Gymnastic Performances Rewarded With Medals!
Thu 20 Apr 2023Since we returned from the Christmas break, a gymnastic opportunity has been offered to all children from Year 2-6 through either an after school club or in a small group working alongside a gymnastic specialist. All the children who participated ended the sessions with a final intra school competition against one another! In recognition of all their hard work attending the club, as well as having the confidence to compete in front of an audience, the children were rewarded with a shiny, gold medal! In total 73 pupils participated in this brilliant experience and should be very proud of their achievements with may of them being selected to compete against other schools in the Sedgemoor Area Competition.

Fri 24 Mar 2023Over the past few weeks, 36 children from Year 5 and 6 children have been attending a school Gymnastics club run by Mrs Bax (Gymnastics specialist). The children have been competing against each other in groups of 12 in an effort to make a small squad of 8 that will represent the school in the Area Championships.

Gymnasts Medal in Area Finals!
Wed 22 Mar 2023It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with our Year 2 and Year 3-4 teams of gymnasts who competed today in the Sedgemoor Area Finals held at St Joseph's School in Bridgwater.The team had been selected after an intra school competition a few weeks ago.
The event always attracts a large number of schools and this year was no different. There were in excess of 60 children from around the area competing in each competition and once again the children of St Joseph's did not disappoint.
The Year 3-4 team finished in a magnificent 2nd position with Issabella adding to her team medal with an individual bronze!
The Year 2 team were also amazing capturing a team bronze medal which is incredible considering this is their first inter school opportunity!!
I was amazed by the quality of gymnastics on display and also at how well the children coped with the pressure of performing in front of a large audience.
A TRULEY BRILLIANT EFFORT FROM ALL OF YOU AND I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR'S AFTER SCHOOL CLUB AND COMPETITION.

Year 5 Children Blossom In Tag Rugby Tournament
Fri 17 Mar 2023Braving the wind and rain , a group of ten Year 5 children travelled all the way to North Petherton Rugby Club to compete in a local Tag Rugby Festival. With very little experience of the sport and playing against some teams who live and breathe rugby the children performed brilliantly and undoubtedly grew in confidence and expertise as the competition progressed. It was great to hear about such passion, determination and resilience on display throughout the afternoon. Well done all of you, you should be very proud of yourselves.
