After weeks of lunchtime practices, a team of Y5 and Y6 boys and
girls were chosen to represent in the annual tag rugby tournament at
Kew Woods. Once again we were in a very tough group with Kew
Woods A, St. Nicholas and St. Philips and consequently had three close
games, which saw us win, draw and lose.
v Kew Woods A 5-4
Some excellent running from Jaydon, Tom and especially Jamie saw us
rack up tries against the previous winners.
v St. Nicholas 2-2
Excellent tagging from Joe Telford and Amie Blundell were the
highlights.
v St. Philips 3-4
Despite a good team effort against the eventual champions, the
inconsistent decisions of the referee spoilt the game and with it our
chance to go through to the semi-finals.
Team: Tom Stewart, Jaydon Lavelle, Jamie Hough, Aaron Rimmer,
Sam Morgan, Joe Telford, Abi Wright, Elise Bond, Emily Telford and
Amie Blundell.

Leon Booth producing some excellent
tackling.

PE Kits
We would like to remind parents that all PE kits should be kept in school.
It is essential that items should be clearly marked with your child’s
name and class. Parents should ensure the correct clothing is kept
in school at all times to ensure their child is able to access PE which is a
statutory part of the curriculum.
