Term 4

On Thursday 16^th March the year 5 and 6 tag rugby team participated in the tag rugby festival at Dursley RFC along with 18 other teams. Due to new guidelines the event had to be a festival and not a competition therefore there would be no winners or medals. However Dursley RFC kindly decided to donate 12 brand new shirts to be awarded to the team which showed the best team spirit. During the course of the afternoon Horton showed compassion, perseverance, encouragement, friendship and forgiveness. Horton were chosen as the team who showed the best team spirit and won the new kit! We were all very proud of the team and their outstanding performance.

The children all left sweaty, smiley and with goodie bags!
