Year 5/6 Sportshall Athletics Competition

ners of the Whickham Cluster Sportshall Athletics Competition for year 5 and 6 students.
Six teams took part and there was great competition in all events. Whickham year 12
students were well prepared and the event ran smoothly and successfully. Teams com-
peted in running races, hurdles, ball push, standing long jump, vertical jump and speed
bounce. The final events of the afternoon were the team relays which I am sure you all
heard from your respective schools!!!! The roof very nearly came off the Whickham
Sportshall.
Final results are below:
1st Washingwell 1621 points
2nd Fellside 1480
3rd Parochial 1377
4th Front Street A 1356

Washingwell Primary went on to represent the Whickham Primary Schools Cluster in
the Gateshead finals where they finished a magnificent 4th.
CSL/HSL lend a hand I hope you will all agree that our young sports leaders are doing a marvelous job in leading sports activities and clubs for your primary students. They are helping out
at lunchtimes, running energy clubs, helping with extra curricular clubs, training students to deliver boccia and delivering cluster events at Whickham School.
Please get in touch if you have any feedback to pass on to them.
