Year 3 Trip to Kingsholm

Pupils in Year 3 began their new term with an exciting trip to Gloucester Rugby's Kingsholm stadium. The 'Heritage Tour' started with a brief history of the club. We found out lots of interesting facts e.g. Did you know that Gloucester rugby used to ground share with Gloucester Cricket Club? Next we visited the Legends' Lounge, the changing rooms and got to run out of the tunnel! Finally we got to see the view from 'The Shed' and were able to design a new Gloucester Rugby shirt. 

A big thank you to the Nicole and Helen for taking us on the tour and to the parent helpers who helped transport us to the stadium.

My favourite part of the tour was when we got to stand in the famous shed and shout across the pitch 'Gloster' - I think they heard us in the city centre!

 

I enjoyed looking at the photos of the famous players that have played for Gloucester in the past.
