We hosted a fantastic Day of Discovery for Discovery Education and Nike this week. This involved teachers from across England coming to our school to hear talks and take part in discussions on how to help kids stay Active in primary schools. Speakers included Dan Burrows (Senior Director of Global Community Impact at Nike), Dr. Lawrence Foweather (Liverpool John Moores University) amongst others. We were also fortunate enough to have a Q&A session with Olympic canoe champion Joe Clarke, who won gold in the canoe slalom at Rio 2016!
As an added bonus, Joe participated in an assembly with our children, sending his gold medal around the room and answering questions about his career and inspirations. What a fantastic day for the professional development of PE coordinators/teachers and our Riversdale children!
