The children thoroughly enjoyed discovering how to use navigational techniques to find geocaches and orientate themselves from the coach house to the play park!
Basketballers at New Arena!
The basketballers enjoyed their unique experience of playing at the new Eagles Community Arena in Newcastle on Friday night. We dominated our semi-final after playing some wonderful team basketball against a resolute Holy Trinity. Our opening basket involved a fluent passing move that involved the whole team. Unfortunately we couldn’t add to our slender lead, despite countless shots and near misses which bounced agonisingly around the rim of the basket.
Dramatically, against the run of play the opposition showed great spirit to salvage a draw with a last gasp equaliser. Holy Trinity’s good fortune held up in the penalties, as they put us out from the free throw line.
Nevertheless, I was delighted with the team’s wonderful performance in Newcastle. They gave a wonderful account of themselves, despite ‘lady luck’ deserting us. The team showed a lot of good sportsmanship to immediately praise Holy Trinity for their efforts, and wish them luck for the final. Thank you to all of the families who supported our children in Newcastle.
County Sportshall Athletics Finals!
After achieving District success in November, St. Bede’s represented South Tyneside for the fourth consecutive year in the Sportshall Athletics County Finals today. Despite having a squad made up of Y4 and Y5’s, the children showed incredible character and produced many determined performances. They valiantly encouraged and cheered for each other, displaying wonderful togetherness throughout.
Miss Moffett and I were very proud of everyone’s contribution to the team. Thank you to the parents who supported our children at the event.
Basketballers Heading to Grand Final in New Arena!
The 3 basketball teams from St. Bede’s thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the South Tyneside Hoops4Health tournament at Temple Park. They all performed superbly on the day, with two of our sides making the Play-offs. The A team prevailed, and they will now play in the Grand Final at the brand new Eagles Community Arena, in Newcastle next Friday.
Good luck to Saul Connor (Captain), Layla Dowson (Vice-Captain), Mahad Uzair, Katy Longstaff, Jack Murphy, Holly Gaunt and Ryley Wardale.
Super Skippers!
Our Y3 children enjoyed a visit from Skipping teacher Liz (Skipping School Ltd) on Wednesday. The children had a lot of fun trying a variety of individual and pairs skipping skills. The children’s behaviour was exemplary, while Liz was very impressed with their skills.
Hoops4Health Roadshow
The Newcastle Eagles Basketball team visited St. Bede’s to teach our Y5 about the benefits of healthy living, healthy eating and not smoking. The children also played some basketball and fun games, while meeting the star players who are currently near the top of the British Basketball League.
