Today, Year 4 went to our weekly swimming lesson at Birtley Community Pool. We were absolutely thrilled to meet with Olympic gold medalist swimmers Adam Peaty and Tom Dean! We also met Paralympian’s Louise Fiddes and Maisie Summers-Newton! Adam Peaty showed the children his Olympic gold medals and the children were fascinated.
When we had finished our swimming lesson we were so happy to get to see Prince William for a few minutes to say a few words about the swimming lessons and to say goodbye as he was leaving as well. He made some jokes with the children which made them all laugh and was so lovely with them. We managed to get a few photographs but make sure you check out the north east news tonight and the news online as well, as there were lots of cameras and we just might make an appearance!
