South Tyneside Y5/6 Cricket Finals 2024

12th June 2024A Rogers

Well done to our Year 5/6 cricket team yesterday. It was a really tough competition and they were playing against some amazing cricketers. They didn’t manage a win but had a great experience and improved with each game. They picked up some tips from other players and they learned a lot. Well done to our year 4 students who stepped up to help as we had some players missing.

Big thanks to South Tyneside School Sport Network for organising and well done to East Boldon Junior School who were outstanding on the day and thoroughly deserved their win.

Northern Regional Dodgeball Finals 2024

6th June 2024A Rogers

NORTHERN REGIONAL DODGEBALL FINALS 2024

Today our 8 talented dodgeballers competed in Newton Aycliffe at the Regional Finals. Here 9 County winning teams, plus our B Team competed for a place in the National Finals.

We played very well and showed great skill and determination. Our many hours of practice paid off after we finished as superb silver medalists and therefore progress to the National Finals at Nottingham in July!

Our B Team finished in 6th place to just miss out on a top 5 result to qualify.

In Group A our A Team firstly played Cathwaite Primary B and scored a 10-0 win this was followed by another 10-0 win against St. Mary’s RC Academy. Then we faced two incredibly tough battles, winning 6-4 vs. Kingsley Primary, then another 6-4 success vs. Althorpe & Keadby Primary.

In Group B the B Team got off to a winning start with a 7-3 victory over West View Primary, this was followed by a 5-5 draw against the eventual winners Calthwaite Primary A Team. However, in their thrid game they were beaten 9-1 by Michael Syddall Primary, but bounced back to end their group matches with a 6-4 victory over Scawby Primary. Therefore the B Team were third in their group standings and would play off for 5th/6th position. Unfortunately they were to lose 8-2 vs Althorpe & Keadby Primary.

The A Team did progress to the Semi Finals as group winners where we faced Michael Syddall Primary winning 6-4.

In the Final we battled against 2022 National Runners Up Calthwaite CE Primary losing 7-3. Nevertheless the team progress along with the top 5 teams to the National Finals!

Congratulations

Our Third National Finals to look forward to. What a wonderful achievement

After a long term of practise and training, the Boccia team attended the County Finals, at Gateshead Stadium, today. To say it was nail-biting is an understatement!

After coming runners up in our group, we were through to the semi-final. After a 3-1 win we were through to a very tense final.

We are pleased to announce that we won the final 6 points to 1 against Monkton, who played really well.

A huge congratulations to the team on the day and to the wider Boccia team, who have attended practises and competitions over the past few months.

We are all very VERY proud of them!!

South Tyneside Schools Boccia Finals 2024

27th March 2024A Rogers

What a day! We entered 3 teams, this year and each and every team played with confidence and control. Team A played well winning most of their games, Team B won all bar one game and Team C won half of their games.

The competition from other schools was very tough, this year and some matches rested on the score of the last ball, in the last match- honestly nail-biting stuff.

Teams A and B made it to the semi-finals but only team A made it to the play-offs.

Team A won a very respectable third place (bronze) by thoroughly beating Lord Blyton.

Special commendation to one year 6 girl who joined the team at the last minute and had NEVER played before!

Well done Stanhope, we are so proud of you- now on to the County Finals!

Today the Stanhope Primary School Panathlon team went to a competition held at Temple Park.

We were all very nervous but also very excited! We eventually got started on 7different activities which involved throwing, bowling, aiming, rolling, all with accuracy and precision, in order to score points. We needed to work as a tight team and cheer for our friends.

We were fantastic at the bowling and the parachute events, winning 5/7 events and scoring a fantastic 90 points!

It was a nervous wait for the results but we were thrilled to come first and take home GOLD medals and a trophy for the 3rd consecutive year.

The children have been wonderful and have really enjoyed their morning.

1st Stanhope Primary 90 points

2nd Monkton Academy 85.5 points
