On Thursday 10th February Year 6 visited the Emirates Riverside cricket ground in Chester-le-Street as part of their Literacy through sport Outreach programme. The children recorded a match report in the actual Sky Sports studio, using teleprompters and visual cues. They then took part in a bowling competition where we managed to knock down 18 stumps from 124 balls, a very impressive ratio indeed! The final activity of the day was definitely the highlight - the children got to meet and quiz a professional cricketer, Ruel Braithwaite, who has just signed for Durham. We found out some interesting facts: like he can bowl at speeds of up to 90mph, faster than cars on the motorway!

It was a great day and an experience that we will never forget!
