Athletics with years 5 and 6. Pupils participated in various races against two other schools coming third. They participated in relay races, side stepping races, long jump competitions and sprint races.

Five year 3 and two year 4 girls competed in a cross country competition at Marple Hall high school. Majority of the girls love to run but have never competed in a cross country race before. All girls gave 100% and finished the huge lap of Marple Hall fields, racing with over 60 girls from other schools, the majority of whom were in year 4. One year 3 girl came 13th overall. Everyone had a great time and all girls said they would like to participate in more cross country events in the future.

Cross Country

We had a year 5 and year 6 team in the netball competition which consisted of seven teams overall.

Everybody played great and we could see the improvements each child is making in netball from their PE lessons and after school club with Mrs Brown.

The year 6 team came second and only missed out on first place from one point!

5 & 6 Netball

We had 6 pupils, three year 2 and three year 1 pupils attend the SEND multi skills competition hosted by ourselves.

All pupils enjoyed all the wide range of activities which included throwing a bean bag into three targets, long range and side jumping, balancing and travelling whilst keeping a balloon in the air.

All pupils enjoyed competing alongside other schools.

SEND Multi Sports

Eight year 6 pupils participated in a basketball competition yesterday. The competition was held at Reddish Vale High School and the team showed great team-work and each player played a significant role in coming 2nd place out of 7 teams and reaching the finals event on the 8th of February.

Year 6 Basketball

Eight (four boys and four girls) year 6 pupils participated in the rugby finals competition. They qualified to the finals by coming 3rd in a previous rugby tournament. The same pupils attended the finals and had learnt a lot from previous rugby tournament competition, because all 8 pupils played fantastic and reached the final, after 6 games, (winning two, losing one and drawing three). Unfortunately St Josephs lost the final 2-0 in a tight match. 2nd place is a great achievement as St Josephs only had two players who had played rugby out of school time before.
