“We wanted our pupils to develop mental and behavioural agility, where they can show flexibility in different situations. Asking for help is just as important as showing grit and determination. We wanted to develop the whole child so that they can cope in different contexts beyond the classroom. This is an important aspect of the new curriculum that we wanted to grow and develop. Forces Fitness has supported us greatly in this area. Our pupils are not just being given exciting and memorable experiences that will increase their wellbeing. We firmly believe that our pupils are making links and building on their successes beyond these sessions, therefore increasing their motivation to develop in all areas of their life.”

Sarah Cason (Palmerston Primary)

Health, Well-Being and Building Resilience sessions.

The increasing rate of obesity is putting more and more strain on our NHS. The sedentary lifestyles brought on by long hours in front of computer and TV screens is having adverse effects on our lives. With this in mind, we have developed this project with help from teachers and leading specialists in the field of health and well being and is built to fit in perfectly with the new curriculum.

The aim of the programme is to have a positive impact on individuals and make children more resilient to ACE’s (Adverse Childhood Experiences). It will also have a positive impact on the overall well-being and healthcare of the students. This programme covers the key ‘What Matters’ statements and the twelve pedagogical principles of the new Welsh curriculum. It has been key in helping several schools we work with, to plan and develop the new curriculum.

The sessions can be delivered in primary schools through to colleges and universities and can fit easily into the school or college timetable. The focus will be on educating the individual with easy to follow health and nutrition tips. We can deliver anything from a one-off session or work with your school for a whole term or even academic year.

“The pupils really enjoyed the sessions and gained a lot out of it. The structure was ideal for schools. The mix of theory and team challenges kept the pupils engaged throughout. You instantly put the pupils at ease and gave the pupils the right amount of encouragement to gain the confidence to take part and enjoy the activities. It was nice to see the pupils that normally wouldn’t have the confidence to work with people outside their friendship groups get stuck in and communicate with people they normally wouldn’t speak to.”

Ryan Thornton (Pencoed Comprehensive School)

Individuals are encouraged to work together and not only work towards becoming healthy, confident individuals but learn to think creatively, reframe problems and communicate effectively to support each other; through focussed tasks and challenges.

When considering opportunities for pupils to build on skills learnt in class, each Forces Fitness session can focus on different aspects of the 12 Pedagogical Principles.

Maintaining a consistent focus on the overall purpose of the curriculum is a thread in all sessions. (Principle 1)

The main core of our sessions are delivered outside on a school field or in a sports hall and will be designed and delivered to meet the needs and requirements of your school, college or university.

(Below is an example of how a 1 hour session would work).

1.
Introduction, nutrition talk and short video (10mins)
Classroom based access to a projector and computer/laptop will be required if possible.
2.
Warm up (4 mins)
Best held on a sports field but in bad weather can be conducted in sports hall or gym.
3.
Main session (30 mins)
The group is divided into teams and will then complete a series of team challenges.
1. Challenge 1 (10 mins)
2. Challenge 2 (10 mins)
3. Challenge 3 (10 mins )
4.
Final (10 mins)
3 questions and debrief about healthy eating and exercise

At the end of each challenge, the teams will have to answer two multiple-choice questions based on the initial nutrition and health and well-being talk they received at the start of the session.

Each teams score will be determined by how quick they complete each station, with bonus points for correct answers.

Winning station = 10 points

Losing station = 5 points

Correct answer = 5 points

Incorrect question = 0 points

Our school’s programme has been covered by the media with some fantastic support from councillors.
