On Thursday 16th March, ten Year 6 children attended the Tag Rugby festival which took place at Derby Rugby Club, where we showed fabulous spirit in lots of different sports. As sport reps of the school we were even more excited to take part in the competition, where 12 schools in Derby were able to get together to play, have fun and show how well we worked as a team.
Throughout the day, we played sports we had practiced during our training sessions, including Tag Rugby, as well as many others. The Year 6 also learnt new sports such as Netball with a Rugby ball and a running style version of Noughts and Crosses.
We started the afternoon with stuck in the mud as a warm up, followed by two full games of Tag Rugby, taking on the roles as Defense and Attack, playing to the best of our abilities. The rest of the afternoon we spent learning new sports and demonstrating respect to both our team mates and the other teams.Tiring and hard work, it was great fun, and even though we didn't come first, the teamwork, respect and communication showed by all, demonstrated true SILVERHILL SPIRIT!
