Olympic Programme
This programme has been developed to ensure a greater awareness of all aspects of the Olympic and Para-Olympian movement through the provision of the common work booklet and physical activities that are conducted on the field/activity area.
The programme aims to:
- Introduce young people to the benefits of exercise through sport/activities.
- Support the development of social and interpersonal skills in a sporting/active environment.
- Improve and develop the motor skills of the young people.
- Begin to recognise the impact they can have individually and collectively in working towards a goal.
- Through short theory sessions prior to activity introduce the Olympic Values and expand their knowledge and understanding of the Olympics both ancient and modern.
The programme will consist of 6 week sessions. The sessions will be of an hour duration which will include a 20minute indoor session to complete a handbook on the Olympics and the values which will also recognize the Para Olympic values, whilst the other 40mins will be delivered practically working to specific session plans on aspects of sport. On the final day of delivery will have a mini Olympics with the class where each pupil will receive a certificate for participation and effort, with certificates for 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
Volunteers are integral to this programme assisting with both the practical and theoretical delivery of the programme. This is planned to role out in a variety of different schools of Nottingham with Sport Support Staff leading this.
