Malawi Olympic Visitors!!

During the year 2 mini olympics today, organised by their year 5 buddies, Coalway Junior School had some very, very important visitors!!
During our arts festival Mrs Waite organised for year 4 to enter their art work into a competition to have their work displayed for the Malawi Olympic team. We were lucky enough to have Joyce and Carlton, who will be competing for the Malawi Olympic team for swimming, come into school to have a look at the mini olympics afternoon and to say hello to all the children. They even took part in a small game of rounders with the year 6 children!
Joyce and Carlton with their olympic trainer.
This was a fantastic opportunity for the children to meet Olympic athletes. If you want to support and cheer on Joyce and Carlton they will be competing on the 1st of August the 2nd of August. A big thankyou to Mrs Waite and the fantastic year 4 art work that made this possible.

It was amazing to see to Olympic athletes at our school. What made it even better was that it was year 6's PE day so they joined in with a game of rounders!
