"On Wednesday, a GB slalom canoeist called Eilidh Gibson came into school. First, Year 1-6 did multiple exercises in the hall. Then there was an assembly, where Eilidh told us about her life and her journey to becoming a slalom canoeist.
Personally, although I didn’t have high hopes about it, I thought the exercises were a fun experience. When walking into the hall, you instantly felt joyful: songs were playing, people were chanting for their classes and happiness was heard everywhere.
The lesson I learnt in the assembly was, if you want to do something, then you can always achieve it if you push yourself. Eilidh showed this because she wanted to be a slalom canoeist, committed to the training and when she tried as hard as she could, her dream came true."

"I felt happy because people were cheering for their year groups but a little embarrassed because people were watching me. When we were lining up to go back to class, I was tired from doing the exercise but it was fun."
