Guys I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the brilliant chaps and chapesses at Manor Field Junior School for a wonderful day x My lovely friend Jenny teaches in Year 6 (big shout to Upper Jenny Bunkle!) and I was lucky enough to get the chance to talk with them about the row as part of their Democracy Week before Christmas. After talking in the school assembly I then had the pleasure of just being able to sit down and chat with the Year 6’s about their forthcoming school elections and answer any questions they might have had about the rowing challenge. Apart from scaring everyone with my ugly blistered hands (and a slight case of mistaken identity where Tyras thought I was chiefly responsible for cleaning the floors of Primark!) it was a fantastic morning – I thought Jen’s class were just wonderful. A huge thank you to Amy, Georgia, Kirtsy, Abigail, Chloe, Bradley, Elisse, Anna, Shelley, James, Ryan, Zoe, Tristen, Tyras (the lovable scamp!), Tiffany, Leah, Jordan and Alex for my amazing book with all your drawings (Bradley gets first prize for giving me cool red hair!) – I will absolutely treasure it. Finally my apologies for getting the boys into trouble… I sat at their table during Jenny’s maths lesson and talked about cricket and free running rather than letting them complete their potion drawings – I am a terrible person but I’m prepared to make it worse for myself by blaming Tyras!
Thank you again guys for a wonderful day and I hope I’ll be able to come back and visit you all again very soon x
