On Tuesday 27th February Oakhyrst Grange School was invited to Caterham school for the opening of their new super charge Sports Centre. I took 6 students (Hartley B, Jacob S, Milan P, Scarlett K, Millie T and Vivienne L) down to take part in an athletics morning trying out new sports equipment. They were split into teams with 4 other schools and rotated round the sports hall trying out lots of activities. Whilst in the midst of all this we had a special guest arrive to greet the children and it was the fabulous Dame Kelly Holmes the two-time Olympic champion.
She walked around watching and talking to the children about all kinds of sport. After they had rotated and finished they sat down and did a 15-minute Q&A with Dame Kelly and got to hear all the incredible stories she had to tell. It was a fantastic morning of sport and a true honour to be in such a presence of a sporting icon.
