June 2008 Last week Matt Osborne, PLT at All Saints Harworth, used his Year 5 Young Leaders to organise and lead Y3 children in a Y3 hockey tournament. The Y5s were asked to run an event, not just refereeing, but also scoring, acting as press and photographers. At the end of the tournament the Y5s had to produce a newspaper for the school and the Y3 children to report back what happened in the tournament. The children displayed great leadership skills and fully enjoyed leading younger children within the school. They also got a sense of how difficult it is to run an event and how to officiate games. I have included some photos (See Serlby Park Gallery) and a copy of one of the newpapers that was produced.
