What an Extraordinary Morning with Nekoda Smythe-Davis! Wow, we had an incredible start to the day with a truly inspirational visit from Olympic Judo athlete Nekoda Smythe-Davis! Nekoda shared her sporting journey with the children, talked about resilience, determination, and the power of never giving up. The children were absolutely captivated and thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the fitness circuit with her. She is a fantastic role model and has definitely inspired our children to aim high and believe in themselves. A quick reminder: Please ensure any sponsorship money is returned to school by this Friday. Every penny goes towards supporting athlete visits like this and promoting active, healthy lifestyles in school. Thank you for your continued support!
