On Thursday 30th June we welcomed Sarah Ayton into school to talk to the children about what it is like to be an athlete who has successfully won an Olympic gold medal (or two!). Sarah spoke to the children about how when she was 6 yrs old she tried a few sports out and found that she particularly enjoyed sailing. Watching Sally Gunnell win an Olympic gold medal for hurdles was what drove her on to win her very own olypmic gold medal. She spoke about her boat, the sport itself, keeping fit and healthy and having goals and dreams. All the children and staff found her extremely inspirational .... and we all got to hold an Olympic gold medal - very exciting!
