What a start to the year our sporting teams have had! Lots of children throughout the school taking part in interschool festivals and tournaments. Here are a few of our sporting days out.
Swimming
Our Year 5/6 swimming team recently took part in the South Tyneside Schools’ Swimming Competition against many schools from across the borough.
The pupils participated in both individual and group events; they won a plethora of medals and their cumulative points resulted in them winning Gold in the team event! What shone out was their fantastic teamwork and their positive attitude towards others.
This fantastic team will now go on to the South of Tyne Finals in March. Good luck Swim Team!
Netball
14 pupils from the Y5/6 netball team competed in the South Tyneside Schools’ Netball Competition. This was the first outing for our netball teams this year and they didn’t fail to bring their A-game. For many, this was the first time playing against other schools and there were a few nervous (but excited) players at the start. They soon found their confidence and skilful footwork, spectacular goals and a lot of giggles and smiles followed.
Pupils impressed with both their skill and sportsmanship and we are hopeful to have several ‘friendly’ matches before the season ends with other local schools.
A big thank you to Miss Bone and our coach Mrs Sparks, for their time and enthusiasm for their weekly sessions and commitment to the players.
Spring Term 2 looks a busy one!
We will be participating in our first ten-pin bowling competition, swimming finals, football cup tournaments, hockey tournaments, some of our reception children will be taking part in a gymnastic festival at The Urban Factory and a heavy end to the season for all four football teams.
In school Durham Cricket will be continuing their sessions with Years 2 and 3 and Boldon Lawn Tennis will be starting their tution sessions which will continue throughout the summer with a number of year groups.
Keep an eye out for updates from our very active pupils.
