Last week saw the final sessions for all those who have attended the Study Centre for Playing for Success this term. The activity we planned was a player interview, however, due to the recently increased training schedule of the Saints players, there were none available at the required times. Consequently, a number of ‘behind the scenes’ staff volunteered their time to be interviewed instead.
Professsional press conferences were held each evening allowing the children to ask a number of questions to the likes of Lenny Newman- the team manager, Kevin Buckby- the kitman who was also awarded Saints Clubman of the Year and Ross and Rowland- rugby coaches from the Community department. Lennie even bought in the two newly won trophies for the children to see!
Following the interview, the children produced a profile of their interviewee on the computers which encouraged them to develop their ICT skills as well as improve their listening and writing abilities.
The children had a wonderful time and we would all like to thank everyone who gave up their time to make this experience possible for the young learners.
