Students at Bedlingtonshire High School have spent the day preparing for the London 2012 Olympic Games with members of Team GB.
The students, from year 9 have taken part in an enterprise activity where they have found out first hand what it's like to prepare for an Olympic Event. The students helped plan budgets for the games, organise transportation and even designed a new state of the art stadium.
Liam Bessford (13) from Bedlington enjoyed the challenge; he told us "It was really interesting seeing a different side to the Olympics. Everyone knows about the events, but I don't think people realise just how much effort goes into organising them."
James Edge from The British Olympic Foundation ran the sessions. "The British Olympic Foundation is here to inspire and challenge young people and develop the Olympic Spirit. All over the country, young people are taking part in activities which will give them an opportunity to be part of London 2012. The students here at Bedlington have thrown themselves into the session and have been a real credit to the community."
Janet Roberts, head of PE at Bedlington was delighted with the day. "Bringing the Olympics to the UK was huge achievement and I'm just pleased that our students have had a chance to taste of that excitement."
There are just over 800 days left until the Olympic torch arrives in London.
