Sports Day

Sports Day for the Junior primary was last week after being rescheduled due to rain. The house colours all named after famous Oxford landmarks are Pitt Rivers (Red), Oxford University (Blue), Blenheim Palace (Green) and Magdalen Bridge (Yellow). Ella was allocated Oxford University.

Held on the school 'oval', the Sports Day involved the children rotating through 12 stations including 4 rests. Divided into small house colour groups, the children earnt points for their team through participation and cheering.

Some of the activities were....
 hurdles
  running rugby ball relay
 bean bag balancing
 obstacle relay 
 soccer ball dribble relay



Katy's friend from nursery, Rebecca was there watching her big brother. Together they shared snacks in between running up and down the little hills on the edge of the oval. At least they kept each other entertained for the 2 hours!

Oxford University came 3rd with Pitt Rivers announced as the winning house.
