The winners of the Red Balloon Foundation’s ‘Champions’ Challenge’ visited the Lee Valley VeloPark yesterday to go behind the scenes and take part in a BMX ‘Pedal Up!’ session. The pupils, all from Year 4, were rewarded with the visit, after successfully completing the ‘Champions’ Challenge’ which promotes positive mental health through understanding the importance of regular exercise, eating a balanced diet and looking after your emotional well-being.

The children will take their knowledge with them when they become ‘Champions’ Challenge’ mentors in Year 5 supporting pupils in the year group below.
