New KS1 Climbing Wall
Thu 28 Jun 2018There was amazement after the summer half term as the children returned back to school to find a brand new transverse climbing wall in their playground. The wall had been a long term ambition for the school. The wall will not only improve the enjoyment of ks1 children at play times but also improve fine & gross motor skills for all children who use it. The hand and footing are changeable meaning the paths can be adapted to suit different abilities. Over the past 2 weeks children from reception - year 2 have been attempting to complete the wall as fast as they can. Children will see the wall as a personal challenege and a milestone that it can be completed by the end of year 2. The children have beeen so excited and havn't stopped playing on it since.

Year 6 Basketball Team take bronze in Borough competition
Thu 03 May 2018Team SJP picked up another medal earlier in the week when the year 6 basketball team managed to get the bronze medal in the Kingston borough competition. The team made up of Melanie, Grace, Joel, Nicholas & Josh O played some excellent basketball throughout the competition and won 5 out of their 7 games they played. They finished runners up in Pool A after narrowly losing to Tolworth via a free throw shootout after the match ended 1-1. This set up a semi final match with OLI, neither team could find a way through which meant the dreaded shootout was to decide, unfortunately SJP lost their 2nd free throw shootout and went into the 3rd & 4th place play-off. St Joseph's beat Malden Parochial 2-1 in the play-off to gain the bronze medal. A great achievement and the children should feel very proud of themselves.

Year 5 Boys Football Plate Runners Up
Fri 27 Apr 2018St Joseph's entered both a year 5 girls & boys team into the prestigious Kew Association football competition. The competition which involves 30 schools across both Richmond & Kingston takes place every year with St Joseph's winning the Chalice back in 2015 - 2016. The standard was very strong this year and both the girls and the boys teams done very well. The girls team reached the 1/4 finals of the plate competition only to be narrowly beaten 1-0 by Sheen Mount. The boys made it all the way to the Plate final having narrowly beaten East Sheen on penalties in the semi-finals. This set up an all Kingston final as St Joseph's and Grand Avenue battled it out for the plate shield. The game was very evenly matched and neither team could find a way through so the game went to penalties. Both teams scored some excellent goals from the penalty spot making the scoreline 3-3. Unfortunately St Joseph's missed in sudden death allowing Grand Avenue to score and become Plate winners. Despite their disappointment the St Joseph's year 5 boys team held their heads up high and where delighted by their achievement of being runners up in the plate competition. A great effort from them all.
