Weekly Newsletter Autumn 2018 Week 4 On Wednesday Upton took part in their first ever girls U11 IAPS hockey tournament in Oxford. After only two practice sessions on a full sized hockey pitch and a whole set of rules to learn, the Upton team were up against schools who have entered the IAPS many times before and regularly play on full size pitches. The selected girls faced a tough group but undeterred they showed real determination and did not let this get the better of them. Over the four games there was a clear improvement in the hockey played as the team learned how to use the big pitch and deal with penalty corners for the first time. Particular highlights were holding Lambrook at 1-0 for most of the game and nearly scoring, and a final end to end game against Chandlings that either side could have won. The experience was invaluable and it was great to see the enjoyment gained from competing at the highest level. Little Upton celebrated ten years of wonderful facilities and a delightful learning environment for our two to three year olds on Wednesday this week. https://www.uptonhouse.org.uk/school-life/little-upton-nursery The weather could not have been better for our annual Nursery conker collection on the Long Walk on Thursday. It was wonderful to have so many parents came along too. Some of our musical soloists will be performing at the Schools’ Coffee Concert, part of the Windsor Festival, 11am at Windsor Parish Church in the High Street tomorrow (Saturday). Do pop along if you can. Finally, Mrs Thornton will be hosting her regular coffee morning next Tuesday at 8.30am in the Wallace Hall; all parents are very welcome.
