Snowsport & Learning Outside the Classroom

Snowsport & Learning outside the classroomA helpful leaflet for those considering a school skiing trip

This booklet is intended to raise awareness, provide information and encourage all educationalists to consider the value of snowsports as a relevant and worthwhile activity complementary to your Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) Curriculum.

Outdoor education, residential experiences and adventurous activities should all be part of a pupil’s educational experience from primary level onwards. Snowsports is an example of a pursuit that encompasses these experiences.

Activities such as skiing and snowboarding have an invaluable part to play in broadening the curriculum and helping pupils cope in a rapidly changing world.

The BHF Well Fit!

Campaign aims to get young people moving

"By talking directly to all Secondary school starters we hope to arm them with enough ammunition to get active and avoid slipping into the bad habits which can last a lifetime. The British Heart Foundation is working to stimulate young people's interest in heart health but we need parents' support to ensure the ticking time bomb of physical inactivity is defused before it's too late." said Nicki Cooper, Head of Education at the British Heart Foundation.

The BHF is lending a helping hand with the launch of a free parental advice booklet called 'Get Kids on the Go'. The leaflet offers straight talking advice on simple ways for parents to get their kids active.
