School league 

 

The school has brought back school league which hasn’t been done for a couple of years. For school league from 1st to 6th class is split into 8 teams. Every week we go up to the football field and play 1 team and if you win that game you get 3 points if you draw both teams get 1 point  and if you lose your game your team gets 0 points. At the end of all 7 weeks  whichever team has the most points will get their team name engraved into a plaque with all the other school league winners. It’s very fun to go up to the football field once a week and to play against our friends.

Congratulations to this year’s winners – The Yellow Team – The Crying Monkeys

 

      Rugby blitz

 

In school Tony would come on Wednesdays and teach us a bit about tag rugby. We would play in the back yard in our school on the astroturf. Tony brought us over the water to play a proper match against other schools. There were two different fields one being the top field and the other being the bottom field. The older classes such as 5th class and 6th class would go to the top field and the younger ones such as 4th class and 3rd class would go in the bottom field. The fields were sectioned out into 4 parts each and so there would be different matches going on at the same time .As we first walked up Tony gave us some instructions on to how to play and on what field we were playing on. We went up to the top field and placed down our bags and put on our school jerseys. As we were waiting for our match to be up most people were practising with the spare rugby balls. When it was our time to go up we were first playing Caherdaniel. Each match was about 10-15 mins long. We were playing our match and we won the first one. Soon after we were playing another match and we were against Waterville and also won that match. We had some lunch before starting our next match against Filemore, we sadly lost this match but that was fine. We went on to our last match against town and sadly also lost that one we had a small bite to eat before packing up our bags and getting ready to leave before tony gave a small speech and the 4th class did the haka. We went onto the bus and started driving. That was our rugby trip and we really enjoyed it.
