Today we had an inspirational assembly from a World Champion BMX legend, Mike Mullen. He told us all about his life and how he reached for his goals and then even gave us a demonstration of some tricks.

He left us with some very important lessons that we will be taking forward as part of the ‘Be the Best You Can Be’ project this year:

‘Your biggest barriers teach you the best lessons’

‘Never give up, always keep trying’

‘If its to be, its up to me’

‘Learn from your role models’

We certainly learnt a lot from Mike today and want to say a huge thank you to him for taking the time to come and talk with us and share his knowledge and enthusiasm.

Well done to Az, who Mike pushed out of his comfort zone and into the learning zone to teach a balancing trick and to the 4 brave teachers who let Mike jump over them on his bike. Well done too to all the children who listened so well and asked such great questions.
