Zayn was very proud to show off his karate achievement. He told us: "In December I got my black belt. I had to a special kata and my karate teacher was wearing a suit when he marked my karate. There is 63% of getting my black belt. I felt excited to do it and I was very happy when I got it. The entire course was three hours so it was hard work and I had to focus for a very long time.  Next year, I am going to try and get my second black belt there is a 0.2% chance but I am feeling confident."  Very well done on this amazing achievement Zayn!

 What a great weekend Toby and Isabel had!  They had a really special moment on Sunday at Silverstone.  Toby got to meet one of his all time favourite racing drivers, Nic Hamilton.

A huge well done to Nivah who is representing Walsall Gym Club!  Here, she has come second place in her group for the Walsall Gymnastic Club competition.  This has been a huge achievement for Nivah and parents share how hard she worked for this competition. 

Nivah always practises very hard and she even memorised both her routines for the competition without any help from anyone. 

Well done Nivah, what a fantastic achievement for you - I wonder how many other children would like to try out gymnastics too?
