Today we delivered another Primary Panathlon – this time in East London. The reaction of the teachers, Young Leaders and Competitors can be read below….
Karen Pincott, Inclusion Manager, Mead Primary School, Havering
“We attended the previous Primary Sports Event in February this year and had such a wonderful time we are overjoyed to being invited back here today. Prince, one of our pupils with severe language impairment described the day as, “The best day of my life!!” High praise! I had other children begging to come to this event again but with limited places available, to maximise the number of schools involved, I had to say no. They had the right hump with me! This is a wonderful day, encouraging a great deal of social interaction. This is a such an important aspect of the language resource of learning. Thank you so much for all your hard work in making Primary Panathlon Competitions happen.”
Teacher at Northway Infants School, B&D
“We had a fantastic day at the Panathlon Challenge and we all really enjoyed all the great activities, it was so much fun. The children can’t wait to tell all their school friends about it.”
