New Age Kurling
Tirlebrook have been introduced to a new sport - New Age Kurling - and it is great fun!
Y3 & Y4 New Age Kurling Competition – Thursday 5th December @ Cleeve Secondary School
Naomi, Seren, Ben and Jenson from Year 4 headed over to Cleeve Secondary School to compete in a brand-new event, the Level 2 School Games New Age Kurling competition, organised by Move More. The game of New Age Kurling is based on the traditional sport of Curling that is played on ice. In New Age Kurling, the competitors are required to push weighted plastic Kurling stones, which roll on ball bearings, towards targets. The closest Kurling stones to the centre of the scoring target wins the points.
Thirteen teams from various schools across the Cheltenham area competed. Tirlebrook were in Pool A and played five games, winning the first 2 games decisively. However, they couldn’t beat the next three teams although they kept battling hard. They proceeded to the play-offs section of the competition where they won both of their final games. At the conclusion of the competition, Seren was rewarded for her ‘Self Belief’ with a School Games values band whilst Jenson also received one in recognition of his ‘Passion’. All of the children had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Many thanks to Mrs. Gosden for accompanying the children and supporting them throughout.
Team: Naomi B, Seren D, Ben R & Jenson T-S
