St Joseph’s, Bridgwater Sports News YEAR 5/6 SPORTSHALL ATHLETICS COUNTY FINALS After qualifying in 2nd place in the Sedgemoor Sportshall Athletics event in November our Year 5 and Year 6 athletes travelled to Richard Huish to take part in the County Finals. We competed against 7 other primary schools from the Sedgemoor and Taunton area in a variety of running, jumping and throwing events. With some great performances on both the track and the field, particularly from our final relay teams, we came a fantastic 2nd place in the County. Year 3 and Year 4 took part in their annual Sedgemoor Sportshall Athletics at Bridgwater College. This was the first school competition for a number of children and despite their nerves they performed brilliantly in all events. We came 6th out of 11 schools, however the great news is that we were 2nd overall out of the small schools! Football We have played a number of friendly matches against other schools this term. The highlight was our Year 3/4 footballers taking part in a Year 3/4 Futsal Tournament at Haygrove School. They played some excellent football with great passing and defending skills. It was lovely to see such good sportsmanship and teamwork on show. They won 3 out of their 4 matches winning 40, 2-0 and 1-0 and losing 0-1. These results made them joint top of their group but overall winners on goal difference thus earning them well deserved gold medals. Tag Rugby Our Year 6 children took part in a Tag Rugby tournament at Brymore School. Due to the wet weather we hadn’t had time to practice so we turned up willing to give it a go and do our best…..and remember to pass the ball backwards! As the tournament went on we gained confidence and a greater understanding of the game. We played as a team with some excellent runs with the ball and really strong defending. We won 3 out of 4 games and came a fantastic 2nd place overall. Key Step Gymnastics Our gymnasts from Years 2/3/4 took part in their Key Step Gymnastics Competitions. First up were our Year 2 children. They have been working hard during lessons to practice and refine their routine which included rolls, balances and jumps. They performed brilliantly in a very close competition and came first overall! Next up were our Year 3/4 children who gained silver medals after performing their set floor routines.
