• Football Match

  Thu 18 Nov 2021 The children in Year 6

  St Joseph’s football team took on Ripple Primary school on Thursday 18th November. Our team consisted of: Yemi, Joshua, Benedict, Jordan, Chichebem, Calvin, Rowen, Alex, Ruyi, Anthony, David and our goalie Rithvik.

   

  Calvin scored the first goal after an amazing cross from Rowen. Yemi then went on to score making it 2-0. The ball went back and forth before Rithvik saved a wonderful shot from Ripple. During the second half, our left wing, Joshua crossed the ball and David scored a tap in. The final goal was a powerful shot by our right winger Benedict making the final score 4-0!

  We cheered our opponents and shook hands with every player. A special thank you to Mr Campbell for being our coach and Mrs Wilson for organising our matches!

  Our KS1 children had an amazing time dancing and singing with their peers at the disco. The staff have been taught many dance moves and everyone was smiling from ear to ear. In between all the dancing, the children enjoyed a quick snack- it gave the teachers time to rest! 

  What a great disco!
