On Monday, both year 5 classes had Nick and Adam from Pompey in the Community in school to talk to them about inspiration.

We thought about our dream jobs, who inspires us to achieve our goals, whether a famous celebrity or a family member, and what steps we might need to follow to realise those dreams.

We were introduced to the story Jamie Johnson in the book ‘The Kick Off’ and children were challenged to write a motivational speech to the main character in a competition to win a pair of tickets to a Portsmouth home game next season.

After the class based session, it was then outside (or the hall for 5H as it was raining by then) for a series of fun games based on strategy, teamwork and a little bit of luck.

A big thank you to Adam and Nick for providing the sessions!
