Tewkesbury Primary Schools' Sports Network's Archery Competition - Wednesday, 22nd May 2019
On yet another warm day in May, a large group of Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 children ventured over to Tewkesbury School to compete in the annual Tewkesbury Primary Schools' Sports Network's Archery Competition. Two teams were created from the group and worked together to compete in two archery activities: shooting from 5 metres with full archery equipment and using arrows to shoot at a variety of targets. With support, guidance and encouragement from the Xperience team, the teams participated enthusiastically, learning lots of skills and techniques in both activities as they attempted to amass the highest number of points possible. At the end of the event, one of the two Tirlebrook teams managed to achieve second position and were awarded silver medals. However, both teams should be proud of their performance. All of the children took part respectfully and positively. Congratulations to our team members who were awarded School Games values bands: Luke for 'Self-Belief', Rachel for 'Respect', Anthony for 'Teamwork' and Rose for 'Honesty'.
