With the Summer Term being (supposedly) the term for better weather, we are gearing up for lots of outdoor sports such as, cricket, rounders, tennis and athletics. Despite this we are still working on and finishing other topics such as: invasion games, sports numeracy (SATS prep), wellbeing and interventions. With sports day coming up schools are asking for some sports day prep, preparing the children for the greatest showdown of the school calendar. It is a very busy time for everyone who is remotely linked to education. So be prepared! Make sure you have your childcare sorted for May Half Term and make that one less worry! To let us help you with that, book now via the link below. http://www.sportinginfluence.com/book-a-place/

We have had a brilliant two weeks so far this Easter holidays with one week still to go. On Wednesday we managed to fill camp with 78 children and 9 members of staff meaning we had loads of wristbands to give out and smiles on faces throughout the day! We have played a wide range of sports from badminton to football and netball to cricket. As well as the sports we have also had some amazing arts & crafts work and some fun games and activities as well. Week 3 is going to be a blast with more, swimming, martial arts, arts & crafts and games to be played!

Our amazing partners at AIM have been in delivering their top quality martial arts. During a session all the children are taught the basic history of martial arts before learning a kick and punch. They are taught why loud noises are made when striking and why it is important to be able to perform basic self defence.

This half term at Hookstone Chase Primary School, Mr Crooks has been working with the Year 5 and 6 Maple class exploring what a well rounded PE student looks like. The focus of the theory lessons have explored the importance of our core social skills and other core skills such as leadership, resilience, teamwork and organisation. The practical lessons then focused on how these skills are applied, in a competitive, fun and active setting. Some of the sports we have played include tchoukball, handball, bench ball, crossover and dodgeball.  Ultimately, this unit of work was aimed to successfully equip the students with the tools necessary for secondary PE, how to become young leaders and role models for the younger generation.

On Monday we hosted an orienteering and team building festival at Kirkhammerton Primary School. Year 5 & 6 children from Kirkhammerton, Staveley and Boroughbridge Primary Schools took part in a carousel of activities. Two activities were based on problem-solving where children had to break codes and transport objects in different ways. The final activity was orienteering where children used a map to locate different points around the school site. It was great to see so many children working so effectively as a team and a range of social skills used. At the end of the festival two children from each school who were identified by the teachers for using the social skills were rewarded with a certificate.

A late entry from Sporting Influence's very own Louise (Finance Admin), saved Sporting Influence's blushes after Mr McTernan "forgot" he had to do the dance! With minutes left of the Sporting Influence day, heroic Louise stepped in to make dreams come true! Take a look below at our attempt. It is important to say, this attempt is by no means perfect and is certainly not our first attempt! If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again!

Temple Newsam, Sunday 24th March, 11:00am. The hooter goes and around 700 people set off on their journey of 5k/10k/15k all in support of Stroke Awareness. The 15 strong Sporting Influence team, including full-time and part-time staff, parents, children and siblings, began their run in fine spirits with a mixture of the distances being covered. As the morning went on the runs began to finish and those left out on the course found the hills got steeper and the wind got stronger! By the end of the morning, all of the Sporting Influence team had crossed the line and completed their challenge. A big thanks goes to every one who took part, supported &. cheered. How much did we raise for Stroke Awareness? £1,125 With more donations pledged and awaiting collection! Everyone, how ever little donated, how ever much you helped. From everyone at Sporting Influence THANK YOU!
