Yr5-6 Tag Rugby Festival
On 13th October we held our Yr5/6 Tag Rugby Festival at Crusaders RUFC. This was an Engage themed event and was for pupils who enjoy friendly competition but don't want to solely focus on winning and losing, instead they focus on supporting pupils wider development of their physical, personal, emotional and social health. All Pupils received a participant certificate and the school games value celebrated for this event was Determination. All children were encouraged to display the school games values and fair play but each team nominated one pupil from their school who stood out the most for showing Determination School Games Value.
We had the following 14 schools/teams attend our event:
- Toftwood Junior
- Cawston
- Firside
- St Peter's
- North Elmham
- Stibbard
- Dereham Junior
- Lyng
- Bawburgh
- Corpusty
- Bawdeswell
- Drayton Junior
- St Augustine's
- Foulsham
The schools participated in 7 different tag rugby skilled based activities delivered by the Neatherd & Taverham High Schools sports leaders, who were brilliant at supporting and encouraging the children to do their personal best. It was great to see over 140 children involved in rugby and a great opportunity for the pupils to represent their school in a sports event. The pupils were active and improved across the day. Following on from todays event, we encourage schools to provide the children an opportunity to develop and improve their rugby skills further by putting on clubs before/after school, break and lunchtimes as well as encourage the pupils to join a local community club to promote/grow rugby wider in Norfolk.
