Yesterday evening, a number of our Year 5 pupils were invited to take part in the annual Hollygirt Inter-School Climbing event, hosted at the Climbing Centre in Basford. The event is now in its fourth year, with Whitemoor taking part for the third consecutive year. 

 

Like in previous years, the other teams present were a mix of private schools (Hollygirt and Nottingham High) and state schools (Southwark and Our Lady of Perpetual Succour).

 

For a number of the children from private schools, climbing is a weekly hobbie, and so the competition was of a very tough standard. While Whitemoor did not get into a medal position, every one of our climbers displayed true effort and achieved some great scores. 

 

Our Y5 Climbing teams (three in total) were made up of: Finnley G, Harley P, Djourn M, Anas I, Natijah L, Italee P, Zakiah R, Christine S, Farrah M, Jaylah C, Inez W, Magda G, Michaela C and Leigha S.
