Uplyme gets into the Olympic spirit
British triple jumper Larry Achike helps inspire the next generation of Olympians.
A British triple jumper helped pupils at Mrs Ethelstons Church of England Primary School in Uplyme get into the spirit of the Olympics.
Olympian Larry Achike visited the school as part of visit by charity Team Super Schools and demonstrated his triple jumping skills to inspire the next generation of athletes.
Pupils were given the opportunity to have their pictures taken with the British Olympian and were put through their paces during a circuit of events.
The PE co-ordinator at Mrs Ethelstons’, Sarah Lowe, said: “The children loved it. They got lots of inspiration to practise their own events.”

Pupils at the school are currently learning about the Olympics ready for the London 2012 games.
