Some of our Year 3 and 4 learners had an absolute blast at Babington Academy, taking part in a fantastic range of sporting activities, including archery, benchball, parachute games and many more!
They were impeccably behaved throughout the day and represented Woodstock brilliantly. We are so proud of the enthusiasm, teamwork and excellent behaviour they showed.
Well done, Year 3 and 4! 🌟👏
