Pierre Henry-Fontaine Athlete Visit
Former Great Britain basketball player Pierre Henry-Fontaine came to visit our school educate and motivate the pupils into leading healthier lifestyles. He showed the pupils some circuit challenges and the pupils enjoyed trying them out.
He then spoke to pupils about how he got into basketball and his journey to becoming professional, the food groups that make up a balanced diet and the importance of eating well and leading healthy lifestyles. The children also had the chance to ask some of their own questions.
