We have been lucky enough to work alongside Tom Luke, the Head of Rugby at St. Bede's. Not only did he come to school to teach a Tag Rugby session to everyone in Year 6, he also arranged a tournament at St. Bede's, where eight lucky children got to compete against children from Catholic Schools across Bristol and North Somerset. 

 

The session we had at St. Francis was great fun, but hard work! Mr. Luke had us playing 'Follow the Leader', whilst passing, placing and picking up the ball. Many of us haven't handled a rugby ball too often, so it wasn't always easy. We then practiced tagging each other by playing 'Beavers and Badgers' - half of us were beavers, half of us were badgers and we had to catch the enemy. The session ended with some seven-a-side games on the playground. Mr. Luke was very impressed and said we were the best Year 6 class he had seen so far!
