Boys Footbal results

The boys were outstanding. We also had a member of staff from another school approach us and say how fantastic they were: a young boy was incredibly upset that he had let a goal in and two of our boys immediately stopped playing and consoled him. I was very proud of all the boys.

Shaftsbury    0 – 2    Stokes Wood Whites
Parks            0 – 0    Stokes Wood Whites
St Marys       0 – 8    Stokes Wood Whites
Catherine    0 – 2    Stokes Wood Oranges

Outstanding effort made by all the boys. Both the teams showed great kindness and compassion towards each other and their opposing teams. A fantastic start to the football tournaments!

National Sports Week

During National Sports Week, Stokes Wood held 4 sports days where every child in the school took part in every event. Reward medals, ribbons and trophies were awarded so that almost all achieved something. Inclusivity and enjoyment are a must at Stokes Wood. Even the parents got a chance to take part.

Skipping with Henry

Henry visits Stokes Wood every year and promotes his favourite activity which is skipping. Skipping is a skilful activity which keeps you fit and can be great fun. The children love the activities with the long skipping rope. Henry also helps the youngest children develop their basic coordination skills need to be able to skip. He also teaches the different skills for more complex skipping activities. We are looking forward to next year’s visit already.

Sporting Achievements

A selection of sporting achievements so far this year: county cross-country qualifiers, runners up in the dance competition, dancing to Revolting Children from Matilda, the staff governor golf team in the Elexis Brown Foundation Golf Tournament and the level 3 qualifying gym team. We are very proud of them all.

Santa Dash

The School Games promoted a nationwide Santa Dash which we all took part in of course. Every child ran the Daily Mile on this day, along with thousands of children across the country.

Badminton Tournament

Our Year 5 badminton team competed in a tournament at Babington just before October half term. As you can see we won the individual trophy and came 2nd in the team event. Well done everyone!

Cross Country

The first cross country event of the year took place on a September day at Victoria Park. For many it was their first experience of cross country and was harder than the children thought. More practice needed on the Daily Mile!! However, there were a few good results and plenty of challenge for the next event.

Judo taster sessions

At the end of September Sarah Downs and her team visited Stokes Wood and provided taster sessions in judo and boxing across the school on 2 days. The children loved it. Who knows one of them may a future champion in either or both sports!
