Year 6 - Wheelchair rugby

Date: 3rd Jul 2023 @ 9:23pm

During 'Health Week', Year 6 got to experience a brand new sport - wheelchair rugby. We all got to use a specially made wheelchair - these chairs have wheels that are titlted for speed and the front of the chair has a crash bar for when the wheelchairs bang into each other. We picked up quickly how to manoeuvre the chairs and how to bang into one another. As the session progressed, we learned how to take part in small team games, which included passing a rugby ball between players. We had a great time and left with an appreciation of how demanding the sport is!
