National Sports Week Day two, and today we had a full program of activities. Students had the opportunity to relax with some yoga hosted by Zoe Butler first thing, chilling down with some poses and breathing, a slightly gentler start than those who attended a brilliant wheelchair rugby coaching session from Stu and Rob from Rippa Rugby. The students learned some core rugby skills before taking part in a game (they particularly enjoyed tackling PE Teacher Jake). Living The Dream Equestrian brought in two Shetland Ponies, Boo Boo and Reeba, who received a lot of attention and strokes from the students while Tennis was the focus on the sports pitch with inclusive sessions from Coaches Zoltan and Dave from The Southbourne Tennis Club. Cricket sessions in the sports hall with Josh from Dorset Cricket and Boccia skills in the playground with our friend Gemma Mitchell from The Victoria Community Boccia Club completed the day’s timetable. An action packed day! Huge thanks goes to all of our visitors today for these brilliant sessions.
