Special Visitor

Today we had a visit from a real life superstar - Kayla Whitelock from the New Zealand Black Sticks Hockey Team.  Kayla is a New Zealand Olympic Ambassador, and spoke to us about her career and what she hopes to achieve at the Olympics later this year.  It was awesome, thanks Kayla!

• It was interesting finding out about an athletes life at the Olympics - Jack
• It looks like representing your country at the Olympics is great fun, and an awesome way to make new friends - Lydia
