Our Shout Out from Scott Barrett!
As part of our group interest around Aotearoa and our children’s interest in rugby, we have been following the Super Rugby competition. To extend on this interest, we organised a class trip to the Crusaders vs Hurricanes game in Christchurch at the end of March. We were incredibly lucky to have been given free Take a Kid to Footy tickets for the whole class and their parents thanks to More FM. Due to the lockdown, all rugby matches were suspended, meaning that we were unable to go to the game. We were obviously a bit disappointed but understood why the games had been suspended and hoped that we could try again if the season recommenced.
In the meantime, I received an email from More FM last week to let me know about a competition that they were running to win a shout out from your favourite Crusader, and that they had a feeling that a little video message was coming our way from Crusaders captain – Scott Barrett. I responded to say how amazing that would be and that I knew that some of our children had been practicing their rugby skills with their bubbles. More FM replied to ask if I could send through some videos of their skills for Scott to see, which our parents were more than happy to do. A few days later, I received an email with this amazing shout out to our class which the children absolutely loved!
I want to say a huge thank you to Jess from More FM for organising this for us, and to Scott Barrett for taking the time to send us this shout out which I know will have only extended our children’s love of rugby and the Crusaders!
