St Piran’s | The Millstone | Easter Term
MORNING MOTIVATORS AND LOCKDOWN LEGENDS
Teamwork, engagement and motivatios are some of the qualities our Games Department strive to nurture in each and every child in lessons, and with school closed for a while, getting involved in our usual training was a little tricky. They had a plan to get us on our feet…..
It was time to get up and shine! Each morning our motivators (aka Mr Smith, Mr Barker and Miss Holloway) encouraged us out of bed and onto our feet with a 3-minute workout on our YouTube channel, preparing us for the day ahead. Along with our Wake Up and Shake Up sessions, which we know were enjoyed by the whole family, Mr Barker and his team behind the scenes inspired us to get to our feet and join in! By the end of term, these evolved into a special staff edition and even a parents’ version, both of which brought a smile to our faces! Mr Barker became famous for his Brainteasers, a puzzle to keep our grey cells working – “what was the missing item on the conveyor belt?” – as well as bringing in some famous faces as a weekly surprise in our Celebrity Wednesdays! Among others, Basil Brush, Sooty and Sweep, the real Mr Motivator, Paul Chuckle from the Chuckle Brothers, S Club 7’s Jo and Bobby Davro popped up on our screens to spread some positivity and encouragement with a special message for St Piran’s.
