We've had a visit from Mel Jewitt this morning. She talked to us about her passion for running and told us that she had taken part in an amazing 54 marathons! We also found out that Mel was deaf and that she ran to raise money for deaf charities. She can distinguish different sounds and listen to people talking because she has had a cochlea implant.We learnt lots of stretches for warming up and cooling down properly and ensured that we conduced stretches that worked all of our different muscles.
We also managed to run a mini marathon around the school grounds. Mel and Mr Earle were very impressed with Year 6's excellent stamina - everyone managed 4 laps of the field!
Mel will be at the Summer Fair this weekend so make sure you say hello!
