The team all performed really well and were so encouraging to all their teammates. In a competitive afternoon we narrowly missed out on the bronze medal by 2 points. A big thank you to our amazing supporters who helped to add to the amazing atmosphere. Another brilliant event and they have again made me very proud!

What a busy day for Thrupp on the sporting field. In the morning we took 2 rugby teams to Painswick to compete in the Atlas rugby competition. Some fantastic rugby was played by both teams, showing great teamwork throughout the morning. This culminated in our Y5/6 team taking home the bronze medal and our Y3/4 team winning Gold and taking home yet another trophy!! 

Athletics

The 2nd event of the day took a team of 12 Y5's up to TK for an indoor athletics festival. The event was lead by TK's sports leaders and was a great opportunity for our Y5's to try many different events as well as have a look around a potential secondary school for them. 

KS2 Football Festival

On the 22nd November we took a yr3/4 and a yr5/6 mixed team to the Atlas football festival in Stonehouse. The two teams took part in a group stage followed by knockout stages. Both teams made it through their respective groups and into the knockout rounds. The 3/4 team had to come through a penalty shoot-out to make it to the final with the 5/6 team also making through to the final.

The 3/4 team managed to score a last minute winner to bring the trophy back to Thrupp. The 5/6's were unlucky to concede a deflected effort to come away with second place.

All in all in was a hugely successful morning for Thrupp with a 1st and 2nd place finish and some fantastic teamwork and individual skill on show by all.

The girls showed each other great support throughout the day and considering it was the first time they had played together, played some lovely football. I know the girls can't wait to play again and personally I can't wait either!! 

Tag Rugby Development Festival

On Wednesday the 23rd of November we were due to take a team to Stonehouse for a development tag-rugby festival. However, as a result of the weather this was cancelled. The Atlas team made up for this by coming into school and running a fun technical session. Points were given for the different activities and our final scores will be put up against all other schools.   

Tag Rugby Festival

​On Wednesday the 30^th November we took 2 teams to the Atlas rugby festival, held at Stonehouse. Our teams of yr3/4's and yr5/6's performed brilliantly throughout and both teams represented Thrupp well. The yr5/6 team finished 2^nd in their group, meaning they went onto a knockout stage. They managed to win their play-off game and went on to win the final match of this section, becoming Championship winners. Well done to Prim, Noth, Beau, Jake, Kit, Arthur, Hayden, Sam and Walt.

The yr3/4 team managed to win all of their group games, this meant they went through to the Champions league. In this section the top 4 teams battled it out for the medals. Our yr3/4 team came out on top in the semi-final, setting up a final against Amberley. In a closely contested match our fantastic side came out on top and took home the gold medals!! Well done to, Maddison, Nylah, Ted, Wiley, Bobby, Ethan, Leif, Jasper and Sammy.

Yr 6 Netball Tournament 

We took a team of 7 to the Atlas netball tournament this Friday, competing against 15 other teams. We played some lovely netball and it was nice to see them working together as a team. We finished the 1st stage coming in 4th overall, winning 3 games and drawing the other. This meant we were placed in a play-off match. In a close match we came out second best, however to take this team to their 1st netball tournament and finish 4th, finishing above much larger schools I couldn't be happier. Great morning with lots of smiles.
