  • Our rugby tour

    Published 15/05/25

    Over the bank holiday weekend, me, Arthur and William from 3BA went on a rugby tour to St Peter’s Cardiff with our rugby club, Silhillians.

    We enjoyed a day of high rope activities, laser tag and played a three-way tag tournament. A fancy dress theme of cowboys added to the fun. There were great celebrations at the end when the tag belts were taken off and packed away. We are already looking forward to the next season.

  • My visit to the Imperial War Museum

    Published 15/05/25

    Last weekend I went to the Imperial War Museum in London with my family. It was really interesting and a bit surprising too. The museum is all about wars, like World War I and World War II. My favourite part was seeing the inside of a Lancaster Bomber and a Supermarine Spitfire. There were also big tanks, ration books and gas masks so we could see what life was like during the war.

    I learned a lot at the museum and had a really goodtime. I would recommend a visit.

    On 8 May, we celebrated 80 years since VE Day. VE Day is when we remember the end of World War II in Europe. There were lots of special events all over the country where we can celebrate the victory and remember how important peace is.

  • My walk to raise money for OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity

    Published 09/05/25

    On Sunday, 4 May, with my family and some friends, I took part in the Ullswater Way challenge in the Lake District to raise money for OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity.

    This is the fifth family challenge I have undertaken for this charity. We walked 24 miles, and it took 12 and a half hours. It seemed very long and my legs and feet got very tired, but there were lots of fun bits, even an ice cream stop along the way!

    We raised a lot of money for this important charity, which helps children with brain tumours and supports their families. I’m really glad I did it. I know it makes a difference!

  • My Mexican adventure

    Published 08/05/25

    Over the Easter holidays, I went to Mexico where I visited Tulum, which is one of the last cities built and lived in by the Maya people about 800 years ago. I enjoyed exploring the ruins, but it was very hot! We saw ancient temples for the gods of the sun, wind and rain.


    On the way back we stopped to swim in a Cenote which is a cave with water formed millions of years ago. It was freezing but very fun. There were even bats flying around! The ancient Maya people believed that the Cenotes were the gateway to the underworld, as most of the Cenotes are very deep - the one we swam in was 40 metres deep in the middle! If you get a chance to visit Mexico, it is very exciting and there is lots to see!

  • My piano exam

    Published 30/04/25

    I did my Grade Two Piano Exam and passed with merit. I was excited that I was going to play on a GRAND PIANO! However, it wasn't as good as I thought because it didn't make a sound when I tried to play quietly like a normal one would, so I found it hard.

  • Ossy walks for Myton

    Published 30/04/25

    On Friday, 4 April, I walked 10km for Myton Hospice. I wanted to do this walk for Myton because my Uncle Ben was looked after at Myton Hospice two years ago, and they are a great charity. The walk was long but fun. There was a foam machine and lots of glow sticks. The best part though, was that I raised £555 for Myton Hospice!

  • Swimathon 2025

    Published 30/04/25

    On Saturday, 29 March 2025, I did a swimathon for Marie Curie and Cancer Research UK. I raised £100. I did it with Joshua (5H). Together we swam 1.5KM. I swam 750m, raising £7.5 a metre. Most of the lengths I did were front crawl, but I did do a 200m individual medley split into halves. My friend also did the same. Thank you to the people who donated.

    During the Easter holiday, I finished my first Wolf Run. We ran 3k through obstacles, mud pits, streams and ponds. It was lots of fun and I can’t wait to do it again next year!

  • Myton Hospice Moonlight Walk

    On 4 April, I did the Moonlight Walk which was a 5K walk. I did it with my classmates. It was very fun. At the end, I got a medal. Myton hospice raised £240,000 and I raised £164. The route was from Warwick Castle to the racecourse and back. In the middle there was a liquid foam tunnel to walk through. It felt like snow!

  • Warwick Juniors on Old Leamingtonians’ Rugby Tour

    Published 30/04/25

    From Friday, 11 April to Monday, 14 April, we went on tour with our rugby club, Old Leamingtonians. We travelled to Bournemouth Rugby club, staying nearby and enjoying a fancy dress party on the Saturday night! There were lots of teams, representing age groups from U8 to U12, including three teams of OL’s U9s. It was a huge tournament with matches played all day on Sunday for our age group. Although no official scores were kept, we know that we won every match with some brilliant running, sidestepping and passing in attack and crunching tackles in defence. Everyone played their part, and we had a great time cheering each other on from the sidelines. It was brilliant to play for our team as a group of Warwick boys!

  • Swimming success at the Rugby Swimming Meet

    Published 03/04/25

    This weekend, I spent Saturday evening and Sunday at the Rugby Open Swimming Meet. I took part in five races. I came 4th in the 50m breaststroke and got a creme egg but I got disqualified in the 50m fly. I was thrilled to get bronze and achieved a PB for 100m breaststroke and I got a silver medal for my first attempt at the 100m backstroke.

     I'm looking forward to this Saturday when I will be competing in the first round of the junior league national competition with Theo and Elliot for our Leamington Swim Club. We have done lots of practice and we did well in the first junior league practice at Pingles a few weekends ago, so, fingers crossed!
