On Thursday 17th October, sixteen Year 5 children went to the EIS in Sheffield to learn how to be Bronze Young Ambassadors. Throughout the day, the children participated in a variety of sports and activities as part of their training. Here’s what they said about it:
“We learned determination and resilience when we were playing a team game and kept dropping the ball. Also, when we were doing a cricket activity, we tried really hard to hit the ball and thought about different ways to develop our hand-eye coordination. We liked the stepping stones because we needed to use teamwork and balance.”
The children also met a Team GB, medal- winning Olympian in gymnastics – Sam Oldham. This caused a lot of excitement! They said:
“Sam was very cool and really nice because he encouraged us and included everyone. He gave us advice on how to improve our handstands. He’s an inspiration for the nation and told us to keep working hard. His story of how he got into gymnastics was inspiring.”
