Tag Rugby Festival
This week we saw the return of the Primary School Sports events to our school. This has always been an exciting part of the PE that is provided at SPA and it has really been missed by the children.
11 children from Years 5 & 6 represented SPA in a Tag Rugby Festival on the amazing TNHA playing field. The children took part in ‘coaching’ style games and a round-robin event whereby every school plays each other once. All the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were great ambassadors for the school.
