Good Morning Goldfinches- Wie Gehts?
Yesterday I had a go at baking my first ever Lemon Drizzle Cake. It was lovely despite the fact I had the oven on too high without checking and singed all the edges a little! With baking- I'm learning!
My little gang did a little bit about healthy eating using one of the power points on yesterday's blog. We then used the food cards to plan our tea on the balanced plate sheet. Later they helped prepare it. We made baked potatoes and each helped prepare a healthy filling: grated cheese from Toby,sliced cucmber and tomato from Lola and a grated carrot and sweetcorn from Amelie. It was lovely.

This story of Steven Bradbury highlights the benefits of sticking with it in the long run. You never know what might happen.
Steven Bradbury was an Australian speed skater. He had been to 3 Olympic games already - he hadn't won a medal. Over the past 12 years of training and racing he had suffered some horrific injuries, during which he nearly died. He was financially struggling and had to borrow money from his parents in order to survive.
In the 2002 games he was the oldest competitor in the event. People didn't think he stood a chance, including himself. He had managed to scrape through the heats but had what he describes as the best race on the way when he finished second in the semi-final. He realised he didn't have the raw speed of the younger racers so he employed a tactic of just hanging in there. This worked and got him to the Olympic final.
What can we learn from this? - Stick with it, who knows what might happen. - You can get a huge sense of satisfaction and a big boost from trying your best. - Just how much we can endure and overcome if we want to.
Bradbury trained for 12 years for the Olympics We can all benefit from his approach and learn his lessons if we get in there and have a go ourselves. Go on, go for it!
