On Friday 21st October 19 pupils from KS2 competed at Temple Park Leisure Centre in the South Tyneside Sportshall Athletics Finals.
Each child completed in sprints, hurdles, jumping, agility and throwing events earning points for each of their performances. This combines for a team total.
All of our children, wearing our beautiful new kits, in our school colours (green and gold) performed fantastically.
We finished 3rd overall (only 8 points behind the runners-up. Which considering up until a month ago none of the children had ever tried, never mind competed in such events is a tremendous feat.
Outstanding 1st place results include:
1 Lap race: Bruno Neto and Kieron Jerry
Vertical Jump: Bakhtawar Hayer and Ashton Defty
Hi Stepper: Charlie Bates and Kai Muir
Speed Bounce Kai Muir and Aston Hall
Javelin: Ikpreet Kaur and Kara Carter
Target Throw: Carlie Pedley and Ikpreet Kaur
Balance Test: Maddison Fontaine and Abbie Saunders
Top performer was Kai Muir whose tremendous focus, willingness to succeed and take advice as to how to improve has seen his talent soar.
I am so proud of all of you. Well done! Hard work pays off…
