Joe Wicks visit

On Tuesday 21st of May, we were very lucky to be visited by the body coach and author Joe Wicks.  Joe visited fifteen schools over five days across the UK as part of his popular School Tour. He aimed to meet and exercise with over 10,000 children.

Joe arrived at school at 10 am and quickly set up for the work he would do with the whole school.  We had a stage and sound system on the KS2 playground so that he was able to work out with the whole school.  The whole school were out on the KS2 playground and fortunately, managed to take part in a work out with Joe before the rain. After that, some children took part in a Q&A session with Joe about healthy lifestyles, fitness, his books and his motivation. Children in school and at home enjoyed doing his daily workouts through lockdown and he has inspired us to get fitter as well as to write a book!  Joe was impressed with the children’s energy and enthusiasm. Joe donated a signed copy of his book ‘The Burpee Bears’ to our school library.

The whole school community had a great day and we are very grateful to Joe and to Miss Winter for arranging the event.
