Well this was the start of the emotional week. I went to Form VI’s party tonight (our Year 6). What a lovely “do”. There was plenty of food and drink. We had our final rugby scrum on the dance floor. The boys have been great as a rugby team; real gentlemen and I have been very fond of them. I wish them luck in their new schools and wait for the next tearjerker on Wednesday at the farewell assembly.
ODE TO THE RUGBY TEAM
Avon house rugby team, you’ve been great chums
You’ve got a bit dirty when you joined in the scrums.
Joe is the captain and Luca scrum half
Harry, and co always having a laugh.
We won the match at Coopersale Hall
We swept the boards at Brentwood School
The tournament at Bancroft we did our best
Tim got sent off and had to rest
We had Eli and Alfie both on the team
Mrs Harris on the touchline ready to scream
Mr Ferrari came too, he drove the bus
We mustn’t forget Philip he’ll make a fuss
There were of course those boys from Form III
They’ll get a poem next year from me
I wish you all luck as you go on your way
Many more years of rugby to play.
