Sporting Superstars!

We’ve had a very sporty day today in Yarrow class. The day started off with some circuit training, which definitely woke us all up! We had 4 activities to do and had to keep it up for 1 minute. It sounds easy but we were very tired after it.

Once we’d got our breath back, we went into the hall for an inspirational assembly with Great British heptathlete Jess Taylor, who told us all about how she got into athletics and what events she did. Poppy and Mr. Broomhead were even lucky enough to go to the front of the assembly to have a go at some of her training methods (Mr. Broomhead said it was very tiring!). After that, Jess took questions from the audience and Year 6 asked some fantastic questions like what her inspiration was and which event out of the seven was her favourite. It was a fantastic morning and I’m sure a few of our children have been inspired to have a go at the heptathlon. You never know…in a few years, one of our children could be aiming for the Olympics like Jess is!
