The St. Bede’s Tenpin bowling team were in top form at the Riverside in Sunderland today, as they bowled over the opposition to become District Champions! Fifteen teams represented their schools in the finals, but it was the St. Bede’s team who proved to be the most consistent. Amazingly,  four of our squad made the Panathlon 100 points club and collected additional awards! The children had a wonderful time with their friends and showed of a lot of ability and concentration to take the overall title. Well played everyone, I was really proud of you all!

Our Y1/2 Gymnastics squad had a great day at the District finals at the Urban Factory. The A team came a highly creditable 5th in a remarkably tight competition containing 21 teams; where the top five teams were separated by just 0.4 of a point!

I was very proud of the children who trained superbly for the event and then showed great courage and composure to perform so well in front of the four judges.

It was wonderful to see the team spirit among our children as they really supported each other. Meanwhile, all of our pupils enjoyed exploring a variety of gymnastic and parkour activities at the event.

Thank you to our fantastic parent helpers who really encouraged our children today. Thank you also to the parents who practised the routine with their children at home – they all did us so proud today!
