by Jess BarkerIN October, thirteen Year 5 and 6 girls from Wheatley CE Primary Academy took part in an FA Girls' Football Festival along with many other schools around Oxfordshire.
The girls took part in a wide variety of activities including refereeing workshops, freestyle skills sessions, reaction games, goalkeeping and football skills training, as well as having their hair braided, getting the school logo face painted on and of course, playing matches.
The girls did really well in the matches, especially considering that many hadn't played much or any football before, and won three out of their four matches.
We also got the opportunity to meet and do a Q & A session with Oxford Women's Super League players Kayleigh Hines and Kat Nutman, as well as getting autographs and having a selfie taken with them.
