Festival – Refer to page 1 and Target group below for more information
Date, Time and Venue: Wednesday 8th December 2021 @ Castle Rock School 9.15am-10.30am
Age Group: KS2
Gender: Mixed
Number of Pupils Maximum of 10 pupils per school, any number of boys/girls.
Intent: To support individual development in sport.
Target Group: Low self-esteem issues, low sporting ability, in need of a positive sporting experience, haven’t represented school at anything else and need encouragement to be active.
Aim: The aim of this event is to provide a positive, fun and engaging sporting experience for children who may have low self-esteem/low sporting ability and those who view sport in a negative light. The event is designed to teach children about determination, resilience and self-improvement to help their confidence and teach them to see challenges as opportunities to grow. It has been proven that having a growth mind set can improve a child’s progress & attainment.
How will it work: Schools will identify up to 10 KS2 pupils who would benefit from this experience and complete the challenges in their school and record their personal best score on their personal best passport prior to the face to face event. This can be done once but ideally multiple times.
At the face to face event the pupils will complete the same challenges as before and attempt to beat their personal best. This event is all about being the best they can be and trying to beat their own scores, not competing against other pupils.
Format
Upon arrival pupils will be put into mixed teams with pupils from other schools to rotate around the 4 personal best challenge stations which will be randomly selected from the Best Fest passport. These stations are the same activity for Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 pupils but can be adapted to be better suited to the age of the pupil taking part.
Equipment: All students must wear PE kit with all Jewellery removed and long hair tied back, pupils should also bring their own water bottle and their personal best passport.
