Children at a Norfolk school have had a taste of Olympic stardom after a medal-winning swimmer visited their school.
Pupils at Hopton Primary School met Commonwealth silver medallist Joe Roebuck and joined him in a sponsored circuit session.
Mr Roebuck, who competed in the London 2012 Olympics, helped all the children complete four different exercises before delivering an inspirational assembly to the whole school.
The children were sponsored to complete the circuit, with funds going to the school’s charity of choice, as well as Olympic athletes.
Funds were also donated back to the school, to aid them in buying new sports equipment.
The school managed to raise more than £1,00 for the causes.
Headteacher Christabelle Whiteley-Tye said: “It certainly was an extraordinary afternoon with the children completing the challenge with a smile on their faces.”
