This morning our Year 5/6 gymnastics team took part in the South Tyneside gymnastics competition at the Urban Factory in Hebburn.

They performed a routine in front of the judges (which was very nerve wracking).

They also got a chance to use some of the facilities, which was great fun. Everyone tried really hard and I am super proud of all the children.

Our A Team finished in silver medal position and the B Team in 14th.

DODGEBALL NATIONAL FINALS 2023

Today our tremendous ten dodgeballers competed in the National Finals in Stoke. They played tremendously well to reach this stage of the competition for the second consecutive time. We were in Group 3 and won 2 of our matches to advance to the Quarter Finals (final 8 teams in Great Britain)!

Here unfortunately we came up against a very tactically astute Cloverlea team who beat us 9-3.

Congratulations to the team and all of their time and effort since September when the very first rounds of the event began.

A special thanks to those Year 6 pupils whose last event in the Stanhope colours was a big one – you will be missed.
