I’m Tim Campkin. I have been working in the study centre over the summer on my break from University and have assisted Pete and the rest of the team in helping deliver the different sessions for the children. Aswell as delivering acivities we have ensured that children have had lots of fun and maximised their skills to an optimum level with a smile on their face.
One of my main duties has been to plan and deliver practical activities. These mainly being Tag Rugby and Kwik Cricket. Yesterday children took part in two Tag Rugby based activities which helped to build individuals’ ball skills, agility, co-ordination, speed, reaction time and many other fundemental motor skills. Activities were very competitive and children were seen diving and running around everywhere in order to succeed.
Tuesday also consisted of a Healthy eating session and Stadium Tour. Hannah and Zoe led the stadium tour and shared their depth of knowledge of the Saints and Franklin’s Gardens with the children. Young Learners were priveledged to visit many parts of the stadium whilst filling in an activity sheet. Places visited included trophy cabinets, changing rooms, physio rooms and running out of the tunnel illustrated in the video above. Prizes were given for the top score for the stadium quiz.
Zoe’s Healthy eating session helped to develop childrens’ understanding on what not to eat and what is good to eat. Fruit was a main subject in helping to explain what things could be done to fruit to make it a tasty nourishing alternative to unhealthy foods. This ended in each child making a smoothie with different fruits of their choice.
Overall, a great day and fantastic summer all round for both learners and staff. Even I have learned things this summer that will help me to enhance my University skills in my final year!
