As part of our involvement with the Leeds North East School Sport Partnership and Active Schools, we have recently entered two sporting competitions. A huge well done to all children who took part. For a few, this was their first opportunity to represent our school.
Leeds North East Primary Schools Sportshall Athletics
Fifteen pupils from Year 4, 5 and 6, took part in this action-packed competition, at Allerton Grange, comprising of many field and track events. It’s always a well-contested event and the children competed well against other local schools.
- ‘I enjoyed everything I did. Our team was very positive.’
- ‘It was a great experience that wasn’t too competitive. I loved it!’
- ‘I enjoyed the competition because there were lots of events to choose and do.’
Thank you to Mrs Bald and Mrs Russell for taking the children to this event.
Leeds North East Primary Schools Cross Country Festival
Eighteen pupils participated in the Leeds North East Primary Schools Cross Country Festival at Cardinal Heenan. There were over 650 young people taking part in the races and over 100 pupils in each race.
A particular well done to Grace and Megan who came 7th and 10th in their Year 5 girls race. Also, children commented on the resilience of Ripley who took a fall in the mud but got himself up and then continued to overtake many other runners!
- ”I thought it was good because it was different and my mum used to do cross country too.’
- ‘It was really good because even if you don’t like running too much, like me, you still had a fun time.’
As always, we thank staff and parents who helped with these events.
