  Claire Carter attempted her biggest and toughest challenge yet for BBC Children in Need.

  The Great Wellington Walk saw Claire walk 75 miles in just 5 days wearing wellington boots!

  The walk started on the morning of Monday 13 November in Wellington - the town where Claire lives.

  She then walked15 miles in each district of the county and will be visiting schools along her route with Pudsey.

  On day 5 she arrived at Burnham on sea Tourist Information Centre where she was then continuing on to Bridgwater and Albion Rugby Football Club travelling through Highbridge, West Huntspill and Pawlett.

   

  The members of the Chapliancy team walked up to the seafront with Miss Bishop and Mrs Williams to support Claire and wave her onto the last leg of her journey.

• Nutty Noah Comes to St Joseph's

  Thu 16 Nov 2017 Mr Fisher
  Well, what can I say? Last Friday night saw St Joseph's school host an absolutely amazing performance delivered by Nationally recognised children's entertainer 'Nutty Noah'. Organised by the ever energetic 'Friends of St Joseph's' team, over 120 tickets were sold for this superb show! Children, parents and friends thoroughly enjoyed an evening of entertainment, fun and laughter. A huge thank you should once again go to the team that helped with the organisation of this event, with much of the money raised on this occasion going towards subsidising the school Cinema trips at Christmas. A special thank you to Mrs Green and the rest of the team - the children here at St Joseph's are very lucky to have such a dedicated team working tirelessly behind the scenes and raising money that benefits everyone.

  

• Year 3/4 Football Festival Success

  Thu 09 Nov 2017 Mr Fisher
  Today our school hosted a Year 3/4 football festival involving schools from St Joseph's, Churchfield, Berrow, St Andrew's, West Huntspill and East Huntspill. Rather than playing games for their school teams, the children were all mixed together and played a series of matches against one another. The attitude and effort on display was superb and all the children seemed to enjoy themselves.

• Primary Anti-Bullying Ambassadors - News from King Alfred's School

  Fri 13 Oct 2017 Nicki Rogers
  Over the last three weeks the Parent & Family Support Advisors (PFSAs)
  had a great time training our Year 6 Anti-Bullying Ambassadors in
  readiness for Anti-Bullying Week 13th - 17th November 2017. The PFSA
  Team are based here at King Alfred School, but work not only with King
  Alfred School students but also students from all the Primary and Junior
  schools.
  On Wednesday it was the turn of students from St. Andrew’s and St.
  Joseph’s Schools. The students mixed very well and engaged
  fantastically with the training. Students were chosen to take part having
  completed an application. There will be a Celebration/Awards Evening at
  King Alfred School on 8th November 2017 for the 60 Anti-Bullying
  Ambassadors.
  Thank you to staff at all the Junior Schools for helping the team to
  co-ordinate the event and Gail Maxwell-Grange and Declan Shortall for
  organising the sessions. We’re very proud of the whole group and their
  commitment to tackling bullying in our community.

• Boys unbeaten in ESFA tournament

  Thu 12 Oct 2017 Mr Fisher
  The boys football team produced a spirited display this week as they travelled to Bridgwater and competed in the opening round of the prestigious ESFA tournament. Despite not losing a single game, unfortunately two draws against North Petherton and Churchfield were not enough to take them through to the next round. A super effort from all concerned - Well done lads.

• Girls Football Thriving at St Joseph's

  Mon 02 Oct 2017 Mr Fisher

  With nearly 20 Key Stage 2 Girls attending after school football on a Thursday night, the future looks really rosy for the girls football team here at St Joseph's. The standard of football being played is undoubtedly improving and the girls always have smiles on their faces. Maybe the next England hopeful will come from St Joseph's! Keep up the great work girls - you are all amazing.

  

• Cross Country Success

  Mon 02 Oct 2017 Mr Fisher
  On a cold, wet and miserable evening last week, 35 children from St Joseph's travelled all the way to North Petherton Rugby Club to participate in the first Sedgemoor area cross country of the year. With representatives from Year 3 all the way up to Year 6 our 35 strong team was undoubtedly one of the highest school attendances at the event! With every runner accumulating points for the school, it's all about participation and being part of the team. There were of course medal winners coming from St Joseph's (a special well done to Finley, Isla, Harriet, Mercina and James who picked up individual honours) but more importantly a MASSIVE well done to the St Joseph's team effort and EVERYONE who ran. We currently stand 2nd in the league table out of the 20+ schools who competed. You were all magnificent and I can't wait for the next race!

  

• Girls Football Team Win Final Game 4-0

  Mon 02 Oct 2017 Mr Fisher
  A huge well done to our girls football team who recently represented the school in the ESFA area tournament held at Robert Blake school in Bridgwater. The girls played some outstanding football with great camaraderie and team spirit and although we did not progress to the next stage of the competition, we were hugely successful in our final game against a strong Kingmoor team who were unbeaten as we went on to win 4-0. A great way to sign off a hugely successful evening of football - Well done girls!
