This morning our Y1/2 and 3/4 athletics teams travelled to Peterlee Pavilion to take part in an Easington SSP outdoor athletics events.
Here is Mr Lowerson's event report:
Twelve local schools entered the event and the standard was incredibly high. Each team entered an athlete in the long jump, howler throw, 50m sprint, long distance and x4 athletes in the relay race.
At the end of the event, Ribbon achieved:
Y2 Boys Gold🥇
Y2 Girls Silver🥈
Y3 Girls Silver🥈
Y4 Boys Gold🥇
Y4 Girls Gold🥇
Each team deserves huge credit for the way in which they conducted themselves as athletes and represented Ribbon.
Special thanks to our supporters who came along in huge numbers to cheer on our teams (despite the weather), to Easington SSP for organising another outstanding event and to RCW Windows, Doors & Conservatories for their kit sponsorship. ... See MoreSee Less

**🥇ATHLETICS HAT TRICK🥇**
Last Friday, our Year 5/6 Athletics team travelled to Brandon Primary School to take part in the 'CNS Sports Stars' athletics competition.
Here is Mr Lowerson's event report:
The competition format meant that every child in the team took part in every event so they had to be prepared as every single point counted!
When the final scores were tallied up, Ribbon finished with 825 points which pipped an excellent Tanfield Lea Primary (on 805)! The means our team have gone the entire year undefeated in athletics competitions.
We end the year as County Champions (as part of the larger Easington District team) and CNS winners to cap off an unbelievable year.
Well done team Ribbon!
Thanks to CNS for a superb event and to RCW Windows, Doors and Conservatories for the kit sponsorship. ... See MoreSee Less
