This Girl Can
Our Year 5 girls had an amazing day out at Leeds Beckett University as part of their 'This Girl Can' campaign. The girls had the opportunity to participate in a range of teambuilding and sporting activities as well as learn all about nutrition and how to look after your body. It was a great chance to raise confidence amongst the girls and hopefully inspire them to do whatever they set their minds to- both in and out of sport.
