Our Journey to the world of Touch Rugby

• • In 8 weeks of P.E, we learnt about a new sport-Touch Rugby, which many of us had not played before. 
    Through this session, we learnt about the type of passing, such as the off-the-ground passing, how to pass, and of course, the game rule. We also had hands on experience regarding game play. It was interesting and fun as Touch Rugby is not a very common sport played in schools.
    On the last week of our Touch Rugby session, we had a inter-class competition against 2 Integrity. Although some of our teams lost, we still enjoyed the game. On top of that, we built up our teamwork.
    It is regretful that we have come to an end of the 8 weeks of our Touch Rugby. However, we will not forget what we experienced and learned through the session.

The Game (Interviews)

After 10 weeks of Touch Rugby lessons, the students of 2 Respect and 2 Integrity were ready to unleash their full potential and put their skills to the test.
On the 31st of August, the students of 2 Respect and 2 Integrity gathered in the school field for a friendly match of Touch Rugby.
Each and everyone of the students from both classes did their very best and displayed sportsmanship, respect and teamwork during the match.

We interviewed a few players of 2 Respect to gain their opinion on the game and the lessons spent on learning Touch Rugby.

Question 1: Did you enjoy the game?

                  "Yes, because our team tried our very best although we did not win" - Iman
                  "Yes, everyone did their very best and supported each other!" - Low Jia Yi
                  "Yes! It was fun and challenging." - Melissa

Question 2: Do you think our team did well?
                 
                  "Yes, we persevered and tried our very best to play a good game." - Iman
                  "Yes, some of us sacrificed ourselves (to be tagged) and showed teamwork instead of playing as an individual." - Low Jia Yi
                  "Yes, because we scored 1:0!" - Melissa


We interviewed some referees as well.

                  "Yes, they really did their best and cooperated with each other." - Hedy
                  "Yes, they played by the rules, and they were also honest. They also did formations and strategized with one another." - JianHui

Question 2: How was your experience as referee?

                  "It was really tiring as I had to keep running back and forth to guide them." - Hedy
                  "It was enjoyable. However, I felt at risk since the players might complain about my judgement." - Jian Hui


In general, all the players and referees had an enjoyable time during the friendly match and we all hope to have one again!
