Today our 18 Tag Rugby players competed at Temple Park in the South Tyneside Finals.
Our 2 teams competed with wonderful team spirit, composure and focus.
The drive, determination and sportsmanship from our teams was second-to-none as always, shaking hands with teams and thanking referees and organisers too. They are a credit to us. The children gave 100% to their team in each and every game.
Our A Team topped the table to take gold 🏉🥇🏆 winning all 7 games convincingly, while the B Team finished a creditable 5th with 1 win and 1 draw.
As this is the last event of this academic year, as well as the final event for our Year 6 pupils it made the victory all the sweeter.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the pupils for their commitment and hard work. It’s been a privilege to coach and teach them, seeing them thrive and develop into great sportspeople. Congratulations and always remember that hard work does pay off. I’m so proud of you all and every child who represents us in the green and yellow of Stanhope. 😊👍👋👏
Today we’ve a great time exploring the river and coastline in South Shields.
We enjoyed ordnance survey mapping, local area study and finding key landmarks, then we did drawing, shading and sketching in the North Marine Park where we even spotted a pod of dolphins! Finally we had a delicious McDonalds treat.
We cannot wait for tomorrow and what the rest of the week has in store.
Today we have had yet another tremendous success. Our 11 players represented our school proudly at Gateshead Leisure Centre in the County Finals.
They competed in 7 different events, including; new age curling, boccia and other activities. Their performances were then converted to points and we finished in FIRST and SECOND!! 🥇🥈🏆
We were awarded stunning medals, framed certificates and beautiful trophies to keep in school, adding to our growing collection.
Well done to our team we are so, so proud of each and everyone of you. 👏👏👏
National Dodgeball Finals – Fenton Manor Sports Complex, Stoke
After proudly reaching the National Finals today we unfortunately failed to progress to the knockout stages of the competition.
The children were a credit to Stanhope, reaching the finals in itself was a tremendous achievement. They played well, but the run of luck just wasn’t with us today. We came up against some tremendous teams and had a wonderful experience nevertheless.
Their commitment to training for the event has been undoubted.
I am extremely proud to have worked with and coached the team this year, I know we will bounce back stronger and hopefully make it again in 2023.
It’s been a long day after a 5:30am start and as we head home, we all hold our heads high.
A BIG thank you also to Mrs Wardle for her support and Mrs Ali for driving us today.
Congratulations once again team – get a good nights sleep (although from the pictures some of us have nodded off already)
