Our Sportshall Athletics team were in good form at the District event, where the children claimed Team silver medals. Everyone contributed to the team effort and had a great time at the competition. Amazingly, over half of the team were from Y4 and Y5, which made us even prouder of their performances!

I was extremely proud to have both the Y3/4 and Y5/6 Athletics teams in the County Finals today. They enjoyed a colourful and artistic opening ceremony with some inspirational words from Daniel Dixon- a rising star in British Triathlon.

The children proudly wore their orange South Tyneside t-shirts and put in lots of personal best performances in a high quality competition. With lots of Y3 and Y5 children involved, the future looks very bright!

Finally, it was wonderful to see how they were cheered on by lots of parents, who made the journey to Silksworth. Well done to everyone involved for making this a great event!

Thirty children from Y3/4 had a great time at the District Athletics Competition at Monkton Stadium. Everyone took part in a 400m run, long jump, howler throw and 50m sprint.

Despite the unseasonable conditions, our athletes put in some fantastic performances and should all be very proud of themselves. It was wonderful to see everyone encourage and cheer on their friends throughout the day. Well done Team St. Bede’s!

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.
