Year 5/6 Football
On Tuesday, our Year 5/6 football team visited Spalding Academy to take part in the School Games football competition. The children began with a group stage before playing further matches depending on their group position.
Throughout the day, the team demonstrated fantastic football skills, excellent teamwork and determination. We scored some brilliant goals and lots of our players received compliments on their footballing ability – well done, everyone!
However, the proudest and most exciting moment of the day came when Thurlby were awarded the School Games Values Award for being the most respectful team! This award was voted for throughout the day by the referees and umpires, making it a particularly special achievement.
Thurlby were clear winners and Miss Baldwin and Mrs O’Loughlin were incredibly proud. The children thoroughly deserved this recognition for the respect, sportsmanship and positive attitude they showed to everyone throughout the tournament.
A fantastic day of football and an even better example of what it means to be a great team. Well done, Year 5/6!
GO THURLBY!
