During winter Year 5/6 pupils...

...were given the opportunity to play a whole season of sport. There were four options: Netball, Rugby, Football and Hockey. Once teams were selected we started training and preparing ourselves for this upcoming season. Netballers went to Hagley park, Hockey players and Footballers went to play at Nunweek. Unfortunately, not many people chose to do the Rugby for winter sport so we did not have a team for it this year.
