Special Visitors at Elmgrove
This morning we had some very special assembly guest speakers they were:
Deputy Mayor Councillor Anjana Patel
Councillor David Ashton
Councillor Hitesh Karia
British Olympians: Louise Evans and Victoria Ohuruogu
The deputy mayor of Harrow spoke to the children about the importance of walking to school and the campaign that is currently happening right now across all Harrow schools. Children also met 'Hoppy' the hare who is the mascot for the walking to school campaign.
Maria in Year 6, who won the 'Design the Banner' competition, was congratulated for her creative thoughts behind her design. You can see this banner displayed outside the school. The Deputy Major also opened the school climbing frame officially.
Both the olympians talked to the children about the importance of being both resilient and persistant and believing in their dreams and working hard to achieve them. Everything and anything is possible with dedication!
For the rest of the day classes in all the different year groups enjoyed PE with the olympic athletes.
