Last week, Fairlands had a visit from a representative from WheelPower - a charity which provides opportunities for disabled people to get into sport and lead active lives. Chris Rattenbury, a former powerlifter who has represented Britain at a number of international events throughout his career, came and spoke to the children in assemblies about a range of wheelchair sports and about his experiences particiating in paralympic events and wheelchair sports. The children asked lots of interesting questions and really enjoyed the stories told by Chris.
