Event Navigation
FOR ALL, TARGETED, COMPETITIVE
All of our events will follow our new event themes; For All, Targeted & Competitive. These themes have been designed to ensure we provide events to benefit all young people.
FOR ALL– These events are for everyone and are delivered in school. They focus on providing 60 active mins for every child whilst supporting their physical, social and emotional wellbeing.
TARGETED– These events target specific groups of young people who would benefit the most from having positive experiences of sport, physical activity and competition. The activities and outcomes are designed to reflect the young people’s needs and motivations.
COMPETITIVE– These events are for pupils who are ready and prepared for competition and enjoy performing and competing against others. They provide the opportunity for competition in a positive and friendly environment where the focus is on enjoyment and supporting the wider development of young people as much as the outcome of the event itself.
This is a FOR ALL event open to all children but with the focus being to increase motivation and promote enjoyment for those least active children within your school.
Taking place in the summer term with fun personal challenges and competitions for all primary aged children with 3 levels of challenges to complete; Bronze, Silver and Gold.
WHO FOR?
This is aimed at all children in Key Stage 1 and 2.
WHEN?
24th -28th April 2022 with a Partnership record attempt on Friday 28th April to see how many people we can get skipping in 1 day and to see if we can beat the record of 3720 set in 2021.
FORMAT
There are 3 skipping challenge levels:
• Bronze – Beginners
• Silver – Intermediate skippers
• Gold – Advanced skippers.
The children can have as many attempts as they would like but to achieve the appropriate level they must perform 10 of each skill without a mistake. There is also an additional ‘Personal Challenge’ for children to take part in if they want. How many skips can you do in 1 minute?
THEME
We would like to encourage children to take part in this event whilst embracing the Spirit of the Games values of determination and self-belief and will be providing schools with certificates to award to those children who best demonstrate these values throughout the week.
