Charlie from Reception invited his dad Alex to come and talk to Class 1 about his favourite sport kite surfing.

During his visit, Alex showed the children all the equipment he needed to use to go kite surfing. He then showed the class amazing pictures of kite surfers doing some incredible tricks including flying through the air!

The excited children were able to try out the surfboard and even had a go at pumping up the giant kite. They were amazed to see that the kite took up the whole classroom once it was fully inflated. It was like a big tent!
