What an incredible day of excitement and skill we had at Wincham Primary School! Ex-BMX world champion, Mike Mullen, visited us and wowed the whole school with his amazing BMX stunts and tricks.

Key Stage 2 children were enthralled by Mike's display of bike handling skills, and the children in Years 5 and 6 even had the opportunity to try out some BMX bikes themselves and learn some tricks. We saw some budding BMX stars in the making!

The highlight of the day had to be when Mr. Garner-Laing bravely volunteered to have a go! With Mike's expert guidance, he managed to balance with his feet on one tyre (with a few wobbles!). And to top it all off, Mike showed us his incredible jumping skills by soaring over Mr Boot on the ramp! What a spectacular sight!

This exciting event wasn't just about amazing tricks; it was a fantastic opportunity to see growth mindset in action! Learning BMX skills takes perseverance and resilience. Even the most skilled riders fall sometimes! But by embracing challenges, learning from mistakes, and believing in their ability to improve, our children (and teachers!) showed a true growth mindset approach. Just like learning in the classroom, developing new skills takes effort and a positive attitude. Well done to everyone who participated and showed us what they can achieve with a 'can-do' spirit!

A huge thank you to Mike Mullen for inspiring our children and giving them such a memorable experience. It was a fantastic day that demonstrated the importance of perseverance, practice, and having the courage to try new things.
