Well done to our Y5&6 tag rugby team who demonstrated some excellent attacking support play to enable them to score many tries as well as keen defensive performances in their competition at the Corbet School. They won and drew several games in the 9 team tournament. Congratulations to Baschurch ‘B’ team who came out on top having won all of their games.

Today, the Y6s had the wonderful opportunity of taking part in tennis activities prior to watching a professional tennis match at The Shrewsbury Club. Here are some photographs of the day.

Jaguar class’ tag rugby in PE today……

This morning, 14 Y5&6s were selected to represent the school in a netball competition at the Corbet School. After playing many matches, Myddle ‘A’ team finished 2nd in their group whilst Myddle ‘B’ team finished 3rd in theirs. A great effort by all and it was vaulable experience to take part in an inter-school competitive netball event, which for many, they had never done before.

Thanks to the donations for Science resources from the hardworking PTA, our Y5&6s were able to investigate friction in Science this afternoon. The children tested which surface had the most friction.

Y5&6 Friday afternoon PE lesson consisted of a fitness warm up followed by tag rugby.

This afternoon, 12 pupils from Y5&6 were selected to attend a tag rugby event at Oswestry Rugby Club. Having now played several matches, the pupils have gained vital game experience, which has helped them to develop their understanding of the rules and enhance their positional play. In between games, the pupils also were provided with the opportunity to learn tackling experience using the tackle bags, which they thoroughly enjoyed.

During the last two afternoons, Jaguar class have been planning and then carrying out a Science investigation based on ‘air resistance’.

It was a wonderful Panathlon (bowling) event for 15 Y5&6s this morning. They all had a great time! Well done in particular to Blake, Harry and Grace for achieving over 100 individual points on their scores!

Y5&6 Jaguar class have been developing their tag rugby skills in PE on Fridays.
