Robot Challenge
Recently, a team of four Year 5 pupils took part in a Robotics competition at Heworth Grange CLC. Using computer software they had to programme a Lego robot to complete six challenges. These included making it complete manoeuvring tasks, play 6-pin bowling, play bowls and park within a garage!! A great time was had by all with the team coming second, winning a Lego robot for the school and memory sticks for themselves. Well done Emma, Elizabeth, Dylan and Megan.

Super Year 3/4 Just Miss Out!!
The Year 3/4 football team completed their season as well deserved runners up in the Durham FA Knockout Cup, a competition that started with 64 teams. The final on Wednesday in Chester-le-Street involved Castletown (Sunderland), Lumley (Chester-le-Street) and Seaham (Peterlee) alongside us. The team got off to a slow start loosing 3-1 to eventual winners Seaham with an own goal getting us on the score sheet. The team raised their game after that with a 1-0 win over Lumley curtesy of an Aaran Sutton header he didn’t know too much about!! The final game against Castletown produced the best performance and a 3-1 win, with a goal from Aaran again and 2 from Lewis McNall. An excellent season from all involved and a well deserved final result. Well done!!!!

Champions!!!
Congratulations to the Year 5 football team who jointly won the Felling Schools FA knockout cup on Thursday at Gateshead Stadium. After qualifying for the final way back in October the squad finally got the chance to compete against South Street, Wardley and Harlow Green. On a day of very few goals and four evenly matched teams it was always going to be close, and so it proved with just 3 goals scored in the 6 matches. After a winning start against South Street with Cameron Howell getting the goal, two 0-0 draws followed in close games containing lots of good football. It led to a nervous finish, as per usual, with nothing to separate ourselves and Wardley. Congratulations to all involved and hopefully more success will follow next season.

Stunning Fightback Secures Final Place
The year 3/4 football team reached the final of the Durham County Cup on Tuesday after a stunning comeback in their final match to top their group. They lined up alongside Colegate, Ousten from Durham and Rickleton in Washington in what was a tough semi final draw.
The first game was a fairly comfortable 3-1 win over Colegate, although it is fair to say that we didn’t play as well as we can. Aaran Sutton, Nick Hall and Lewis McNall with the goals. Next up was Ousten. Twice they took the lead and twice we fought back to grab a well earned 2-2 draw. A screamer of a volley and an own goal helping us on our way.
In the final game we were to play Rickleton, knowing that only a win would get us through. We had improved as a team as the tournament went on and this was by far the best performance. But despite passing the ball well, tackling hard and running their little heart out Rickleton still went in 1-0 up at half time. The second half was a different story and we were soon back on level terms when a Lewis McNall shot was deflected into the net. With a minute to go Aaran Sutton grabbed a winner that only just crossed the line after bouncing off the bar. The last few seconds really dragged but eventually the final whistle went and the final place was booked.
Well done to all – Jamie, Carl, Kieran, Kieran, Nick, Aaran, Megan, Callum and Lewis
The Final will Be played at Red Rose Primary School, County Durham, On Tuesday 13th May.
