Description
Mental health in childhood is, among other things, about learning effective social skills and having enough healthy coping mechanisms to navigate the world. Although all children need to be supported with this process, some struggle with it more than others. On top of that, we, adults around children, often are not sure about where to turn and what to do when a child in our care needs support of this kind. This is why Hayley (NHS) and Marijana (Move-More) would like to invite you to this workshop and give you the opportunity to:
find out more about how to support the children and young people that you work with by signposting them to OnYourMindGlos, a new and exciting website and online support finder for children and young people’s mental health services and support in Gloucestershire; and,
learn about the “Tame your worry brain” tool, developed by Move-More to help adults with supporting children’s mental health, and explore ways you can apply it in your school.

This is primarily aimed at children in years 6 and 5 but could be simplified for LKS2 if desired. It is a 6 lesson scheme following the principles of STEPS: Space, Task, Equipment , People, Safety.
The aim is that at the end of the scheme, sport leaders will be more confident to create and adapt activities, be more independent in their own learning and able to set up and teach activities to younger children (for example for active play / lunchtimes).
Delegates choosing this workshop will receive a SOW, and experience snippets of some activities included in the scheme.

The Speed Stacking workshop is great fun and will introduce teachers to this growing sport.
Speed Stacking is both an individual and team sport that involves stacking 9 or 12 cups in pre-determined sequences as fast as you can. However, away from the set sequences it is a great activity to introduce in schools for both KS1 and KS2 and is a fantastic way to get the children physically active in PE, at lunchtimes or in a club without them even realising it!
It develops a whole host of skills including, co-ordination, cognitive development, social interaction, teamwork, personal challenge, determination, self belief and much more.
Come and join us for a practical, fun and high energy workshop!

Description
The latest iteration of the national curriculum for physical education (Department for Education, 2013) places a large emphasis on providing competitive opportunities for the young people in our schools. The addition of the School Games programme has provided a formal structure for many of these opportunities, but what about the competitions we create in our day-to-day teaching?
In their recent work on meaningful experiences in physical education Beni et al. (2017) identified competition as a point of contention for many young people, with very mixed views towards its use. This workshop will examine some of the benefits and risks of exposing young people to competition, examine some underpinning theories surrounding motivation and competition (self-efficacy and physical self-perception), and finally go on to suggest some practical ways we can structure competition to make it a positive experience for all of our pupils.
Space will be provided for delegates to share some of their own practices surrounding competition and begin to prepare an action plan/policy around the use of competition in physical education.
