December Physical Activity Challenges December Physical Activity Challenges 11 Introduction Welcome to the Islington Healthy Schools Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity teams' (PESSPA) Physical Activity Advent Calendar! The calendar offers children different physical activities to do throughout the advent calendar month of December. Some of the activities can be done by the children in the playground, some should be done in school time and there are also activities for the children to do at the weekends. The activities are varied and fun and there should be something for everyone, from the least to the most active. Feel free to do different activities to the ones in the calendar, the most important thing is that the children are active every day. Please encourage the children to use the calendar. You can print them and hang them in school and you can email them to parents. Encourage the children to do the activities that are both in and outside of school time and check with the children each day to see how they are getting on. You could give a certificate to any children that do ALL of the activities on the calendar, or talk about the children that have made the most progress with the activities and mention them in assemblies. Encourage the children to keep doing the activities during the school holidays and beyond. There is no reason why the teachers can’t join in with some of the activities too! We hope you have fun doing them and would love to hear about the how the children get on and would value your feedback on it. Enjoy!

The initiative is simple and free; class teachers take their class outside every day for 15 minutes to run, jog or walk around a designated route. Children simply run in their school clothes and return to class feeling refreshed, energised and ready to learn. https://thedailymile.co.uk/ Santa Dash On the 11th December, the activity is the Santa Dash! Schools can do a walk, jog or run in fancy dress, a Santa outfit, a Santa hat or just wearing something red! For more information on the School Games Santa dash - https://www.yourschoolgames.com/sgo/outwood-grange/national-school-games-santa- dash/ Walk with Captain Tom Captain Sir Thomas Moore – commonly known as Captain Tom – has raised over £40 million for NHS charities. At age of 99, Captain Tom began to walk laps of his garden to thank the NHS for their hard work during their pandemic and for the care they had shown him when he had a hip operation. Captain Tom planned to raise £1000 before his 100th birthday but raised much, much more and became known all over the world for spreading his message of hope and gratitude. The Captain Tom Foundation has launched a new campaign, #WalkWithTom to encourage people to walk to stay healthy and to talk to each other to keep each other happy. He is inviting all schools to take part in #WalkWithTom. Schools can decide how to organise #WalkWithTom in their school – to take part they just need to share Captain Sir Tom’s story and organise a walk. They could walk in the playground, walk round the school, walk ‘round the block’ or to somewhere near the school, such as a local park or green space. It’s completely up to schools how far they walk and how many children take part – it could be a class, a year group, or the whole school. You could do a one- off walk, walk once a week, or walk every day – just like Captain Sir Tom! Schools can also send a tweet and include #WalkWithTom to get a special message back from Captain Tom. https://captaintom.org/walkwithtom 3 Wednesday Challenges Every Wednesday, schools can choose an activity to do from the ’60 Active Minutes Update’ that Michael Peet will be sending out to schools on the Friday before.

Now in its eleventh year the awards are a mainstay of the ActiveWestminster calendar, bringing our community together to recognise and celebrate the people and organisations who help us create an Active City for All. This year’s Awards are particularly needed, as it is important to recognise and celebrate the tremendous efforts of our residents, athletes, volunteers, clubs and ActiveWestminster partners, who have continued to provide their high quality services and provision to those that have required them the most throughout the pandemic. The nominees range from residents, local clubs and schools through to ActiveWestminster partners and Westminster-based elite athletes. The standard of nominations has again, been exceptional this year and we’re extremely proud of all those who were nominated. Therefore, we’ve had to make some tough decisions in short-listing the finalists, all of whom have been recognised for the vital role they play in physical activity, leisure and/or sport by getting and keeping our residents and communities active. The hard work and dedication of all the nominees is extremely appreciated by the council, our residents and communities that we all serve.

    A11 THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION, LIBRARIES AND ARTS – 25 SEPTEMBER 2001 REPORT BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EDUCATION, LIBRARIES AND ARTS THE LONDON YOUTH GAMES 2001 This report highlights the success of young people at this year’s London Heathrow Youth Games which took place on Saturday 7 th and Sunday 8 th July 2001. It looks at the strategy adopted by the Sports Development Team to increase the level of individual and team performance in the games and provides targets for next year. FOR INFORMATION 1. BACKGROUND 1.1. At its meeting on 11 September 2000 the former Youth and Continuing Education Committee considered a report on the London Youth Games.

The Committee was advised that at a meeting of the Council on 19 July 2000 it was agreed to: ‘review current facilities with the aim of increasing the resources available to broaden our participation in the Youth Games next year and throughout this century.’ 1.3. The Sports Development Team subsequently undertook a full analysis of each sporting activity in the games. The analysis attempted to identify strengths and weaknesses, available resources and facilities and what action would need to be taken to significantly improve performance. 1.4. At its meeting on 30 October 2000, the Youth and Continuing Education Committee agreed targets for the London Heathrow Youth Games 2001.

  • Let Us Hear Your Compliments, Suggestions Or Complaints
    Let us hear your compliments, suggestions or complaints: www.orleanspark.richmond.sch.uk/contact-us Weekly Entries to Website: Sixth Form Open Evening Year 7 Exam Week Timetable Tuesday 25 June 2013 London Youth Games - May 2013 Trials flyer 6pm – 9pm From the Headteacher GCSE Drama Showcase Last week the Year 11 GCSE Drama pupils performed their group examination pieces to an audience of friends and family as a final preparation for the actual GCSE examination the following day. This year the examination brief was to create a performance that would make the audience ‘think’, and the result was some very hard-hitting pieces. The pupils worked incredibly hard to perfect their plays, coming in at weekends and spending time after school rehearsing. It certainly paid off as the quality of the performances was simply outstanding and it was a hugely enjoyable evening. My thanks go to Ms Smith and Ms Davies, assisted by Mr Flowerdew, who gave up considerable amounts of time to direct and rehearse the pupils. Year 11 Leavers As the main written examinations approach we shall be formally saying goodbye to our Year 11 pupils this Friday. There will be a final assembly in the morning and then the pupils will start their formal study leave. As in previous years an extensive revision programme has been planned for the run-up to the examinations and during the examination period. A number of key pupils have been asked to attend school as normal, whilst others may choose a more flexible approach. Year 10 Pupils Our Year 10 pupils had their end of year examinations last week and we were very impressed by their attitude and application.

  • PE Statement 2020 - 2021
    Primrose Hill Primary School PE Statement 2020 - 2021 Date: May 2020 Review: July 2021 1 Primrose Hill Primary School PE Premium Funding Statement 2019 - 20 The government is providing additional funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools – this is allocated based on the number of children in Year 1 – 6. Last year the government once again allocated extra funds for the PE premium; this meant we have received two amounts - £8,129 & £11,404 totalling £19,533. The PE Premium funding is used to continually improve PE and Sport Provision across the school. Since the introduction of the PE premium in 2014 this has meant a huge success in raising attainment in PE and we will continue to build on our provision again this year. At Primrose Hill we already prioritise PE and sport in our budget to enhance children’s participation, involvement and attainment in PE; however, this additional sum contributes a significant amount for our school which so far has enabled us to develop the PE offer in our school. The PE premium contributes to the overall PE budget and in the financial year 2021 - 2021 will be spent in line with government recommendations for how to best utilise the funding: Provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively: ● A full time dedicated PE Teacher and PE teaching assistant, at HLTA level, to support the expansion of the PE provision ● We continue to invest in new equipment and resources in order to introduce new sports to our children
