What I like the most in football training: Real Madrid vs Liverpool Way
Published 05/06/25
Everyone knows that I live and love football. I learnt to shoot the ball before I was able to balance myself to walk. I belong to a football club, train with them during the week and play with my team almost every Saturday during term time. Last summer, I received the trophy when I was selected as the coaches’ player of the season 2023-24 and received the trophy. I also play at school at the first opportunity.

I watch football games on TV many times a week, and sometimes I go to simple matches or finals in stadiums like Anfield, Aston, or Wembley. I have been playing FIFA on the computer for as long as I can remember. The early set that I have is from 2017. Every day, I watch YouTube videos about tactics, failures, techniques, and I try to apply them when I play.

I have attended formal training with Real Madrid (November 2024) and during several summers with Liverpool at the LFC Academy in Kirkby.

Someone recently asked me what I prefer, Real Madrid vs Liverpool. Both clubs have very demanding training regimes, but they have different philosophies. Real Madrid emphasises a high-intensity, physical approach, focusing on individual skill and tactical execution. Liverpool integrates sports science, innovative techniques, and a strong emphasis on teamwork and adaptability.

While with Real Madrid, you work with you for you, I prefer “The Liverpool Way”, which emphasises ambition, commitment, dignity, and unity. In a strange way, these values reflect well Warwick Foundation values of responsibility, resilience, and compassion. In my school and my football career, I hope “I will never walk alone” knowing that I am part of different communities with similar values to mine.

A very muddy day
Published 05/06/25
On Saturday, 17 May 2025, I ran the Pretty Muddy race for Cancer research. I raised £350! I had a lot of fun and my favourite part was Ex-Squeeze Me because when you went over an obstacle, you landed in disgusting dirty brown water!

It is important to help charities to save people who have cancer. The money raised is used to fund new treatments, new medications and new technologies to help detect cancer.

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

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.
