Physical Education Support

Despite being in lockdown, it is more important than ever for us to remain active and on the go. Any form of movement releases that positivity around your body that can help make you smile and forget your worries. Thanks to various school support groups and celebrities, getting active in your house has never been easier.

Gateshead School Sport Partnership

The Gateshead School Sport Partnership have created a bank of great ideas to help keep your children remain active despite a lack of space. 

 

The pack contains 14 activities that can be done in living rooms or in gardens with motivation and a sense of accomplishment at the end. 


Joe Wicks - The Nation's P.E Teacher

Since the lockdown began, Joe Wicks has been hosting HIIT classes on his YouTube channel at 9am every morning. If that is a little too early for you, you can watch the stream back whenever you are good to go! 

Junior Great North Run T-Shirt Design

The Gateshead School Sport Partnership are currently running a T-shirt design competition that they are running across the borough. The winning entry will be used as the article of clothing presented to everyone who completes the Junior Great North Run. 
All designs can be completed on an A4 piece of paper but make sure you include: 
- Your name
- Age
- School Name

National Football Museum

The National Football Museum is brilliant. Whilst it is located in the centre of Manchester, the community focused outreach work stretches far beyond the north west. 

 

Excitingly, the organisation has created a wonderful bank of resources to support learning at home for the duration of the lockdown. The range of the challenges look set to not just occupy your football loving child, but to inspire them to love the beautiful game even more. 

 

Activities range from colouring in sheets, to rewriting football history - such as what would happen if Zidane hadn't reacted to the taunts of the Matrix himself; Marco Materazzi. Give them a go!

 

The home learning section can be reached here or by searching for @nfm_learn on Twitter.

DanceUnite

Dancer Matt Bailey, along with the Gateshead School Sports Partnership, has launched DanceUnite across Gateshead, YouTube and beyond! 

 

Across the week, videos are posted showing you how to take part with the dance before the full performance being built together. 

 

This looks like a terrific way to get active in your living room! All of the videos can be found just by clicking here!

Dance with Oti Mabuse

Reigning Strictly Come Dancing Champion, Oti Mabuse has a YouTube Channel. The Greatest Dancer judge has a wealth of 'How To' videos already uploaded, but continues to stream daily at 2pm to teach you guys how to get better at probably the most popular sport at our school. Is dancing a sport? Let me try again - probably the most popular form of art at our school! Better.

I expect you to be able to do this by the time we return from lockdown! Clear the living room!
