We had a fun filled Wednesday morning this week as we welcomed GB Paralympian, Dan James, to our school.  Dan is the goal keeper for the GB blind football team, competing around the world including the London 2012 Paralympic games.

He helped to inspire and motivate a physical fitness session participated by all children and staff.  Four separate exercises to be continually endured for a minute was the challenge set out.  (Believe me, it was harder than it sounds.)

Despite the dripping sweat, the burning muscles and gasping for air, with the encouragement of the whole school, everybody completed the challenge which was a monumental effort by all.

Once recovered, we learnt about Dan James’ journey to his success’s and learned what it takes to achieve your dreams and ambitions.  We were even lucky enough to see one of Dan James World Silver Medals.

This event was part of our sports for school program, designed to inspire young people to get active and learn the importance of working hard to achieve your goals in all aspects of life.

Through the children’s hard work, we are able to raise money for sports equipment for our school to continue on our journey to achieve sporting excellence.

We now kindly ask that all sponsorship money is to be collected and brought into the school by Wednesday 8th February.  Have a look on the sponsorship forms at the great prizes that can be earned through raising funds.

I thank you in advance for all the support for this fantastic sporting opportunity.  I hope that every body had as much fun as I did
