Sporting Triumph!

By A Ogilvie26th May 2016

Well done to our Y5/Y6 cricketers and netballers!

Our A team cricketers came first in a competition on Monday and will now go on to represent South Tyneside at the North of England Championships in July.

Our A and B team netballers played today in the final of the league. They have been competing weekly since Christmas and both qualified to play in the final tournament held today at Temple Park. The A team triumphantly won the league.

Well done to all our girls and boys who have competed this week. All these individuals, plus the other children on the team who were unable to play in the finals, work hard with their teachers on lunch times and after school to perfect their skills and tactics.

We are always very impressed by your achievements, but your behaviour, excellent sportsmanship and attitude when representing the school is second to none. Great work! (more…)

Great fun was had by all. The car, which reaches a top speed of 15 mph, came second in a slalom competition out of 20 cars.

Mr Smith and the children have dedicated many hours of work towards yesterday’s competition.

Well done to all! (more…)

Well done to Miss Anderson’s class who won the week 4 rapping fitness challenge last week. As part of this challenge they had to create and perform a rap while skipping – not an easy task!

Great dedication is being shown by all students and staff involved, only 2 weeks left so keep stepping.
