TAG RUGBY TEAM WINS LEAGUE AND QUALITIFY FOR THE CUP -
REPORT BY MR CAIN
Our tag rugby team headed to the Vineyard School, knowing a win would give us the top spot in our mini league and the qualification for the Cup competition. Despite a little wobble at the start, where we conceded, a try bumped up the scoreline 1-1. Our players defended with such resilience for the rest of the game and were devastating going forward with a finishing score of 10-1. Well done Alana, Sassy, Isla, Oli, Seb, Freddie, Alex, Eli and Alistair.
All named lost property (uniform, PE kit, coats, bottles and lunch bags) that makes its way to the school office throughout the day will be sent back to the child in their classroom.
Please ensure that all of your child’s belongings are clearly labelled with your child’s name, this will ensure its returned to its rightful owner if it becomes lost.
Anything not labelled will end up in the un-named lost property trunk on the playground. This can be accessed and browsed at morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up using the Winchester road gate.
