We had an exciting morning in the Assembly Hall this morning. Prasanth, an athletic ambassador from the Premier’s Sporting Challenge visited us and spoke to the school.

He explained that his mother took him to gymnastics because he was a very active child. Prasanth continued enjoying gymnastics, and with lots and lots of training and commitment, he has made it to the top in his sport. Prasanth is currently ranked number one in the world!

Prasanth is dividing his time between gymnastics training and studies at university. He says it takes as much effort and dedication to achieve in his studies as it does in sport.

Prasanth encourages everyone to choose a sport that they enjoy, aim high and work hard at it to become the best you can be- and have heaps of fun along the way.

 A big “Thank you” to Carronshore P5LW students who came up with a few new ideas for us to try in PE.

After working hard for the last 14 weeks, we are coming to the end of the Premier’s Sporting Challenge and we needed some different activities to keep us going during PE sessions.

Over the last couple of sessions we have tried out our badminton skills and skipping skills.

Badminton is trickier than we thought it would be – the shuttlecock is very light and is caught by the wind to make things difficult J

We are trying to skip “double dutch” using two ropes. Some of us can do this but others are taking a little longer to get the hang of this skipping business!
