\nLast year we supported Mrs Hendry in many ways as a school community. We encouraged her with our well wishes through her training and on the day of the big event I know our positive thoughts helped keep her going through those difficult miles. We also helped in the fundraising process. Last year our pupils were encouraged to \u2018guess the birthday\u2019 of Mr Twizzle, a cuddly character knitted by Mrs Hendry herself. In return it was very beneficial to use Mrs Hendry as an example across the school of many of the aspects of our Health and Wellbeing curriculum. It has helped emphasise the importance of setting goals and having the determination to achieve these.
