Kenny Logan – former Scottish Rugby Union player and more recently, a contestant on BBC celebrity dancing programme Strictly Come Dancing – was contacted by P4 pupils as part of a homework task to research Famous Scots.
Luckily, it just so happened that the sports personality was going to be in Scotland this week, and decided to visit the class.
During the visit Mr Logan spoke to P4-P7 pupils about his dyslexia, the impact this had on his time at school, how he overcame these challenges and his career in rugby.
Depute Head Teacher Ruth Allan said: “It was fantastic to have Kenny in today to talk to pupils not only about his rugby career but also about his hard work and determination in overcoming the difficulties he faced whilst he was at school in understanding his Dyslexia. It was extremely inspiring for the children, some of whom face similar challenges in their own learning. ”
Mr Logan said: “It was great to come into Dunblane Primary School today and chat to the children. They had some great questions! If today has helped children in understanding dyslexia a bit more and helped to build their confidence then it’s been a great day all round.”
