On Friday 4th November 6 children attended the brand new Boccia tournament at Wantage Leisure Centre. This was totally new to the children who had never played the game before. The teams did really well and special congratulations must be said to Tilly Arnold, Leo Rusher and Logan Mills for coming 1st out of 16 teams!!!!
On Monday 28th November, 8 children attended the Wantage partnership swimming Gala. They worked well as a team and showed great determination with their swimming – even the tricky strokes!
Over all, the girls came 6th and the boys came 3rd – meaning they are through to the vale round! Well done!
As well as the swimming, on Monday 28th 3 Logan, Tilly and Leo attended another Boccia competition with schools from a wider area. They played some amazing matches and should be really impressed with the aiming skills they used and the tactics they developed as a team! Brilliant!

Congratulations to our A team who came 3rd overall out of all the other large school teams! Out of 7 matches we lost 1, drew 2 and won 4!
