Introduction and Guidance
The September 2008 cohort of year 7 students have particular requirements for information regarding options in year 9, specifically for the launch of the Sports diploma in 2010, and the extended school leaving age. With these developments in mind, SkillsActive are delighted to provide UK schools with these free activities. Each activity is designed to take around 20 minutes to complete, making them ideal for teaching during form time, or as part of a careers enrichment day. The activities are straightforward and effective, with no expert knowledge required on the part of the teacher.
The activities have been devised in collaboration with groups of key stage 4 students at four schools in Suffolk. Two of the schools were mainstream, two were special schools for young people with moderate to severe learning difficulties.
The challenge was for the students to help develop activities that would be suitable for younger students. Their invaluable contribution has meant that each activity involves some form of creative expression and demonstration of their learning, including role play, displays or presentations.
This diversity of approach was seen by the students to be an important part in any successful learning activity.
