Y6 Girls Football Tournament at Rednock on Wednesday 27th November 2024

I had great pleasure in taking Orla, Hannah, Charlotte, Tansy, Megan, Isla H, Grace and Alice to this event. The weather was cold but bright.  Each match consisted of 7 players; the girls were very good in taking turns to sit out.   Isla, Alice and Hannah all had a game in goal and made some brilliant saves.  The team played 3 games: first against Berkeley which St Joseph's won 2 - 0, second match against Lakefield where we lost 1 -0 but we had some great shots saved and lots of attacking play, final game against Woodfields was a draw 1-1.  Overall St Joseph's came 4th out of 8 teams.  The girls showed great sportsmanship and brilliant teamwork.  Thank you to Mrs Wright who coached the team on the day.  Fun and enjoyable event all round.

Colour Run!
Some of our fabulous children ran in the colour run at another school. They were awarded with a medal for participating and finished being very colourful!
Look Who's Talking!
 
At St Joseph's, the children participated in the annual 'Look Who's Talking' event. The children were set the oracy task of talking for two minutes, on a subject of their choice, and present it to the rest of the children in their class. We were blown away by the children's confidence with this, and the children performed so well that we even managed to have our very own finalist! I would like to say a huge congratulations to Teddy, who managed to talk his way to the finals and presented his speech to a much larger audience at Gloucester Guildhall. There were even REAL judges! Well done Teddy!

Gloucestershire Photo competition

In March, The Cheltenham Camera Club invited all Gloucestershire county schools to take part in their annual photo contest. The children at St. Joseph's submitted amazing photos with many different themes, but the most popular was beauty found in the natural world. Please see below.

Sixteen children from St. Joseph's entered the contest and six of the children's photos were included in an AV presentation at the awards ceremony. Harriet received a special commendation for her photo of Lydstep Caverns. Harriet was presented with her award by the Mayor of Cheltenham and representatives of the Cheltenham Arts Council and Cheltenham Roundtable.
