Undefeated at the Emerald
On Friday, 11 of our lucky Year 5 children headed to the Emerald Stadium for the Super League media launch day.
Our ACE athletes represented school in a tag rugby event against multiple other schools from around the city.
Through team work and communication, we managed to go undefeated on the Leeds Rhinos’ home ground!
The Opening of the NEW Emerald Headingley Stadium!
It was an absolute pleasure to send some of our Year 4 and Year 5 children to the community opening of the Emerald Headingley Stadium to attend a mass training session hosted by the Leeds Rhinos.
Thank you so much to the Leeds Rhinos Foundation for such a fantastic opportunity!
Touch rugby @ Gledhow
Last night our Year 5 touch rugby team travelled to Gledhow for a Year 5 touch rugby competition.
ACE made the final of the competition, unfortunately losing 2-0 to a Year 6 team from Gledhow.
The team were fantastic representatives of our school and I am incredibly proud of how every member of the team performed on the day.
Well done to Stathi for winning a star performer medal!
Active Schools tag rugby competition
This afternoon 10 children represented our school in the Leeds tag rugby competition ran by Active Schools.
Allerton CE Primary made it to the semi finals before falling to Shadwell.
The team played well together, even though we lost 2 members due to a change of date in the event, and made the school very proud!
Tag rugby friendly
On Monday we played Shadwell in a tag rugby friendly in preparation for the upcoming competition. In a hard fought game Shadwell won 9-8 but left us confident for the competition day!
Tag Rugby
Tag Rugby club has been a fantastic club to run this year with the children all giving 100% in every session, and it was a perfect way to end the year with them playing small sided games at half time of the Leeds Carnegie V Bedford Bulls Premier League match. 10 of the children formed the guard of honour at the start of the game and got the opportunity to walk the players out on to the pitch. We then watched the first half with great anticipation before the children were divided up into three teams to play some exhibition games on the pitch at half time. It was a great evening, and a wonderful opportunity for the children to experience playing under floodlights.
