This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Exercise is extremely important when looking after both our physical and mental health, so we must make sure we are getting our 1 hour of daily exercise, if not more. Sometimes when we are competing in sport and other activities, we can feel upset or angry if we do not achieve. This is where the importance of resilience comes into play... See below to find out what resilience is and why it is extremely important, not just in sport, but in our everyday life!
Today, the Y6 boys’ football team defeated Salusbury School, 3-2, to claim the Brent Football League Championship! Our boys got off to a slow start in the first half with Fionn making some fantastic saves to keep the match at 0-0 at half time. After the break, the boys took charge with goals from Kofi, Zak and Kofi again to take a 3 goal lead. Salusbury then mounted a great comeback, scoring 2 goals to make the score 3-2 going into a tense final stage. Thankfully, OLOG held out for a brilliant victory to secure the Brent League! Zak has been named as our Man of the Match for a great all round display. This boys football team is the most successful we have had at OLOG in recent history (at least the last 11 years) as they were runners up in the Brent Cup this season and have now won the League! Well done to all of the boys who played today and who have played in league and cup matches this year. Special thanks and congratulations to Mr Yost for coaching the team through the year.
