Shona McCallin- Olympic Gold medallist.

On Tuesday our first day back after Easter we welcomed Shona McCallin the gold medallist from the Rio Olympics.
Shona started off by asking us what we knew about her.


She was born in Grantham and still lives locally so was here to inspire us to become the next Olympian gold medallist from Grantham.

Shona then told us a bit about her life as a hockey player and how hockey was her job.
Our bronze ambassadors as always taking part in our assemblies.

Shona showed us a short video of the winning match in Rio and where her team were presented with their medals.





She shared some stories about her stay in Rio .

What's in the box? A beautiful wooden box... a very special box....

...it can only be .... a gold medal!
Wow! 500g of pure gold!

Some questions about Rio...

...now time for us to ask questions.We asked some excellent ones.

Shona left us to think about this- who would be the next Olympian from Grantham?

Always an opportunity for a photo-our Bronze Ambassadors with Shona.

How lucky are they to have seen up close and touched a real gold medal?!


Luke knew about Shona as he lived in the same village-Dry Doddington.

Thank you Shona and Inspire+ for another inspirational visit.
