Atlantic Row

Atlantic Row

We were really lucky on Tuesday to be visited by Kevin Watkins and his rowing boat. Kevin and his team will be rowing the boat across the Atlantic in December to raise money for Action Medical Research. It was a challenge for us getting the boat on to the playground for the children to see! Kevin explained all about his challenge, how long the trip will take, the food they will eat and even how they will go to the toilet and wash. Kevin showed the children the safety equipment and the mascots Paddington and Jeffery the Giraffe who will be crossing the Atlantic with the team. the childre were able to ask some questions too.

This link will take you to an article about the challenge in the Portsmouth News.
