On Tuesday the 31st of January, 18 of the
children from Kingfishers spent the afternoon at the Royal school for the Deaf,
taking part in a New-Age Kurling competition.
Kurling is a
form of the original curling game, but adapted so that it can be played indoors
on any smooth, flat surface, such as a sports hall, rather than on ice.
We split into three groups and competed against schools from
the local area in a round robin. Each group showed a respectfully competitive
attitude whilst playing the sport and were gracious in both loss and victory!
We had lots of fun throughout the competition and, although
we didn’t place, our skills and accuracy had improved and we enjoyed the challenge
of playing a new sport.
