Athletics Adventure
On the 7th June, some pupils from Years 7 and 8 went to Gateshead Stadium to take part in an athletics competition. The events Included high jump, shot, javelin, hurdles, 100m, 300m and 1500m (a very long way!) The stadium was huge and it was an amazing experience to run, jump and throw where professional Olympians had...though I am sure that some of the athletes from our school will be competing there at this level one day. If you did well enough you would qualify for an event at the stadium in July to win medals and determine who is the best in the country. A lot of our school’s competitors qualified.

Overall it was a great experience and everyone , whether they came first or last, had a fun time.
