Year 5 took 2 teams of 10 children to Temple Park to participate in a dodgeball festival. They represented the school well and demonstrated fabulous teamwork and resilience. They had lots of fun and enjoyed themselves very much.
30 Year 5 children went to a rugby tournament at Boldon School. There was three teams and all the children worked well together. Biddick B team won their group and came home with medals. Well done to everyone who participated.
Our Great Athletes Sponsor Event took place and what an event it was! GB Wheelchair Tennis player, Antony Cotterill, visited our school to lead us in our sponsor event. Everybody tried their hardest with the circuit exercises (even the teachers!) before settling down to hear about Antony’s story.
In 2003, Antony broke his neck, leaving him unable to walk and using a wheelchair full-time. Inspired by watching wheelchair tennis during his recovery, he took up the sport and has since represented Great Britain at the Paralympic Games, winning numerous singles and doubles titles worldwide.
The whole school were fascinated by Antony’s experiences and definitely left feeling inspired. Well done everyone!
A group of year 6 children attended a Beach Sports Day event at Sandhaven beach. We had a great day taking part in a range of traditional sports day events.

Year 5 participated in a football festival at Bolden School. We took three teams and had a lot of fun in the sun. One of our teams came top of their group and were awarded medals. All the children participated well and showed great teamwork.
As part of ‘Sport’s Week’, two teams of Year 6 children represented our school in a Rounders Festival at Boldon School. We played brilliantly, remembering all of the advice given to us in our coaching sessions. One of our teams even won the competition, coming away with medals – what a fantastic afternoon!
On Tuesday 3rd June, a group of children from year 6 went to play basketball at the Vertu Motors Arena, home of the Newcastle Eagles.
We had a great day, winning 4 of our games, drawing 1 and losing just 2. The team played extremely well together and showed an excellent attitude towards sport during the day. We narrowly missed out on getting through to the next stage but definitely enjoyed our visit.
