'I always try to push myself to be the best I can be.

Our inspiration, Sir Mo Farah, is the name of our class.

Sir Mo Farah is a famous British athlete,who is known for his success in long distance running. He was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1983 and moved to the UK when he was a young child. He discovered his talent for running at school and made the choice to take the sport seriously.

Farah went on to become one of Britain's most successful athletes. He won four Olympic gold medals in the 5km and 10km. He also won six World Championship gold medals during his career. His biggest achievements came at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, where he won gold in both events.

Sir Mo Farah became an inspiration to many people because of his determination and hard work. On the 14th November 2017, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his dedication and perseverance. This showed people around the world that no matter what we go through, we can overcome difficult challenges.

This year, Farah Class have an exciting year ahead of them. The children will experience French culture, as well as what is happening around our world, in our project ‘Life on a Plate.’ In History, we are going back in time to the Tudors, to how King Henry won battles and fought for his country. In Geography, will be taking an imaginary look around rumbling volcanoes. We then continue our fabulous learning journey into The Incredible Stone Age. We cannot wait to learn about Neanderthals and become archaeologists!

We are looking forward to an amazing year. This year we are going to focus on the journey and persevere when it becomes challenging. We are going to shine our light to give the best that we can. Strength and courage will be the foundations to help us grow this year.

'It has been a long journey, but if you dream and have the ambition and want to work hard, then you can achieve.
