Year 5 Mini Olympics

As part of the North East Festival of Languages, 20 pupils attended a ‘Mini-Olympics’ event at Newcastle University Sports Centre yesterday. Pupils took part in a variety of individual athletics activities, including long jump, high jump and triple jump, with many pupils receiving medals and recognition for their excellent participation and effort during the events.

Pupils also took part in team events which included relay races, egg and spoon races and dodgeball. With Jenna T being a standout performer during dodgeball for Spain and Oscar N showing fantastic positivity and sportsmanship for USA. All six schools represented different countries with HMS representing Spain and USA. Our USA team finished runners-up at the end of all the events. A fantastic effort from all!

All pupils were excellent ambassadors for the school and showed great team working, communication and staying positive – well done!

Respect. Engage. Aspire.
