It was a joy to return to St Peter’s Catholic Primary School. This was a ‘single school’ PowerHouseGames, with a whole school assembly to set the scene, talk about my life and how I had overcome the various barriers I had faced, and why we teach inclusive sport.
I was impressed the Year 6s remembered so much from my previous visit in February 2020, in the pre-Covid world! But it was a question from a Year 4 pupil that caught the eye:
“Do you enjoy being disabled?”
You will have to book a games with an assembly to hear the answer!
We played four games in the hall – new age kurling, sitting volleyball, sitting netball and goalball – with great help from each of the two class teachers and teaching assistants. Across the four year groups each of these four games had their champions and were equally liked.
Mrs Bradbury who arranged the visit said:
“Thank you so much for your visit – the children got so much out of it and are still talking about the activities they did with you.”
And head teacher Mrs Parker described the day as truly inspirational.
I look forward to returning again.
