Today was a very exciting day at Manor Way because we got the chance to meet an Olympian!
Each class had a special assembly with Marilyn Okoro, who is a British track and field athlete. She won the bronze medal for the 4 x 400m relay in the 2008 Olympics and brought it in to show us!
Each child has the chance to ask her a question. We found out about her childhood, her inspiration (Serena Williams) and she even told us about her training schedule. When competing, she would train for 6 full hours per day!
Some classes also got the chance to take part in a short circuit of sit ups, press ups, jumps and mountain climbers! If you didn’t get to try the circuit out today, you could give it a go at home!
Put your favourite song on and perform 30s of each exercise!
