Sports News

Swimming Gala

Year 5 and 6 took part in a Swimming Gala at the Oratory School on Wednesday this week. We won all but one of the medley races and the group displayed excellent teamwork and they encouraged each other really positively. A parent from another school commented how smart the Woodcote pupils looked in their PE kit which was good to hear. We were second overall which was an improvement on last year. Olympic Value of courage went to Lily Assadi.

 

Year 3 and 4 High Five Netball Tournament

On Thursday this week the team played in their first tournament since the club started. After a slightly tentative start their confidence grew with each game. The matches were all very close and the team won 1, lost 4 and drew 1. Olympic Value for improvement went to Eleni Southby.
