Year 5 and 6 Tag Rugby

Year 5 & 6 Tag-Rugby Tournament Success!
This week, two Goostrey teams took part in the Year 5 & 6 rugby tournament at
Holmes Chapel Comprehensive — and they were absolutely sensational.
Our first team were unstoppable in their mini league, winning every match with
superb teamwork and determination. The semi final and final were nail biting
affairs, each decided by a single try, with Goostrey showing incredible resilience to
edge both games and bring home the trophy.
The standard of rugby across all schools was outstanding, but Goostrey’s quality,
spirit and composure really shone. Our second team were equally impressive,
playing with grit, courage and real flair. They produced some brilliant rugby of their
own — winning a couple of matches and drawing two — and showed huge
progress and confidence throughout the tournament.
It was an exciting afternoon of Rugby, and full credit goes to every Goostrey player.
Their sportsmanship, behaviour and talent were exemplary, and they represented
the school brilliantly. A huge well done to: Kayson, Oliver, Stanley, Lucas, Bethany,
Bryony, Matthew, William M, William D, Leo C, Florrie, Jamie, Artie and Joseph.

Games Festival Friday 

On Friday, 34 children from years 3 – 6 took part in a fun sports day at
Goostrey playing fields in Boothbed Lane.
This was organised and run by Thrive – a PE provider for some of our local
schools and children from Hermitage, Chelford and Brereton schools also
took part.
The children were split into teams from the different schools and age groups
so that everyone got to meet other pupils.
The day began with netball. Captains were appointed then the teams were
sent to their allotted space in the tennis courts to devise warm-up activities – it
was a little chilly to begin with and slightly damp but luckily enough the rain
                             stopped before we began. The teams were then given objectives and a pointscoring system.

The idea was to include everyone and to develop throwing
and catching skills rather that to compete against anyone else. This was great
fun and teams were very inventive with their ideas.
After a short break, we moved on to frisbee games – once again focussing on
teamwork and tactics - the children also enjoyed this activity.
After a short lunch break, the teams were reorganised so everyone had the
chance to meet even more children. It was time for football. Once again,
teams had their own playing space on the astroturf and each team played all
of the other teams. Fortunately, the area covers more than three tennis courts
and is marked out so there was plenty of room and perfect for small football
games with 6 or 7 children on each team.
The final sport was tag rugby and followed the same format as the football
games.
The children spent the whole day running round and having fun. There were
no winners so everyone got involved and had a lot of fun trying new sports
and developing their skills,
Behaviour and manners were great and sportsmanship was much in evidence
during the whole day. It was a pleasure to be with these terrific children.
Well done to Kayson, Efren, Hannah, Eleanor, John, Luke, Ted, Freddie, Beth,
Charlie, Saul, Ollie, Ella, Daisy, Rex, Harry, Asa, Georgia, Chloe, Heath. Mila,
Theo, Oliver, Daisy, Lily, Ralph, Arthur, Bella, Evelyn, Oliver, Rupert, Finley,
Ezzy and Seth.
Thank you to parents and carers for bringing the children to this event.

Year 5 and 6 football on Wednesday 30th September

A selection of Year 5 & 6 footballers took part in a tournament at Holmes Chapel Comp this week. Our teams played brilliantly – one missed out very narrowly on winning their tournament after playing some really exciting football. The other team were up against some tough opposition and gave it absolutely everything they had. Our players showed fantastic sportsmanship and behaviour. They had a great time representing the school. Well done to…Lucas, Jacob, Reuben, Josh, Oliver, William M, Noah, Toby, Bethany, Bryony, Stanley, Rex, Anvitha and Romilly.
