Move More Quad Kids Athletics Competition - Friday, 17th May 2019
Despite the chilly weather and dull skies, Tirlebrook took to the Tewkesbury School field to compete in the annual Move More Level 2 School Games Quad Kids competition. A very large group travelled over to the field, including all of the Year 6 students and two Year 4 teams. Led by our very organised Year 6 Sports Leaders, the competition began. Each team started at a different event and rotated round during the morning until all four events were completed: Howler Throw, Standing Long Jump, 50m Sprint, 400m Run. As the two Tirlebrook teams rotated through each activity, the children began to show more and more confidence. Even though it was quite cold, the children were smiling, supporting each other and having a wonderful time competing. At the end of the competition, once all of the points had been collated, the winners were announced: in 5th place, The John Moore School, in fourth place Twyning, earning bronze medals Isbourne Valley... At this point the children had started to realise their fate... In second place, Tirlebrook team 2. They proudly stood to receive their silver 'Move More' medals handed to them by our scorers Izzy, Gracie and Ruben. And then, in first place and receiving a gold 'Move More' medal, it was Tirlebrook team 1! What a super achievement from the two teams. Before leaving, a number of School Games values bands were awarded to some of Tirlebrook's competitors: Julia was awarded 'Passion', Bobby was awarded 'Determination', Alex was awarded 'Self-Belief' and Alesha was awarded 'Teamwork'. Well done all! We are all thrilled to see both teams finish the event with an award. They had such a wonderful time and they really did push themselves to their limits.
Team 1: Tilly, Ewan, Alesha, Keira, Oliver, Sophie, Chloe, Alex & George T
Team 2: Summer B, Elliot, Oscar, Julia, Emmie-Grace, Paddy, Molly, George R, Bobby & Martha
