On 25th March four children from Year 5 competed in the Gateshead Primary Schools Year 4/5 Athletics Finals at the Louisa Centre in Stanley. Olivia, Eleanor, Charlotte and Lauren had previously taken part in an athletics event at Whickham School and their performances led to them being selected to go on to the Finals.
At the Finals in Stanley they formed a team with children from Fellside Primary and Front Street Primary to represent Whickham Primary Schools. Competing against nine other teams of children from all over Gateshead, the Whickham team came first and won Gold. We are so proud of them!
