On Friday 15th May the Year 5 children went to Gateshead Stadium to complete a half marathon. The children were put into teams of ten and took it in turns to walk, jog or run around the track!!!
Unfortunately at 10.45 the rain came down and we all got soaked. But By the end of the morning all the teams had completed a half marathon. Fun was had by all, even if we all were quite wet!!!!

It's a pity that the weather was rotten for the half marathon, but, there's just no stopping our children!
Well done Year 5!!!
