Sports For Schools Event , by Mrs Fletcher

Date: 24th May 2016 @ 2:17pm

This morning we welcomed Tony our sportivator and GB diver James Denny into school. The first part of the morning was spent with each class  completing their circuit challenge. It was an amazing sight seeing every child exercising with a huge smile. The atmosphere in the hall was electric! Our fantastic sports leaders helped to run the event and they did an amazing job.

Once all of the circuits were complete we had an assembly. James spoke about his journey to becoming a Team GB diver. He talked about effort and positive thinking. He also told the children lots of interesting facts about his sport. It was great to get the chance to see the silver medal he won at the 2014 Commonwealth competing with Tom Daly in the 10m synchronised event. James also demonstrated how to do a back somersault and a handstand on the edge of the stage.

It  was a FANTASTIC morning at Longton Primary
