Alternative Olympics
Here's the latest news from our afternoon at the Alternative Olympics Festival held by Theale Green School.
We were lucky enough to be invited to an Alternative Olympics festival being held at Theale Green School. A well organised event allowed our pupils to participate in new and exciting sports. Bocca, seated volleyball, curling and archery were all enjoyed by our enthusiastic pupils. Each and every event was entered with great enthusiasm and left our children coming away with a bronze medal.
Well done!
