmas Nativity and the KS2 Carol Concert raised an amazing £300. We decided this year to donate the money to help refurbish the school/games room on 'Oak Ward' which is part of the children's unit at Musgrove Park Hospital. This is a charity close to the heart of Mel Bax, our gymnastics teacher, whose son Joe was cared for there.

  Thank you all for your kind donations.

  

• Swimming Gala Success

  Mon 22 Jan 2018 Mr Fisher

  A huge well done to the 18 girls and boys from Year 5 and 6 who represented the school in a local swimming gala. The children were magnificent as they competed against primary schools from Wembdon, Brent Knoll and Wollavington. The children swam with effort, determination and the team spirit was electrifying. Although there were many individual successes, the team finished the competition as outright winners. Well done to everyone who took part.

  

• St Joseph's Host Year 3/4 Girls' Football Festival

  Thu 18 Jan 2018 Mr Fisher
  This afternoon St Joseph's was host to an area football festival for Year 3/4 Girls from many of the local surrounding schools. We were joined by players from Churchfield, St Andrew's and Berrow. The Girls started with a simple warm up that involved plenty of dribbling and stretching before they moved onto some simple ball mastery. For the second half of the session the girls were grouped into four small teams and we played a fast moving carousel of matches. Great fun was had by all, including the teachers!

• Sports Hall Athletics Team Crowned Area Champions

  Thu 30 Nov 2017 Mr Fisher
  Well, what can I say? Today a squad of 18 children (9 girls and 9 boys) travelled to Bridgwater College to participate in the Sports Hall Athletics Area Finals. Competing against 18 other schools from around the Sedgemoor area, the team of girls and boys from St Joseph's ran, jumped and threw their way to the top! With every single member of the team competing in 4 events (two track and two field) there were of course some extraordinary individual performances. But today was more about the team performance. Times and distances from all the events were accumulated to give an overall team score. With a remarkable tally of over 1,300 points, St Joseph's were crowned area champions and will hopefully look forward to a place in the County Finals. Well done everyone concerned - you were amazing!
