Saints Study Centre

To start their day the boys from The Friars School completed their own version of the premiership rugby season. Using dice and rolling 5 times for each team’s score they used tables to calculate points awarded for each team and the result for each game.

The boys then had an hour practical where they played some rugby and also learnt rugby related games to teach to young learners. We then went to Spring Lane Primary School where the boys conducted their own rugby session for a class of Year 5 children, playing games such as Superheroes and Villains, Alien Attack and Numbers Rugby.

On Tuesday we welcomed students from Earl Spencer Primary School, who are studying the history of the Saints at school so they spent the day at the Study Centre learning all about the Northampton Rugby Club. They started their day by making name badges on the computer, using Word Art, changing the background and inserting photos to create a unique design. After drinks and snacks the children had an hour practical session with one of the Saints community coaches where they played a variety of rugby based games including tag rugby.

In the afternoon the children of Earl Spencer had the opportunity to go into the Saints stadium and look in the home changing rooms. They then ran out of the tunnel as the Saints players do on match days. Following this the young learners learnt how to do origami, and by simply folding paper they made their very own origami kit. They also learnt about logos, sponsors and the symbolism of the images within the Saints badge.
