Tynedale School Games/ Tynedale Hockey Club Develop Year 3 & 4 Hockey Festival 🏑
On Tuesday morning, Tynedale School Games and Tynedale Hockey Club hosted a Year 3 & 4 hockey festival at QEHS/Tynedale Hockey Club.
On quite a grey and damp day, over 60 year three and four pupils from four different schools, Acomb First, Sele First, St Mary’s Catholic First and St Matthew’s Catholic Primary came to try their hand at hockey for the first time and make a new active memory.
They were welcomed by a group of twenty-four sport leaders and hockey players from HMS and QEHS. This group was fantastic, their focus was on making sure that all the first school pupils had lots of fun. They encouraged them to join in the different activities and gave them lots of coaching tips.
The children were divided into eight groups and moved between different activities before finishing with a small-sided game, managed, coached and refereed by the older students.
The event was a great success, the young leaders were enthusiastic and thoughtful, and the youngsters all said that they’d had a great time, showing that even when the weather outside isn’t fabulous, everyone can have fun.
Respect. Engage. Aspire.
