Pupils at a Newton Mearns school enjoyed a very special PE lesson this morning as celebrity guest teacher Joe Wicks stopped by to teach a ‘Burpee Bear Workout’ class as part of his nationwide tour.
Kirkhill Primary School won the visit from the Body Coach star after their energetic video entry for an online competition impressed the judges.
Kirkhill Primary Head Teacher Liz Matthews said: “Our Parent Council worked so hard to put the video entry together, with pupils acting out some of Joe’s best-known moments from his live PE sessions.
“As a school, we loved being involved in PE with Joe during lockdown and it’s been so exciting to welcome him to the school.
“The pupils are inspired by his enthusiasm and positivity and they all thoroughly enjoyed doing a burpee bear workout.”
The competition and tour come as Joe launches his first-ever picture book called ‘The Burpee Bears'.
Children at Kirkhill primary were treated to a special reading of the book as well as a Q&A session.
Joe Said: “I’m so excited to introduce children to the first Burpee Bears adventure. My goal is to bring the magic of books and fun exercise together for children, and this is what the Burpee Bear world is all about – let’s go!”
