On Wednesday afternoon, a group of 8 very excited Year 5 / 6 children travelled to Bassingbourn VC to take part in the SCSSP ‘New Age Kurling’ Festival.

During the afternoon, they took part in teams of 4, enjoying a range of new Kurling activities; skittles, moving stones, gates, and Team Kurling.

They all worked really well together as a team and were supported by Sports Leaders. There was a lot of fun had by all. All the children will be presented with a certificate at the ‘Sport Celebration’ assembly next Thursday.

Here are some comments from the children who took part:

Jasmine: I liked it when you had to knock down the cups. The Sports Leaders were very kind. I learnt that I could push the stones quite fast! I liked all of it.

Oli: I most enjoyed the competitive aspect of the competition. The Sports Leaders were very encouraging to me. I learnt that I am quite good at Kurling!

William: The thing I enjoyed the most was playing with my friends. It made me feel good, working as a team. I learnt that I had to aim at the target well.

Stanley: I enjoyed all the activities. My friends were supportive and encouraging. I learnt that I am good at removing the other teams’ Kurling stones from the target mat!

Jack: I enjoyed playing with my friends. I liked everything about the afternoon. I felt good when I got my Kurling stones on the bullseye and scored lots of points! I learnt that I am more accurate than I thought.

Florence: I liked the game where you had to knock over cones and score points. I knocked over the one with the most points and got a really high score for my team! What I learnt was that it isn’t always about winning or being competitive, it's actually about enjoying being there, and I did.

Daniel and Dylan: We really enjoyed it. The activities were good fun too.

Thank you to Miss McAuley and Mrs Durant for accompanying the teams.
