A small group of S5 girls were invited along to the BBC studios last Thursday to be a part of the audience for a live question and answer session with a panel of successful British female athletes.   The girls participated in a morning workshop where they discussed and created possible questions for the panel.   This was followed by the question and answer session which was broadcast live on the BBC website where two of our pupils were selected to ask the panel a question.

The panel consisted of:-

Beth Tweddle – Britain’s most successful gymnast

Hannah Miley – Double Commonwealth games gold medallist

Gemma Faye – Britain’s all time most capped football player

The girls thoroughly enjoyed the experience with some of them managing to capture the moment with a photograph with the athletes.   The show is available to view on BBC iPlayer until Saturday at noon.
