Hoops 4 Health Tournament!

17th January 2020S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

On Thursday 16th January, 2 teams from Year 5 went to Temple Park to play in the Hoops for Health basketball tournament.

 

Team 1 won four out of their five games. The first game was 16 – 0, the second was 8 – 0, the third 3 – 1, match four 10 -0 and the final match we lost 3 – 1.

 

Team 2 won 3, lost one and drew one.  The first game was 5 – 0, the second was 2 – 1 to the other team, the third 4 – 0, match four 2 – 2 and the final match we won 4 – 1.

 

Both teams got through to the quarter finals for coming second in our groups.  Unfortunately, we had to play each other in this match and Team 1 won 2 – 1.  This means that Team 1 have made it through to the Grand Finals which will be played at the Newcastle Eagles Community Arena on Friday the 7th February.  We will play in the semi-finals before the Eagles match and then if we get through to the final, that will be played at half time in the Eagles match.

 

We had a great day and everyone played extremely well and showed good sportsmanship.

Girl’s Football!

4th October 2019S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

Yesterday, the girl’s football team played in their first tournament of the season at Boldon School.

We played three matches: the first match was against St Aloysius where we drew 1-1; we played Hedworth Lane in our second match and lost 1-0 and in our final match against Fellgate, we won 4-0.

We saw some spectacular goals from Hannah and Ellie but the whole team played extremely well.  It has been a good start to the tournament, our skills continue to improve and we’re excited for our next match.

Year 5 are lucky enough to be working alongside a rugby coach from All Stars Rugby in order to prepare us for our upcoming Tag Rugby tournament. Our lessons this week were moved indoors due to the weather but we still managed to impress with our excellent passing and tagging skills.

Annual Sponsor!

12th July 2019S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

We took part in our annual Sports for Schools Sponsor. This is a fantastic initiative which allows us to invite athletes into schools and in doing so raise money for school sport equipment. This year, we were delighted to welcome Stuart Robinson, an Invictus Games Athlete, to Biddick Hall Junior School. We had great fun completing the exercise circuit and we were delighted to listen to Stuart explain to us his sport, Wheelchair Rugby. It was a fantastic afternoon and the children went away feeling very inspired.

Year 6 Kwik Cricket!

24th May 2019S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

On Monday 20th May, Year 6 took part in a ‘Kwik Kricket’ tournament at South Shields cricket grounds. It was the largest festival of its kind ever to be run with over 40 teams playing and competing.

Our school took 3 teams of 10 and played in different rounds against a variety of local primary schools from around the borough. Each team had 8 players in the match at one time. We enjoyed fielding and batting experiences but perhaps most of all the chance to work in teams together which allowed us to progress our cricket skills and grow in confidence throughout the day.

All teams played well and represented the school with sporting etiquette and skill. Teams C and B both won two matches and lost two, Team A won three matches and lost their final one by 5 points after a controversial interjection by another cricketer. Despite this, all players kept their heads held high and enjoyed a sunny day out playing cricket.
