Mrs Holroyd’s Comment
A few months ago I would never have picked this word, believing it had
depressing associations of not being able to avoid things we don’t want
to happen; it suggests we cannot control things or make things happen
as we would wish. However, during the Olympics, my view of the word
changed when Max Whitlock made his teenage dream reality, achieving
two gold medals in Gymnastics in the Rio Olympics.
His coach, Hann, when interviewed said “We have
followed the philosophy of inevitable dreams. You
don’t see your target as something you may never achieve,
but as something inevitable – it will happen”
When I heard that, it made me think about the word in a
completely different way, so I decided to pick it as my
word of the week, hoping is would set a really positive tone to the start
of the new school year”
