Our team have played 13 competitive matches (and some additional friendlies) over 3 weeks of competition at Bishop Auckland Rugby Club. Round 2 was played in wet and muddy conditions and the team did excellently to play with determination and not complain! Round 3 was played in fair weather and the team ended the league by recording 4 straight wins, including an outstanding 6-0 victory in their final match – much to the delight of their cheering parents! Although the team found some matches tricky, the team finished a respectable 4^th in the league with 6 wins and 7 losses. All the adults watching agreed how much the team had improved over the 3 weeks. Well done to Morgan (captain), James, Chester, Ben, Corinne, Calum, Olivia and William for your outstanding effort!

Yesterday, we held our intra-house cross country competition where all of the children competed to earn points for their house team. They did an amazing job and it was wonderful to see children showing determination and perseverance to complete the track.

This week, as part of Durham Music Service’s Big Play event, our violinists treated us to a wonderful performance. Their teacher, Miss Miller, led them in performing a range of pieces that they played with confidence – not a squeak or wrong note in sight! Two of the children had recently played as part of the Weardale Stars in front of a very large audience at Glow Church UK and for two musicians, their performance this week was their first ever. All of the children did a wonderful job and the whole school enjoyed it – well done to them all!

 

 

 

 

 

Our team of Year 6 cricketers have competed in 2 weeks of their 3-week league at Hunwick Cricket Club. So far, they have recorded 3 wins in 3 games. Well done Ben, Carter, Carlton, Drew, Euan, Matthew, Rory, Zach and Zack and keep up the good work in your final matches.

 

This week the Image Musical Theatre visited us to perform The Selfish Giant. The children had a fantastic afternoon learning the songs and watching the performance and a group of children were especially excited to get the opportunity to become actors for the afternoon and take part in the performance. As always there was plenty of participation and singing and our very own actors did a great job!
