Team GB comes to Pennthorpe
This week Pennthorpe had a visit from a Team GB and England Hockey player Izzy Petter.
On Wednesday, Years 5-8 had a visit and masterclass with Izzy Petter and learned lots of new skills to up our game in matches. We learned skills such as dragging and 3d skills! It was outstanding fun, and we learnt a lot from her! At the end, we had a Q&A with her in which she had to answer lots of questions about her hockey journey and life. After that, we had hockey items signed like hockey sticks and gumshields and then the head for the day (Maddie and Sophie) had a picture with her and it was all incredibly fun!Maddie & Felix C, Year 6
