P5 have been very fortunate to have had rugby training this term. Over the weeks we’ve learned new skills and rules and have progressed to playing touch rugby matches. We have really enjoyed the experience and lots of us have been inspired to join a club to keep training and playing.

Here are some things we’ve learned:

‘Now I know to do a ‘W’ shape with my hands to catch the ball. There are 15 people in a rugby team so 30 on the pitch all together. You can’t pass forward but have to run forwards then pass the ball backwards.’ Ellie T

‘I am now able to pass the ball properly by pointing at where you want the ball to go as you throw it. I’m better at working in a team.’ Paul

‘I am able to evade people better and to pass the ball more accurately.’ Now I’d like to get more rugby involved at Meldrum.’ Ryan G
