BONHILL Primary School ended their health week with a visit from two of Scotland’s biggest sports stars.

The annual event dedicates a whole week to focusing on health issues and how to stay healthy in everyday life.

Olympic athletes Gordon Reid and Chris Bennett were on hand this year to give the kids some inspiration and talk about the challenges they have faced in the world of sports.

Gordon, who is a wheelchair tennis gold-medalist, let the kids have a go in his wheelchair to see what the manoeuvring is really like and get sense of how it would work on the court.

Beth Hawthorne, teacher of Primary two at the school said: "It was a very big plus to the health week to have the athletes there and the kids really enjoyed Chris and Gordon coming and sharing their experiences with them.

"I think it really inspired a few of them to try harder with their own sports and be more committed. They all really enjoyed it and were amazed to see what a gold medal actually looked like.

"They both spoke about their sports, the hammer throw and the tennis, who their most difficult opponents have been and that kind of thing.

"Gordon also talked about how he had played Andy Murray. He was in his chair and it amazed kids that a wheelchair player could compete with Andy Murray on that level."

Gordon tweeted a couple of pictures of himself and Chris captioning them: “Always important to give back...fun morning with a bunch of crazy kids at Bonhill Primary.”

Head teacher Maria Seery added: "It's good to get people like the Olympians in because it gives the kids someone they can look up to."

"One of the children's grandfather is Lachie Stewart, who was an Olympic sprinter and we've had him in before which was really good.
