Recently, a group of pupils competed in the District Athletics Competition at the Riverside Athletics complex in Chester Le Street.

Tag Rugby Festival (Year 4) 2021-22

28th April 2022 By christopherturnbull

Recently, Year 4 had an amazing time at the Tag Rugby Festival. It was an incredible day out and we did not let the rain stop us from having lots of fun. We started the morning off by learning the basic rules of Tag Rugby and then played matches against other local schools. We soon got the idea of the game and everyone tried extremely hard in all the matches. After lunch, we were much more confident and worked really well in teams, scoring many tries and winning several games. Year 4 displayed great sportsmanship sharing positive comments with teammates but also other school teams too. Well done to everyone who took part!

As our first family challenge, we are setting the monumental task of walking, running or cycling the 272 mile / 438 kilometre distance from DELVES LANE PRIMARY all the way to BUCKINGHAM PALACE!!!!

Throughout this week, record any walks, runs or bike rides you go on as a family and simply email in to school your efforts or share them below in the comments section for this post.

We will keep track of how we are getting on as a school and will update you on our progress as the week goes on. We can’t wait to find out what you get up to and would love to see lots of pictures of the whole family in action, so please send us lots of pictures of you all taking part!

All that’s left to say is good luck and have fun! And, hopefully we’ll make it there in time to pop in for a socially distanced cup of tea with the Queen…
