I’m in year 4 and I was one of 4 children to be asked into my schools curling team. We practice in the sports hall before lunchtime. I enjoy playing with my friends even though it can be cold! My carer came to watch me practice and I even let her have a turn. Recently our school entered a competition against 18 other schools, and we came 2nd! At the end of the competition, I received a medal and a certificate, I was very happy, but I was kind of nervous because everybody was watching me. In February we will be competing in the finals against one other school, I am excited. – Myles
Myles often struggles to believe in himself but being a part of a team and being so successful, as well as being supported and encouraged by fantastic carers has really allowed him to grow in confidence. It’s important to recognise the significance of clubs and teams, how they enable children to interact with new people and develop new skills. We wish Myles and his team the best of luck in their curling final in February!
