Gymnastic heroes.

Yesterday we went to Lilleshall to interview Daniel Purvis and Kristian Thomas. The two gymnasts are now international superstars after wining Bronze medals at the recent London Olympics. We asked them both how life had changed since the games and they reported that they were now stopped frequently for autographs and recognised in the street. They also told us that they keep their medals in very safe places. We discovered the Daniel started gymnastics when he was just 5 years old and Kristen when he was seven. The gruelling 5 hours a day training programme sounded very tough and they both had to follow a strict diet. It was amazing to meet them both and was a day I will never forget.

Reading comprehension with Newport Girl’s high

We have recently been building links with Newport Girl’s High School and have just embarked on a reading comprehension partnership where 10 of our children have been partnered with 10 Sixth form girls to help boost reading skills and forge positive role model relationships.

We are looking forward to working with the Girl’s high students and here we are busy getting to know each other.
