Shanghai Special Olympics

Friday 5th October
Today we visited th Pudong Natatorium to watch the swimming preliminary rounds. Whilst there we were fortunate enough to witness Zoe Kale take bronze in the ladies 800m freestyle. Swimmers competed in variety of classes and the pupils found the event very interesting.
In the afternoon it was off to the University sportshall to take in some volleyball. We watched several games with great interest and the pupils would now like to see volleyball reintroduced to the Hill Top PE curriculum!! We saw teams from China, Russia, USA, Turkey and India in action. The games were all close and the pupils found the sport very exciting.
