• Sport Week 2017 - Golf and Rugby Success

  Tue 13 Jun 2017
  On Monday of this week we had a visit from a Golf coach (Shane Kaye) who is the professional golfer at Berrow Golf Club. He came into school as part of our Sports Week and spent time working with all the classes and introducing them to the sport.
  
  Tuesday saw a visit from Chris Spinks, a Rugby coach at Burnham-on-Sea Rugby club. Once again Chris worked with all the classes as he introduced them to rugby. I'm sure you'll agree the children in Year 1/2 look like they're having lots of fun learning how to play this sport!

• Lunch Time Leaders Ready For Action!

  Thu 11 May 2017
  A team of twenty Year 5 and 6 children attended a 'Lunch Time Leader' training session this week run by School Games Coordinator Nancy Murdock. Having seen posters scattered around the school detailing the description of the job, the enthusiastic boys and girls had to fill in an application form explaining why they thought they would be a good candidate. The responses were fantastic and as a result we now have a team of twenty children who are doing a sterling job ensuring the younger children in our school enjoy their lunch time break.

  

• ST JOSEPH'S GYMNASTS TRIUMPH IN SOMERSET SCHOOLS GAMES FINALS

  Thu 27 Apr 2017
  Today a team of 17 gymnasts from St Joseph's travelled all the way to Yeovil to compete in the Somerset School Games Gymnastics Finals. The Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 teams had earned the right to represent both the school and area in these finals having previously beaten off competition from all other local schools in the Sedgemoor area.
  
  The challenge of facing completion from the very best gymnast in the Mendip, Taunton and Yeovil area was rather daunting....however the children were just magnificent. Judged while executing two vaults and a rather difficult floor routine, the St Joseph super stars set to work with passion and determination and were faultless in my eyes. The Key Stage 1 teams finished in 6th and 3rd place, with our Key Stage 2 team finishing in 4th. They were a real credit to the school and I couldn't have been prouder! A special thank you to the parents who offered valuable support and also gave up their own time to transport the children there, it is much appreciated.

  

• ST JOSEPH'S FINISH 2ND IN LOCAL SWIMMING GALA

The team made up of a selection of boys and girls from Year 2 through to Year 6 competed in true magnificent fashion against representatives from Churchfields, Brent Knoll, Woolavington and St Andrew's. The team finished in 2nd place and can hold their heads really high after a super performance from every member....you never know we may see some of these children competing in the Olympics in years to come! WELL DONE TEAM.
