Paralympic hand cyclist David Abrutat recently visited Berkley School to work with the children.
David has won five gold medals and some of his accomplishments include hand cycling all around Britain, and hand cycling the length and breadth of Britain.
The children at Berkley School had a fantastic time meeting and exercising with David. He motivated the pupils through stories and engaged with them with kids’ fitness and fun.
The children were sponsored to complete one minute of four different exercises (spotty dogs, mountain climbers, press ups and star jumps) and were cheered on by the rest of their class.
The children then had an assembly and David shared his story; the children listened really well and he then gave really thoughtful and insightful answers to their questions. It really was a brilliant afternoon. They have raised over £1,000 for the athletes and their school.
