Fund Race Guide Dogs sports challenge

Looking for fun, simple and inclusive ideas for sports events? Well, look no further. Make a difference with a Guide Dogs sports challenge that everyone can enjoy. Fund Race is a track race or obstacle course for students, parents and teachers – with a twist. Everyone in the race is blindfolded and uses a rope or partner as their guide. To help you get started, they’ve created a free, downloadable pack, including activities co-produced with Twinkl, which offers resources for the race itself, ideas on inclusive warm up games, guidance for teachers on including learners with a vision impairment in PE, and an assembly to introduce the idea of inclusion to the whole school community. Take on the sports day challenge and find out more HERE

Bee Netball in Primary Schools 

We are really pleased to share with you the resources for Bee Netball for years 3 -4 and 5-6 HERE

Any primary school can deliver Bee within the curriculum and/or as part of the wider school programme. Bee is the ultimate team sport and has many benefits to your school’s pupils.

Bee Netball can also be held as a lunch or after school activity for children keen to be with their friends, practice their skills and super charge their team work. We have simplified rules for Year 3 & 4 here and Year 5 & 6 here.

We know lots of school playgrounds already have netball lines marked on them, but if your school doesn’t have lines or hasn’t got netball posts just yet, it doesn’t mean your pupils can’t enjoy Bee Netball.

What makes Bee, particularly special is at the heart of everything are the ‘Beeliefs’. These can be used within any Bee activity at your school, but also across your whole school if you think they will help

Swim England have commissioned new research to demonstrate the value of swimming to individuals and to society.

Their findings show clearly how swimming positively contributes to physical and mental wellbeing, to individual and community development, and helps to reduce the burden to our health and social care system.

Swimming can reach so many people and be enjoyed by people of all ages. It can transform lives and tackle a number of the problems facing society in a way that other sports and activities cannot.
