Olympian Beth joins in gymnastics lesson at Willow Lodge

Keen gymnasts in Willow Lodge were delighted to welcome Olympian Beth Tweddle to school recently.

Beth and her team were more than happy to help out with a gymnastics lesson, showing excited pupils the best warm-ups, and top tips for improving their balance and core strength.

After meeting Headmaster, Mr Hartley, and Head of Infants and Juniors, Mrs Ainsworth, Beth visited all the year groups for a fun question and answer session about her time in competitive sport and as a celebrity on Dancing on Ice!

She revealed the hours of practice and sheer determination it took to represent her country and encouraged the children to try as many sports and activities as possible.
