KS2 enjoyed a fabulous afternoon on Monday for sports day. They took part in plenty of team games in their house colours before watching or taking part in the individual races. It was a very close leaderboard, but the overall winner for KS2 was Emerald House – well done Emerald!
Last Thursday a group of year 4 and 5 girls represented our school in a football festival held at Castle View Enterprise Academy. We took part in football coaching drills followed by four matches, in which we won 3 games out of 4! The girls all played fantastic, had lots of fun, practised their football skills and behaved brilliantly. They even came up with a team celebration for each goal they scored!
Some of our year 5/6’s recently attended the South Tyneside Quadkids tournament at Monkton stadium. They were truly amazing! We’ve just got the results back and one if our teams has qualified for the regional finals. Well done everyone!
Year 5 went to Boldon Comp to compete in the annual rugby tournament. They showed fantastic teamwork, resilience and confidence in their matches. We are so proud how they represented the school and themselves. Our teams came 1st and 2nd!
Well done everyone!
Today Year 5 attended the annual Castle View Academy cricket tournament in beautiful sunshine. Having attended a few weeks after school training we came 4th out of 8 teams. Winning 3 of the 5 games played. Well played Yr5! 🏏☀️
KS2 children had a fantastic experience of an African dance workshop on Tuesday. It was a fun, engaging and memorable essential learning experience that allowed the children to have a broad understanding of cultural diversity.
The workshops were delivered by the fantastic Tunde Olasupo, who taught them some of the different traditional African dance moves native to this wonderfully vibrant and diverse culture.
On October 21st pupils were selected by Mr Houmark and John from Westoe RFC to attend the annual Boldon School rugby festival.
Games were played in a groups system with the Year 5’s taking on East Boldon, Hedworthfield and Forest View. They won all three to top the group.
It was fantastic to see the skills taught in Friday PE sessions pay off in proper tag games.
During October the Year 5/6 Football side got back up and running. They’ve played three matches in the Newton League held at Boldon School. Coached this year by Mr Houmark and Miss Fraser.
A squad of 14 children were selected to attend the training group which has recently finished for the winter but will return in February time.
We are very lucky to have John from Westoe Rugby Club come to our school on a weekly basis to work with the children in their PE lessons. Last half term, it was Year 5’s turn to receive his expert coaching!
On Tuesday 21st September, all children from Years 1-6 came to school in their sports clothes to recognise National Fitness Day. We were especially lucky to have an excellent personal trainer volunteer their time to come in and compete a short session with every year group.
During their PT session, the children had to rotate around 4 different exercise stations around the hall where they had to complete different exercises such as star jumps, sit ups, ladder runs and hurdles – all activities designed to get the blood pumping!
Take a look at the fun we had!
