On Saturday 16th October, five pupils from Year 6 took part in something very special. We were invited to St James' Park for the Newcastle vs. Wigan match where we were asked to compete against another local school to shoot penalties at half time. We were competing for the prestigious 'Kick it Out' cup to celebrate equality and diversity within football. It was an amazing experience and we are delighted to say that we won the cup! Luckily, there were lots of our school friends in the stands cheering us along as we took to the pitch.
We had a fantastic day and would like to thank the coaches and staff from the Newcastle United Foundation who really made our dreams come true! Another big thank you to the pupils from Our Lady & St Anne's Primary in Newcastle, we hope you had as much fun as we did!
