The winners of last year's Year 4 'Champions Challenge' finally got to claim their prize with a fun day out at  Lee Valley Velodrome today. The pupils, now in Year 5, got to go behind the scenes at the Velodrome as well as practising their BMX skills.

The 'Champions Challenge' is organised by the Red Balloon Foundation who train selected Year 5 pupils to mentor pupils in Year 4 on how to maintain good wellbeing with a focus on physical, emotional and dietary habits. Those Year 4 pupils who are organised and enthusiastic in their journal keeping are rewarded with an exciting day out.

One of the 'Champions', Isabella, really enjoyed the day out saying, "I loved riding the BMX bikes around the course so much so that I'd like to revisit the centre with my family."

Many of the 'Champions' are now acting as instructors to pupils in Year 4 in this year's challenge.
